    A young boy likes to resume games and catch from his father while he plays.

    "Amateur" (2018) by Ryan Koo - SuperBasket A young boy likes to resume games and catch from his father while he plays. He is an excellent technique to understand one's mistakes and improve. A very nice story about this boy who gets stuck in his studies, but with the right teachers he starts getting good grades and can find solutions to problems without giving up.
