The theme of One Shot at Forever, by Chris Ballard, is to never give up. Even when you know you will lose, never give up. The concept grows throughout the text as the players and coach grow as characters. They learn at the end tournament that the entire season was no ruined because of the game. The theme first starts to emerge when the team beats their first team. “Shartzer was weary. If this was coaching, it was unlike any he had received before” (Ballard, 51). This shows the theme, never give up, because the coach had decided to try a different style of coaching, and not giving up on the team.
