The Man Who Loved Spring - The Gamme - The Man Who Loved Spring, #1

"The Man Who Loved Spring: The Game" is a gripping story revolving around the lives of Gabriel Shaw, his older brother Daniel, and their peers. Gabriel, known for his well-behaved and non-confrontational nature, one day is unexpectedly called to the school principal's office, leading to a series of unexpected events. Gabriel's brother Daniel is the captain of the school football team and is aiming for a university scholarship, thus his future is highly dependent on his performance.
When the school principal and the football coach reveal that Gabriel hasn't participated in any sports, they coerce him into joining the football team. Despite Gabriel's initial reluctance and his rightful questioning of this abrupt decision, the administration applies pressure, insinuating that if he does not agree, his brother's place on the team and future could be in jeopardy. Begrudgingly, Gabriel concedes and joins the team, though it's clear he doesn't enjoy the game.
The siblings' relationship is strained, and Daniel's girlfriend, Louise, disapproves of Daniel's unsupportive attitude towards his brother. As Gabriel takes his first steps into the sports world, his friends show their concern for his wellbeing.
