"Choke" is a short story by Joseph Bruchac featured in the anthology "Guys Read: The Sports Pages." The narrative centers around a young athlete grappling with the pressures of competition and his own fears of failure. Set in the context of a critical basketball game, the protagonist experiences a mix of anxiety and determination. As he faces not only the physical challenges of the sport but also the psychological barriers that threaten to undermine his performance, he learns valuable lessons about perseverance, self-acceptance, and the true meaning of success beyond winning.
