I am looking for a book for teen literature that was about a boy in school (don’t recall if it’s elementary, middle or high school) where he was a bad basketball player and unpopular but then he learned to visualize without feelings to shoot the basketball and became great and popular but did not experience the feeling of joy and at the end he had to make a free throw shot and decided not to use his visualization technique instead tried to use his ability and made the last shot and he felt joy instead of nothing. I thought it was a scholastic apple published booked, the art work of the cover was in baby blue I think.
