Missing the Mark in Mitzvos

An Israeli basketball player on the way up, back pain, a team that wants him, and a question about how to keep Shabbos while playing. Then a broken bone and a friend who goes looking in a book. Before Yom Kippur, a Chofetz Chaim on the last pasuk of Koheles asks what a sin done in private leaves behind, and who will see it in the world to come. The story lands in a surprising place, and it asks something of us in teshuvah.
