Conflict in Curve ball-Alex Duke

The conflict in Curve ball is definitely man vs himself.Peter is struggling with his arm and high school. He thought high school was going to be a breeze until he hurt his arm while pitching.He could have stopped it by telling his coach or somebody but he did not tell anybody about his pain.He thought high school would be a breeze because he could make the JV team as a freshman.Now his whole plan to make it through high school have twisted around. He has not told his best friend that he will never be able to pitch again.
This makes Peter's situation worse though. Aj is talking about them being able to pitch together again soon.Peter knows he won't be able to pitch again but can't get the nerve to tell Aj. This hurts Peter even worse because Aj is talking about getting the feeling of striking some one out.While Peter is thinking I'll never get that feeling again.Peter is basically beating himself up about this.This is why the conflict is man vs himself.
