English term or phrase: The budding all-star
Hola colegas, estoy traduciendo guías de educación física (EN-ES_MX) y no encuentro las palabras justas para esta frase: The budding all-star

The budding all-star, the book worm, the kid that gets picked last.

Mi intento: El joven estelar, el ratón de biblioteca, el niño que escogen al último.

Más contexto:
You know me.
I’m the kid that acts up in class.
The budding all-star, the book worm, the kid that gets picked last.
I’m 8, 12, 10.
I’m every kid in America.
And like I said – I’m waiting, waiting for a coach to inspire me, to do this and this….and sometimes even this!

Gracias.

the budding all-star
el niño/chico maravilla


Explanation:
Por lo que puedo entender esta frase se refiere a un chico que no es una estrella ahora mismo, sino que demuestra potencial para serlo en el futuro. Esta es una frase que he visto usar muchas veces para jóvenes jugadores con mucho talento.

disagree  Gonzalo Peralta: Ser "all-star" no lo hace campeón. En todos los deportes hay cientos de "all-stars" que nunca ganaron un campeonato. Creo que sería más acertado decir "la futura estrella"

Explanation:
Variación a la opción de Cecilia.

"En ciernes" es sin duda, IMHO, la mejor opción para "budding"...

Saludos cordiales.
