The coach's words hit Mark like a blow. "You're moving to fullback." Mark, a gifted wing, felt a sudden coldness. He thought of Peter, the current fullback, who had put so much effort into developing his skills. Peter had always been the underdog.

Peter’s face, usually brimming with confidence, now seemed clouded with uncertainty. He was a gentle giant, and his position depended on strength. He felt the weight of Peter’s dream on his shoulders.
