"We need you at goalie," Coach Ramirez said to Elena, a talented forward. She knew the team had struggled in that area.

She felt a warm contentment spread through her.

She practiced relentlessly, learning the angles, the techniques. Every save brought a new sense of purpose. When she blocked the penalty shot, securing the victory, the feeling was more than just happiness. She was filled with a sense of pride. The team mobbed her. She laughed, her heart light.
