The clipboard shook in Maya’s hand as she read the list. Her name wasn’t there. Not on the A-Team, not even the B-Team. A wave of disappointment, a cold wash, ran through her. But then, Coach Miller clapped her on the shoulder. “Tough break, kiddo. But you've got potential. We’re putting you on the developmental squad. You'll learn a ton there.” Maya took a deep breath. She swallowed hard, meeting the coach's gaze. A genuine smile, a feeling of deep appreciation, blossomed from within her. She'd get more individual attention, more chances to hone her skills. She was ready to work.
