"We're going to put you at second base," the softball coach announced. Lisa, the team's outfielder, felt a thrill course through her. The shift would be significant, demanding new skills, new responsibilities. But she liked that.

She envisioned herself fielding ground balls, making the quick throws to first, becoming a key player in the infield. The thought of being closer to the action, of being in the middle of everything, sparked a fire within her.

Her shoulders relaxed. She was eager to start. This new path offered opportunities to shine, to become more essential to the team's success. This was exactly what she wanted.
