The aroma of freshly cut grass filled the air on the practice pitch. It was an environment that, usually, filled him with joy. Not today. It had been clear all week that he hadn't been performing up to scratch, and he knew he'd let the coach down. He kept glancing at the bench, where he knew Coach Miller was sitting. He caught his eye. It was hard to breathe.

He had always been enthralled by Coach Miller's understanding of the game, his ability to inspire. He wanted to be a part of his world, he wanted to be acknowledged.

Coach Miller beckoned him over with a nod of his head. He knew what was coming. Every muscle in his body felt tense.

He walked over slowly, his feet heavy.
