“Come in, son,” Coach Olsen said, his voice flat. He pointed to the chair opposite his desk, his gaze fixed on the framed photo of his championship team. He hadn’t felt this much pressure in decades.

He felt a familiar tightening in his chest. This was always the hardest part. He avoided eye contact. He wanted to get this over with. He wanted to walk away.

He swiveled in his chair, facing the window. He was so done with this.
