The baseball coach met with Jake after batting practice. "Jake, we're shifting you to catcher." Jake, the team's reliable pitcher, felt a wave of… ease. He knew it was the right decision.

He pictured the young catcher, nervous and anxious. He imagined him being more at ease, more confident in his role.

"Sure, Coach," he replied, a genuine smile gracing his face. He began studying the other team's batters, analyzing their weaknesses.

He spent hours practicing his throws to second base. He felt a deep sense of contentment as he saw the catcher's confidence grow.
