He remembered the grueling practices, the camaraderie, the roar of the crowd. He navigated to his profile, hands slightly shaky. It was a collection of team photos, updated with pictures of his current team. He felt a deep yearning, a wish to rewind to the simpler times, when the only worry was the next game. A smile touched his lips, a complex expression.
