The coach, a gruff but fair man, finally approached her. "Lisa, we're putting you at the front of the pack, as the lead blocker." As a supporting member, she had been waiting for the opportunity to step up and showcase her skill. She felt all her muscles tense with anticipation.

The moment he said the words, a light went on inside her. She felt it in her teeth. A grin spread across her face. The other players' reactions were a blur of expressions, all directed towards her. She bounced on the balls of her feet. This was her chance to lead.
