The cold air bit at Eliza's cheeks as she jogged towards the practice field. The coach had called her aside yesterday, proposing a switch from guard to center. Her stomach had churned. Now, the fear felt less daunting.

She listened intently during the drills, focusing on the new techniques. When she nailed a difficult snap, a genuine smile spread across her face.

After practice, she went to the coach and said, "Thanks for believing in me, coach. I'm going to work harder than ever." She found herself smiling, a warmth spreading through her chest. It was a good day.
