I shouldn’t enjoy our battle of wits so much. Coach Dean Ainsley is a grumpy jerk.
I can’t believe the man who ordered me to run a hundred laps almost gave me butterflies on our first meeting.
But to get into the national soccer team, an impossible-to-please coach is just what this prospective champion needs.
I don’t mind the grueling training sessions. Or the high-intensity drills. If Coach Dean wants a hundred laps, I’ll give him two hundred. Does he want me to sprint faster? Yes, sir.
Before long, I’m spending all these extra hours training with Dean. And sometimes, it’s not on the field…
It doesn’t mean anything when we hang out studying soccer films. It’s totally not a date when we have dinner together. And it definitely doesn’t mean anything that he writes me tiny messages, showering me with praise and encouragement, which contradicts his gruff exterior.
But when our arguments and battles on the training ground became the highlight of my day, I should have forfeited the game.
Now, it just might be too late.
