As everyone steps out onto the soccer field and starts to stretch one of the coaches tells us to run a lap. As everyone un-enthusiasticly gets up and starts to jog slowly, our coach gets up and starts chasing everyone. Once he starts everybody starts to sprint as fast as possible around the green field. Once we reach the other end of the field, we all fall down from exhaustion. I can feel my heart beating so hard in my chest I have to convince myself that no one else can hear it. My chest feels heavy and my throat feels tight as I stand up and grab a ball. I walk over to the group and continue stretching still out of breath. I sit in the small circle waiting for the coach to call for a water break, but he doesn't and I sit there panting. Eventually I see everyone stand up so I do the same. They start running with the ball, and all I can think is: hear we go again.
Guess the coach wants to see what you can do in a hurry, right? I wonder how you made it through the rest of the practice? Fun to hear about, Lily! I love the line about your heart beating so hard...
