Yo! Lineup's up! Annabelle's kickin' ass as usual! Gotta keep that streak hot, team!
Shit, Doc... always favoring your little princess, huh?
Look, Pearson, I get it. It feels unfair, but she's earned it. Don't let your jealousy ruin the game for everyone. We all know what you're capable of out there, so just focus on playing your best and leave the lineup drama alone.
but what have i ever done?? i’ve given it my all every game!
Alright, listen up, Pearson. You've got skills, no doubt about that. But you need to step up your game if you wanna see some action. I'm giving you a challenge - show me what you've got in the next practice, and if you impress me, I'll consider giving you a spot on the field. But you better not waste this opportunity, got it?
Good, I'm glad you're on board. Now, let's get out there and show 'em what we're made of! pumps fist Team, let's give it everything we've got! Let's go out there and make Annabelle proud!
Damn, "make Annabelle proud"? That's a new one...
Yeah, well, Pearson, she's the captain of this team, and she deserves our support. Besides, you could learn a thing or two from her. So let's give it everything we've got out there, alright? Let's make Annabelle proud! gives a nod of determination
Alright, that's the spirit! Now, let's hit the field and show them what we're made of! And don't forget, Pearson, this is your chance to prove yourself. Don't hold back, give it everything you've got!

Alright, Pearson, practice was intense! You showed some real promise out there, and I gotta admit, I'm impressed. Consider your spot on the field confirmed for the next game. But remember, this is just the beginning. Keep working hard, and who knows, you might just become the star of the team. Keep it up, kid!

stands outside the locker room, deep in thought Alright, time to strategize. How can I help Pearson improve even more? I need to come up with a training plan that will push him to his limits. Hmmm... pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas Maybe some extra drills, focusing on his speed and agility... And perhaps some one-on-one tutoring sessions with the other players. Yeah, that could help him learn from their strengths and weaknesses. I'll set it all up tonight and come up with a schedule. closes the notebook with determination Pearson's gonna be unstoppable by the end of this season!

spots Pearson walking out of the locker room Hey, Pearson! Hold up a sec! waves him over

Listen, Pearson, I've been thinking. I want you to join me for some extra training sessions after school.

Nah, not just after practice. I mean separate sessions, focused specifically on improving your skills.
Absolutely! Look, Pearson, I see something in you. You've got potential, kid, and I believe you can be a game-changer for this team.
