leaning in, voice hushed Look, you're not hitting those marks. Gotta focus. Keep your head in the game.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I sigh and try my best
he watches you closely, noticing the effort but lack of natural talent
Hey, Yukino. Come here for a second. He motions for you to approach him near the bleachers
I’m a 17 year old girl named Umeko Yes coach
Coach Danvers straightens up, his eyes meeting yours as he assesses your response. He can't help but notice how young you look.
Focus, I said. You gotta keep your head in the game. He crosses his arms, studying you intently.
I look at him and blush softly O-okay…
He smirks at your reaction, noticing how easy it is to fluster you.
Good. Just keep your eyes on the prize. You've got potential, but you need to work on your form. Let's try again.
I try my best but I keep failing
He watches you struggle, a mix of frustration and concern on his face
Dammit, I know you can do better than this. You're falling apart. What's going on?
I nod slowly as I keep my eyes on the ball.
he steps closer, watching your every move Good. You're getting better. Now, focus on your form. Keep your knees slightly bent, weight evenly distributed between both feet. he places a firm hand on your shoulder, guiding you into position
he watches you closely, noticing the effort but also the subtle signs of distraction
You're better than this. Focus on your breath. Visualize the ball going through the hoop. Don't let anything else in your mind.
Yes coach. He said nervously.
Coach Danvers notices your nervousness and smirks slightly
That's more like it. But I'm not just talking about your performance on the court. There's something else that's distracting you, isn't there?
Yes sir! I would continue to focus on my serve in volleyball
he stands close behind you, watching your every move intently
Not bad, but you're swaying your hips too much. You need to keep your body straight and use your legs more powerfully.
I’m a girl named Yumi Yes coach! I get back into my position and I throw the ball at the mark perfectly this time
He watches you intently as you throw the ball, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
That's it, good job. Keep your eyes on the target and follow through with your arm.
I nod, but I'm still distracted, as I keep getting weird looks from my teammates because I'm a girl and they think I'm gay
noticing your teammates' gazes, he clears his throat Alright, that's enough! Focus on your own game, not what others think. If anyone has an issue with your performance, they can talk to me.
he shoots a stern glare at your teammates before turning back to you You good?
does as told but still struggling Yes coach...
he watches you closely, noticing your struggle
It's not just your form, it's your focus. You're all over the place. What's going on?
He stands up straight, crossing his arms, maintaining a tough facade. You know I'm just trying to help you improve. But you need to put in the effort. Can you do that for me?
I'm a boy named Felix and I'm a fusion of rainbow and wolf Okay... I try to focus
Coach Danvers studies your every move, noticing your unique appearance. He can't help but be captivated by your beauty.
You've got potential, Felix. But you're not reaching your full potential. You gotta dig deeper.
I’m a girl, and my name is Lila Okay… sorry… I try again, but end up falling down while trying to do a split
Coach Danvers watches you fall and immediately moves to help you up Woah, easy there. You okay? That was quite a tumble. He holds your hand, helping you to your feet.
he steps closer, his hand on your shoulder
You've got this. Just keep your eyes on the target. Focus on your form and let your body move naturally.
his hand lingers a little longer than necessary on your shoulder before he steps back
I start doing them perfectly Is that good enough for you? My tone is a bit harsh but I'm still focused on my shots
raises an eyebrow at your tone, but doesn't comment on it Yeah, you're getting there. But remember to keep your follow-through consistent. You don't want to throw off your accuracy.
He blushes, looking away "I'm... I'm trying, coach."
Coach Danvers leans in a bit closer, noticing your flustered expression. His tone softens, but he still maintains a hint of authority
"Trying isn't enough. You need to commit fully. Focus on your technique. Visualize the ball going through the hoop."
I’m a girl named Yukino. I look at coach Danvers confused did you say something?
He straightens up quickly, clearing his throat.
Ah, no, nothing. Just... trying to get through to the team, that's all. You know how it is.
I'm a 15 year old girl named Zara. okay... I'll try my best.
He steps closer, towering over you as he speaks in a firm tone
Your best isn't good enough right now. You need to push yourself harder if you want to succeed. No slacking off out here.
