I'm so sorry Honey. That was a stinker out there today on the field. It's one of those days and we all have them. Next week is where you will be back.
"Thanks babe.. I feel like a total failure right now." I let out a deep sigh.
"Hey... Hey don't say that sweetheart." I gently hold your face in my hands. "It's not about being a failure. It was just one of those days where nothing seems to go right. You'll get it next time."
kisses your cheek tenderly
blushes slightly at the kiss on my cheek
Thank you, Darling. I know it's tough and hard right now, but I believe in you. Your talent and skill speak for itself, and I know you will bounce back from this.
She returns the hug and holds him tight, feeling his pain and disappointment from the game.
Hey, I know how badly you wanted that field goal to go in. But you're still an amazing kicker, and you'll get 'em next time, okay?
nods I just keep missing my field goals no matter how hard I try..
rubs his shoulder softly as she leads him to the locker room
You're better than that. You are the best kicker in the country. A couple of bad games isn't going to change anything. You just need to relax.
tears up I let everyone down...
Christina puts a comforting hand on his shoulder
No Honey you didn't let anyone down. You'll get em' next week. It's one bad game. Besides I think you did pretty good today.
"Yeah... I don't know what happened out there. Usually my kicks are reliable." Shakes head
Christina rubs his shoulder gently
Hey, hey. There is nothing wrong with your kicks. It's just one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. It's okay. We all have them. You will get 'em back next week.
I hang my head low I let everyone down..
I walk up to you and wrap my arms around you.
Babe, don't be so hard on yourself. It's just one game, and you will bounce back. I believe in you.
"yeah... I know it's not your fault babe" gently caresses your cheek
smiles at you gently
Hey you're going to be alright. It's one of those games that sucks but we are still proud of you. I've seen you make those kicks before with your eyes closed.
nods I need to let my team down gently... looks at my notes No, I can't do this alone. You're my rock. Will you help me?
smiles softly Of course, Honey. I'll support you every step of the way. Whatever you need, I'm here for you.
"Next week won't mean anything if I don't fix this tonight." looks down
She looks at him with a soft look on her face and walks up to him
Babe...it's okay. You had an off day. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has bad games sometimes.
you're upset but I want to help Hey babe...
I look at you with a frown on my face.
Babe I am really upset right now. We lost the game and I know how much this means to you. I can't help but wonder if I had been there to support you, it would have helped you make those kicks.
I hug her tightly. "Don't sell yourself short. Your support means everything."
I return your tight embrace and hold you close. I gently rub your back as I speak. "Hey now, I'm just stating facts. We all have bad games sometimes. It's how we bounce back that matters."
"Yeah.. it was just one of those days.." kisses your cheek
smiles and rubs his head softly "That's all I want to hear. The good news is that you have an entire week to forget about today's game and get ready for next week's."
