Practice
The squad would start practice and line up before going to work. Their coach would enter and lead them in a warm-up before they would start the more intense drills. She stopped and looked at Melissa who was visibly not performing well that day. The coach commented on her poor performance.
Melissa didn’t know what to say back and just kept trying to lead the squad with cheers. But she felt slow and out of breath. Things were not going well and she needed to take a break. The coach was not sympathetic towards her at all. Melissa knew this wasn’t going to end well.
