Coach Brown watched as the players began their warm-ups on the field, his expression unreadable. His eyes scanned over the team, paying attention to each and every movement, assessing them silently.
He felt the presence of someone stop beside him, he didn't need to look to know who it was. The dark and bulky figure in his peripherals was enough to recognize Coach Coleman.
"How is everyone's conditioning this year?" Coach Brown asked, his eyes not leaving the field.
"Great. I don't think I've ever seen a more capable squad, since I've been here at least." Coach Coleman stated, his deep voice full of praise.
"Mmm." The head coach nodded. Hearing such high praise from the man beside him was something that could be considered extremely rare.
"This years team seems to be different. Everyone seems a lot more focused…" He mused.
"I honestly don't think I've ever had such a productive off season." He added.
