I was welcomed back into the team seamlessly as Dave dominated all conversations, talking about our offensive output. We slowly got ready, putting on our cleats and making sure our bags were packed with all the equipment.
Coach came over with his assistants and let Dave continue his chatter until it got closer to warmup time. "Alright, that's enough. Save some energy for the game, will ya?"
The whole team quieted down and Coach took center stage. "New lineup." He got straight to the point.
