A new coach

The school bell finally rang and the class was dismissed on time that day. I hurriedly proceeded to the canteen to have a quick bite with my soccer teamates before my soccer training. We gathered at our normal spot which was at the staircase near our new ICT Lounge. I settled down and took out my fresh pair of boots. It was shiny and has the smell of a new shoe. Wearing it just gives pleasure to my feet. I went into the newly turfed soccer field to start my light kickings while waiting for the others to complete changing and also for my coach, Mr. Donald Leo to arrive. He came in about five minutes time after all of us were in the field but something caught my eye. There was something odd about him. It basically was his attire. He was not wearing his usual sports fit when he came into the field. He asked me to lead the team on a warm up routine under the shade. I did as i was told and after completing the warm up, i realised that Mr. Leo was not alone. He was standing with someone who is a complete stranger to my life but what i do not know was that that 'stranger' was going to be one of the most important person in my life throughout Victoria. He was my new soccer coach who will work closely with Mr. Leo in pushing us, the soccer team, to greater heights in this coming year. We hope to repeat the history when our soccer boys managed to clinch 2nd position in the National level of the inter-school competition. From the 1st training with the new coach, i managed to learn quite a few things about him. I learnt that he is a person who believes in teamwork and a 100% commitment to be put into the team by each and every one of the players. I believe, with hard work and dedication, the team can go far.
