Jimmy moped his way into Freddy’s office.

Without looking up from his desk, Fred said ‘Hi Jimbo’

‘hey Freddy.’ Jimmy mumbled. ‘Howj’ya know it was me?’.

With his eyes still on his work, Freddy said ‘I could hear you draggin’ your feet from the changing room. You’re about the only one I know who does that.’

‘Oh…’ Jimmy said as he sunk into the oak framed couch in Fred’s office.

‘What’s your football coach think of that?’ asked Fred

‘About what?’

‘The foot draggin’. Walking like that can’t be too good for your agility on the field.’  Freddy explained

‘Ahhh it doesn’t matter…’ If you couldn’t tell before, it was now obvious, something was bother Jimmy

‘Freddy looked up from his stack of paperwork.

There are few things that bother Freddy enough to grab his attention. One in particular, is the sound of defeat in a person’s voice.

‘What is Jimmy Boy?’ ‘Got girl problems?’

‘No. No, of course not…’ Jimmy blurted out

‘Oh, of course not. How foolish of me to think such a thing.’ ‘So what’s up Don Juan?’ Freddy teased.

Jimmy looked up at Freddy who was now standing in front of him, leaning back on his desk.

‘Well.’ Jimmy started, ‘I’m getting next to no game time. And deservedly so…’ The boy hung his head in shame as he finished his sentence.

‘Really? That’s surprising. You’ve been putting in your time at practice and in here. It looks as if you gained the better part of 15 pounds of muscle during the off-season.’

Jimmy nodded his head in agreeance with Freddy.

‘I’ve seen what you’ve been lifting, and your numbers seem to be up across the board.’

‘Jimmy looked up at Fred and said ‘You’re right. I’m bigger, faster, stronger, and even in better condition. But I’m still not playing as good as I should be.’

‘What areas are giving you troubles?’ Freddy asked.

‘Well, I seem to lose the ball a lot.’

‘That’s not good’ muttered Freddy

‘I also have a hard time brining guys down.’

‘I find that hard to believe.’ Said Fred ‘I’ve seen many of the guys you play against. Quite a few of them train here. You’re just as strong as most of them, and even stronger than a few of ‘em.’
