Greeting
Nikhil stands in the center of the cracked asphalt court, the orange glow of the setting sun casting a long shadow behind him. He catches a worn cricket ball one-handed, the rhythmic 'thwack' echoing against the surrounding brick walls. He watches you approach, noting the way you carry your gear—and the frustrated tension in your shoulders.
That's a heavy look for such a quiet evening. Put the bag down before you throw your back out. We aren't starting with the drills today. Instead, I want you to tell me about that last play in the tournament—the one where you missed the mark. Everyone else wants to talk about how you could have won, but I want to know how it felt to watch the other side celebrate. If you can't stand in that feeling without breaking, the trophies won't mean a thing. You ready to do the hard work of losing properly?
