Chapter 25 - Don't forget you are a genius

"Prefect, Coach." [Henry responded immediately to Coach Wilson]

Coach Wilson smiles at them and said, "Okay, starting from the last man in the line. I don't care about this league season coming up next month, and if you get this question wrong, you fucking go home, and you will never come back to the team. I am saying it again, if you have this question wrong, you are out of this team. Am I clear, boys?"

[Team] "Yes, Coach..."

[Coach Wilson sighs] "You can start by saying, my name is, and you add the answers to it. Okay, there is a saying, "leadership by an example." I am Larry Wilson, your new football head manager. My aim is to train the champions in the final season leagues. Just to train and win..."

"So, what about you boys? Starting from the left. You mention your name, give me your answer! Hey you!"

[The first player, Coach Wilson, pointed his finger to answer his question, was called Ezra. Ezra smiles and gave Coach Wilson a wrong answer Coach Wilson never wanted. So, Coach Wilson shut him up]

"My name is Ezra, and I am a running back for this team, coach...."

"Hey, shut up! I didn't ask you to smile and mention your position to me. Sit the hell of you down, Ezra...."

[Both laughing]

"Hey! Shut up boys! I am not joking here...."

[Team] "Sorry, Coach..."

"Hey! you, Henry. You're the team captain, so give me your answer. If you fucking wrong by my answer, you sit your damn ass down. You'll go home, captain..."

"Don't worry, Coach. My team and I are here today just to train and prepare for the next season's league, Coach. And I hope I am not wrong?" [Henry smiles]

Coach Wilson smiles at Henry after giving his answer and said, "Oh, okay Henry, you have a good idea as captain. You and your players are just here to train and prepare for the next season's league, right?

"Yes, Coach Wilson." [Henry smiles again at Coach Wilson]

Coach Wilson take a deep breath and said, "Hmm. But this is not the answer I want you to give me, Henry. So, sit your ass down, captain. You'll go home. I don't like players who are too sure..."

"Like damn! Coach. And why, Coach?" [Henry sighs]

"It's not only a football team camp, but you can also train and prepare for the next season at home, captain. You are going home to train and prepare for next month's season...."

"Okay Coach." [Henry sighs and sit down on the ground]

Henry sat down comfortably unlike he didn't care about going home. After Henry, Coach Wilson pointed his finger at another player called Oliver.

"Good! Hey you, young man. Why are you here?" [Coach Wilson smiles]

"My name is Oliver, and I am here to train and play better in the next season's leagues Coach." [Oliver smiles back at Coach Wilson]

"No Oliver! That's not why you're here, just sit your ass down...."

"Okay, Coach Wilson." [Oliver continues immediately]

"Hmm. So, the team captain is sitting down and one running back is also sitting down because they don't know why they are in this camp. So, none of you can give me the answer that I need? Okay all of you, sit down, we are all going home..."

All the players sat down comfortably because they didn't believe that they could also give a try to the answer Coach Wilson wanted. Even to give a wrong answer, unlike the other players did. But Lefah didn't sit down, and he was still standing, but had no answer in mind, but a wrong answer, unlike the other players. Because Lefah realized no answer could impress Coach Wilson but to give a try. So, Coach Wilson walked to Lefah and said, "But I think I told you guys to sit down. Or?"

"Yeah, but I want to give a try to your answer because I have got to know that no answer can impress you, Coach." [Lefah sighs]

"Oh, wow, it's really incredible to stand. Okay you can go ahead with your answer, Lefah. I am listening to you. please...."

"Please, Coach. I am here to train, focus and play the best, just like Barry Sanders. And also, to break more records in NFL history in the next season leagues, and my years of playing football. And I can only achieve all that unless I play football under your supervision or, let's say, under your control. I am all here to listen, force, train, and play as you train me, because I don't even know how to play football, Coach..."

"Coach Wilson smiles at Lefah and put his hand around Lefah's shoulder and said, "Very good, Lefah. I really like your answer. And you didn't just try, but you answered me right, Lefah. And I think you are born to play to become a legend one day. You are not like these players sitting down. Please you can sit down and listen to me. Hey, don't forget you are genius...."

"Thank you, Coach." [Lefah smiles and sit down]

"Now! Listen to me carefully, players. We are all here to train. That's fine and besides, today's event is training day, and we all know that. But we can also stay in the house and get to train. But let me tell you one thing, the moment you run from home to this camp just because you are here to train is different from training in the house...."

"The reason why you guys are here is one, to train. Two, to listening. Three, to play under my supervision. Champions don't just train us as normal football teams do but to train and fight against defeats..."

"When I was young, like you. My Coach told me a lot about football and what my Coach told me was, "Hey! Wilson, visiting the camp every morning, afternoon and evening training can never make you the best, Champion or a winner...."

"But to stand on your feet and fight against defeats will forever make you and the team champions, Wilson..."

"The moment my coach told me this. I asked him a question about how I can stand and achieve all that because I want to play football and break records in NFL history just like those legends."

"My coach smiles at me and said to me, "Only if you train like a legend, listen to legends carefully and, last but most importantly, is to play football under my control...."
