My heart beats blue white red

The trial training

Theseason's final training session took place the next day. What I didn't know atthe time, that it would be my last training as a young eagle. However, ourtrainer did not spare us. The first thing to do was the sprints. I exceeded mybest time again. Then it went on the ice with the full gear. There we repeatedthe whole thing again. Then the pass training was due. I was in a group withRuben and Kevin. Since the three of us had all started with the young eagles atthe same time, we had become best friends. Each one pushed the other to his limit.Then came the shooting practice. Everyone had to take a penalty shot againstour goalkeeper Markus. Once again I was the only one, who could overcome him.After that there was a final speech from Sebastian our trainer. "I wouldlike to thank you all for a great season. Some of you may play for theprofessionals in the DEL next season. (He looked at me) But remember where youcome from, which path you have behind you." After that, as the captain, Ihad the last word again. "I am grateful to be part of this team. Thisseason we showed every team that we are the best." And then our battle cryfollowed for the last time. "One, Two, Three! Let's go Mannheim!"Then we clap each other and then everyone drove home. I met Ruben and Kevin fora beer. All three of us made it to trial training. And everyone wanted to showwhat they could. Then I drove home and fell into the bed dead tired. In the twodays off, it was time to relax. I went for a walk with my dachshund, Tim, anddid my standard workout consisting of pull-ups, push-ups and 10 minute bikesessions. I ate relatively little because I wanted to lose some weight for thetrial training. I tried to get down from 62.5 kg to 60 kg. I ended up weighing61.5 kilograms. I played a little more NHL 20 that evening. Then I went to bedearly. The next day I drove to the SAP arena. The other 5 players who wereselected for the trial training are already waiting there. We were greeted byPavel Gross and Marcel Goc. "Nice that you all came. We're going to dosome training sessions with you today, and you'll also compete against thepros. We'll take a close look at you and the best will get a place in the Teamfor the 2020/21 season." said Pavel Gross. The training sessions weretough. We had already trained everything in our training, only everything wastwice as bad as we were used to. Everyone was faced with a professional. Youhad to compete against him in a specific training session at the end. I got toface David Wolf. "You have very great talent. Let's see how well you do ina shootout duel. Dennis do you have time?" he his Goalkeeper. Each one ofus took turns shooting 5 shootouts against Dennis Endras. In the end I lostjust 3:2. "You did well." said David Wolf. After the training, I tooka photo with some of the professionals. Among them were Dennis Endras, David Wolf,Borna Rendulic, Cody Lampl and Matthias Plachta. Pavel Gross was very surprisedby me. I would get a response in 2 weeks. I drove home happy. When I got home,I went for a long walk with Tim and then fell tired into bed. Had I made itinto the team?
