Cairo's POV
"Alright Ladies." I say as I stand in front of my team.
Today's the first training day of SheBelieves and right now is session two of the day.
Our first session was fitness shit.
"Before we start I have some news to share with all of you." I say. "And I need Becky and Ali up here with me."
Everyone looks at Ali and Becky then the two veterans come stand with me.
"Ladies." I say then I point to Becky. "Meet the captain of the United States women's national team."
"Huh?" Becky says.
"And meet the vice-captain of the United States women's national team." I say as I point to Ali.
"Say what now?" Ali says.
"You are the vice-captain of the team and Becky is the Captain of the team." I say.
"WHEW." Ash cheers then she scoops her wife up into her arms which causes the rest of the team to celebrate with Becky and Ali before they start their warmups.
"Mama." Katara says as she pulls on my pants.
"Yes Baby?" I ask as I squat down to my daughter's height.
"Can I watch Cartoons?"
"Of course." I say. "I put the iPad and your headphones in my bag."
"Thank you." Katara says then she pecks my lips before she heads back to her spot
Once Katara's back in her spot, I watch the team run through the last of their warm ups then we get down to business
"So I want us to work on possession today." I say. "It's gonna be an 11v11 drill and you have to have 10 passes before you shoot at goal."
Everyone nods as the fitness team hand me a list.
"We'll do this drill for a little while then we'll move on to other stuff." I say "Also Alyssa, AD, and Lindsey you are needed for fitness."
Alyssa, AD, and Lindsey nod then they head off to do their fitness stuff while the remaining players split into two teams
Once the teams are decided, everyone heads onto the pitch then I kick the ball to Emma to start the drill.
For the next twenty minutes, most of the team do the drill flawlessly.
The only person who keeps fucking up is the one person who needs to retire.
"NO NO NO." I shout when Carli loses the ball AGAIN then I look at my daughter.
Once I'm sure my daughter is busy watching her cartoons, I walk on field and approach Carli.
"I swear to fuck, if you give the ball up one more time then I'm gonna send you home." I say. "It's not that fucking hard to pass and move."
Carli goes to say something, but I cut her off
"You're not open so stop fucking shooting." I say then I move over to the ball, which is a few feet away from me. "Whenever you give up the ball in the final third, it allows the defense to do this."
After I speak I launch the ball upfield and play an inch perfect pass to Christen, who's in the opposition half.
"It's not that difficult to be unselfish." I say then I walk back over to Koda.
Once I'm back with Koda, the game resumes.
"I'm about to lose my shit with her." I mumble.
"Breathe Cairo." Keegan says as she rubs my back. "Just breathe."
