JJ's POV
Clemson State
Championship (3rd round)

Today is so important. If we win today we're one more round away from being possibly national champions. Coach Brielle had not been at all positive and keeps telling us we are going to lose. Our captain Ava keeps going behind her back to tell us positive things. Cause what coach puts their players down when they are this close to the finish line.

As we get off the bus we get on the bus that is taking us to the hotel, we had to drop our shit off and now we got back on the bus that's taking us to the arena.

I pull out my phone to text Emily because I'm missing her a lot right now. Come to see she had already texted me.

Few hours later

Long story short. We lost. I walk off the field sighing in defeat as this season has officially ended. A few tears may have shed I'm not gonna lie. We gather into a team huddle and Ava starts speaking.

"Guys I really love this team and every single one of you. We all worked so hard and we may have not gotten the outcome we wanted but we should be proud we made it this far. I'm so proud of each and every one of you for the dedication you have put into this team and thank you for making my last year as a Penn State soccer player one that I will never forget. I love you all." She said and we all hug each other.

"How ya feeling." Tara says to me. "I could've played better." I say. "JJ this is your first game back, you did the best you could don't beat yourself up." "Yeah I guess."

"I'm gonna miss being your little." I give her a hug. "You get to be a big next year! That's exciting." She says. "Yeah I guess. But they're no Tara Lewis." I say. "You're right." She smiles.

"Jareau!" Coach calls me over. "Yes coach." I say. "Good work out there. I know I push you a lot. Maybe too hard sometimes. But you are without a doubt our best player and I know that you have much more potential than you think you do. You're already known in the soccer community and if you keep it up you can really create a name for yourself." She says. "Thanks coach." I smile.

Wow that's the first nice thing she's said to me since I won nationals last year.
