First Step on the Field

My knees unlocked with a clean, sharp flex! No more standing frozen in place. I shifted my weight forward onto the balls of my feet, feeling the solid wood grain beneath my soles. Right in front of me, a thick black cable curved across the floorboards like an agility drill line. Perfect warm-up! I tapped the edge of the cord with the toe of my shoe to check its weight, then took a crisp, balanced hop right over it. I can move, I can react, and I am completely ready for action!
