The captain of the ship / day
If I get to my memory in my memory, I remember sports coaches as quite peaceful, mature uncles, who are careful and philosophically following the team’s work on the pitch. Now much is different. Often coaches do not even sit on the bench during the game. At best, they stand, but more often run, jump, speak, scream, gesture, showcases mimic. Over time, I have concluded that one of the most emotional is usually basketball coaches. Perhaps because they are very close to the field and feel like the players in the game.

Meanwhile, the pitch was even afraid to look towards the coach so as not to lose consciousness. However, it was not possible to avoid fate in a minute break.
