13 Ryan was running all over the field. At one point, he
charged a forward who had the ball in the corner. That left
the whole goal wide open, so the forward lofted a pass
toward Peter.

14 Peter met the pass in the penalty area. He controlled the
ball with his left foot, then blasted it with his right toward
the open net. But Ryan’s quickness allowed him to get back
to the net. He dove across to his right and deflected Peter’s

pass toward the right post.

15 Another forward pulled the rebound in on the right side
of the net.

16 Again Ryan charged, and the forward put the ball
out front.

17 This time Peter tried to redirect the ball toward the left
post. He didn’t aim it perfectly, and Ryan dove back on top
of the loose ball.

18 Berk’s heart sank. He knew that if the same play had
happened to him, neither of those shots would have
been taken.

19 He would have stopped the first pass, and the play would
have been over. But Ryan’s wild style allowed him to make

two spectacular-looking saves. Even Coach Davis was
clapping and yelling.

20 Neither team scored in the scrimmage. Afterward, Coach
Davis called Berk over to the sideline. “Berk,” he said. “I have
an idea.”

21 Idea? Berk wasn’t sure what to say.
22 Then the coach continued: “Have you ever thought about
playing another position?”

made it go in a different direction.
