89 Berk didn’t worry about what he was about to say.
90 He decided direct honesty was the only way.
91 “Look, you make better saves than I do,” Berk said.
“But you’re not a better goalkeeper than me.”
92 “So you did come over to gloat,” Ryan shot back.
93 “Just listen,” Berk replied. “If we put our skills together,
we’d have an awesome goalkeeper. So that’s what we
need to do.”
94 “Huh?” Ryan said. “What are you saying? Are you nuts?”
95 “We need to combine our skills into one keeper,” Berk
said. “I’ll never be able to make some of the amazing saves
you make, because you’re a better athlete than I’ll ever be.
But you can learn how to play goalkeeper as well as I do.”
96 It was all becoming clear to Ryan. “So, you’re going to
help me with the fundamentals?” he said.
97 “Exactly,” Berk said.
98 Throughout that weekend, Berk and Peter drilled Ryan on
the fundamentals.
99 It wasn’t easy, but Ryan was starting to get it.
100 At the next practice, Berk and Ryan approached Coach
Davis together.
101 They presented their idea, and told the coach what they
had already done.
102 Coach Davis seemed pleased.
103 “I’m not sure if this will work,” he said. “But I’m proud
of you boys for working together to solve this problem.
Let’s do it!”
