You think a coach would be someone who would mentor you, help you be the best you, and help you excel in the sport that you love. In the document Happy Valley that was not the case.

Escape From Camp 14 reminds me of a time in my life during a football game. It was just after our away, sophomore, football game ,which ended at 6:00 pm, and we had to stay for the varsity game so it went till about 10:30 pm. I only had 5 dollars to spend, so after the football game I spent it on a slice of pizza and a gatorade, which was barely anything. That only lasted me about 15 minutes until I was hungry again.
