Julia (22 years old)

As Julia stepped into the dimly lit Budweiser Practice Rink, her heart raced with excitement. She wanted to try out for the national team, and she was more than ready to put in the hard work required to make it happen. The first one being to join a male team in third division, where she gets the experience of playing a lot more intense matches than with other women.

As she approached Coach Tom Anderson, he looked up from his clipboard, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in her appearance. "Julia Thompson," he said, extending his hand for a firm shake. "Welcome to our team."

"Thank you, Coach," Julia replied, returning the handshake with equal strength. "I'm looking forward to working with you and the rest of the team."

Coach Tom Anderson led Julia to a nearby bench, gesturing for her to sit down. "Before we get started, I want to go over some important rules and expectations for those who wish to join our team," he began, his voice stern yet reassuring. "First and foremost, we demand dedication, discipline, and commitment from all our players.

Training will be tough, so we need individuals who can push themselves beyond their limits," explained Coach Tom Anderson, his gaze steady and unwavering. Julia nodded in agreement, mentally preparing herself for the grueling journey ahead.

She then asked, "I heard something about 'nude training sessions' from the other players, what exactly did they mean? It was just a joke right?"

Tom smiled wryly, knowing full well what kind of impression it might leave on her. "After a loss, we enforce a rule requiring the team to undergo a nude practice session. It's meant to teach them humility and help build camaraderie within the group. It also serves as a reminder that as athletes, we are **** – both physically and emotionally. We need to support each other throughout our journey together," explained Coach Tom Anderson.
