The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 59

TIMOTHY POV

Timothy stepped out of the meeting room, his mind still swirling with thoughts. about the changes the new club leader was implementing. The meeting had been intense. He knew he had to work even harder than ever to prove himself this time around.

The new club leader had announced some significant alterations to the team’s strategies and playing style. One of the changes involved giving Timothy more playtime, which should have been a reason to celebrate. However, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease about the direction the team was taking.

As he made his way through the bustling corridors of the club’s headquarters, he tried to process all the information that had been thrown at him. He had to play catch up to get the same level of notoriety with the new team, and it felt like a daunting challenge.

The pressure to perform weighed heavily on his shoulders. He had always been a standout player in the previous club, but now he had to prove himself all over again. It was as if he was starting from scratch, and the thought filled him with anxiety.

Still, he had to adapt to the new strategies and gel with the other players quickly. In this case, it would serve him well to make new allies rather than just casual drinking friends.

As he walked, he couldn’t help but think about his old team and how much he had grown attached to them. They had been like a family at times and leaving them behind had been bittersweet. Their silence during the trial had been deafening, however, and Timothy couldn’t help but feel empty.

Later on, Timothy threw himself into one of his intense training sessions. He knew that he had to prove his worth on the field, and that meant giving his all in every practice and match. He welcomed the opportunity to improve his skills and become a more versatile player.

There was no room for mistakes this time. No room for doubt, especially with him. being heavily scrutinized under the public eye at that point. Having dedicated fans. did not translate to having dedicated teammates and coaches.
