The teens count their fingers in earnest, counting out the hours that they’ve practiced each day. They have some complaints as to their life with no vacation, but it is all for the championship. They don’t need to be too serious about school, just focus on practicing their game. They neglect all their summer homework. After all they can just become coaches if they don’t become national champions. If not that, then there is always framing houses.
