				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0f/Beck.jpg)</div><strong>Character name : Declan Beck</strong> link (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=212508.msg10443006#msg10443006)<br><strong>Occuption : </strong> Coach<br><strong>Who : </strong> , Natasha McCallum, Kumiko Sakamoto, Jessica 'Jessie' Booth, Aurora Valdez, Kamryn Phoenix, Natasha Price<br><strong>Where : </strong> In the gym<br><strong>When : </strong> Day 1 (Monday), Early Morning<br><hr><br>Declan Beck, former student at the University of Miami and former player of their Miami Hurricanes, couldn't believe where he was.&nbsp; The Florida International University, also known as FIU, along with their college football team, the Golden Panthers, was the crosstown rival of Beck's alma mater.&nbsp; <br><br>It was about eight years ago that Declan was involved in the bench-clearing brawl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIU%E2%80%93Miami_football_brawl) between the two schools, and he never thought he'd be back in FIU facilities, much less working in them.<br><br>Nervous wasn't the word to describe how he felt.&nbsp; Neither was anxious.&nbsp; More like excited.&nbsp; He didn't sleep much the previous night at his apartment, instead going through the roster of both players and coaches.<br><br>There was Natasha McCallum, who didn't even play football, at least not the grid-iron kind.&nbsp; She was athletic but not nearly of professional calibber, but she was stunningly attractive - her body was slamming and her was face gorgeous - and he thought it would be a shame to damage either, but she seemed driven enough to do something besides cover local sports.<br><br>Then there was Kumiko Sakamoto, who was also good looking, but not a model like Natasha had once been.&nbsp; She did have a decent following on the internet, and that could prove to be an asset when it came to gaining the team some popularity.&nbsp; With her background in judo and rugy, she had some speed and toughness, and could prove to be a capable tackler and maybe even a running back.<br><br>Jessica 'Jessie' Booth excelled at surfing and swimming, but this was a sport on the ground, not in the water.&nbsp; Beck didn't see much hope for her making the team, but maybe her balance on a surfboard would translate into her being able to stay on her feet.<br><br>Aurora Valdez seemed to have the most athletic ability of the bunch.&nbsp; She played basketball at the college level and even had a scholarship for it.&nbsp; She could have gone pro if not for family issues.&nbsp; Beck thought of her as a possible wide receiver and defensive back, using her jumping ability to pick passes out of the air.<br><br>Kamryn Phoenix had plenty of what the team would need - toughness.&nbsp; Between wrestling against boys growing up and making the news by taking down a man and knocking him out, Beck saw her playing both ways on the line.<br><br>As if to make things confusing, there was another Natasha, Natasha Price, who unfortunately was no longer a player.&nbsp; Like Beck, injury relegated her to the sideline and prevented her from getting on the field.&nbsp; Hopefully she could drop some knowledge on the players and help the rest of the staff get the best of out of them.&nbsp; His buddies at her last team had high praise of her, but Beck had to see it to believe it.&nbsp; Beck never had to coach women before, so maybe she could help him do that.<br><br>Around that time, Beck dozed off and woke up before his alarm went off.&nbsp; Now he was at the gym of the training facilities, getting a workout in.&nbsp; His phone alert him of a text message.<br><br><em>"Please be early for our pre meeting before our first team meeting. Plans have changed. Full details will be revealed in person. Be ready."</em><br><br>Beck talked to himself.<br><br><strong>"Way ahead of you, Arthur.&nbsp; Already here."</strong><br><br>Beck finished his workout and got in the shower to start getting ready for the meeting.<br>
