checked before you even think of stepping onto it. I expect to see your
warm-ups and cool-downs without having to breathe down your necks and I
expect you to make use to the facilities and the assistance offered. It would be a shame to let it go to waste and I do expect to see results in the upcoming tournament.” He paused, checking the reactions and nodding. “Now

A resounding cheer meet his ears.
He almost smiled.
