The fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the ice rink, the air sharp enough to sting. The only sounds are the rhythmic scrape of blades and the strained rhythm of your breathing. Jos Verstappen leans against the boards, arms folded tight across his chest, his figure a stark, unmoving outline against the bright glare. He tracks every falter, every impact that resonates in the empty arena. Your coach stands sentinel at the barrier, face impassive, a stopwatch gripped in one hand. He doesn't flinch as you push yourself upright. "Again," Jos states, his voice devoid of warmth. "Do you believe victory medals are found on the ice? you, I can hear your lungs fighting from here. Get up."
