Diamond Cup, coach.

Let's go, sweetie.

Thanks for coming out.

Keep working hard.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

wait, wait.

Sorry, th-that's it?

I've seen enough.

You barely

watched me.

Is that my fault?

My bike chain didn't break.

Uh.

That... That's not fair.

Life isn't fair.

Haven't you heard that sports

teaches life lessons?

Yeah, but I think you're

applying it wrong here.

I doubt it.

I've been Coach of the Year

three years running.

Okay, all I want is a chance

to play on your team.

Just... Just a chance.

I'm sorry.

I think that ship has sailed.

Ships sail at 13?

OZ:

In club soccer, they do.

If you were someone,

I would have known you by now.

My girls here who play club

have been playing for me

since they were

8, 9 years old.

Alex Morgan didn't

play club until she...

Yeah, Alex Morgan didn't play

club until she was 13.

Every girl who gets cut clings

to that story like a life vest.

But playing for Crush

is my dream.

Sometimes dreams die.

Life lesson number two.

JOE:
I can't thank you

enough for being here.

This is just an honor, coach.

Logan has worked so hard

for this moment.

Uh, football is his life.

I hear that you played some ball

yourself, Mr. Wills.

Yeah, until I got hurt

senior year of high school.

Uh, so, that was it.

Sometimes dreams die.

Ahem. But so close.

Anyways,

it's not about me anymore.

Go back, full scholarship?

Full scholarship.

JOE:
Wow. I mean, I just

wanna say thank you, coach.

Thank you. I-I'm gonna

keep saying thank you

until you get tired of me

saying thank you.

I've called everywhere.

And I know the deadline

to sign up for AYSO passed,

but I was wondering

if there's still a spot.

No. No, I... I understand.

Okay. Bye.

[SIGHS]

I guess ships

do sail at 13.

[SCOFFS]

Logan's right.

I'm talking to a poster.

[GRUNTING]

Why won't this come off?

[GRUNTING]

Come on!

[SQUEALS, GRUNTS]

ALEX:

Hello?

Reagan.

Are you all right?

Man, that was a bad fall.

Can you even hear me?

Are you okay?

[]

Reagan, are you all right?

[GASPS]

Wha...?

Mom! I need to go to

the doctor right now!

I hit my head really hard,

and now I'm seeing things!

- You're not seeing things.

- And now I'm hearing things!

It's okay.

You're just hallucinating.

You're not hallucinating.

I can prove it.

My name is Alex Morgan,

and my birthday is July 2nd.

My parents are Mike and Pam,

and my sisters...

That doesn't prove anything!

This-This could all

still be in my head.

I-I know everything about you.

I'm-I'm your biggest fan.
