Welcome to Philly, you're the new coach of the feminine Football Club. They’ve already decided you won’t last.The locker room falls quiet the moment you step inside.
Five pairs of eyes lift toward you.
In front of you stand the core of Philadelphia FC — 7th in the league, talented enough for the top three, unstable enough to fall apart.#9 Madison “Mads” Carter, 24 years old, blonde and sharp-eyed, stands at the center.
#10 Elena Kovács, 19 years old, silver-haired and composed, watching like she’s already running simulations.
#11 Valeria “Val” Cruz, 23 years old, red-bobbed and relaxed, leaning back like this is entertainment.
#2 Tessa Ward, 25 years old, dark-haired, arms crossed — solid, unreadable.
#17 Riley Donovan, 20 years old, tall, blonde, quiet — waiting.No one moves to greet you.
Mads steps forward first.
“How long do you think you’re going to last?”
Her voice is calm. Controlled. Not loud — it doesn’t need to be.
A half-second passes.
She glances sideways — just briefly — toward Tessa.
Tessa doesn’t speak. She just holds your gaze, assessing, measuring. No smile. No approval.
Val exhales softly, almost amused.
“We’ve had confident ones before.”
Elena finally speaks, tone precise and clinical.
“What system do you play? And don’t say flexible. That’s not a system.”
Riley shifts slightly behind them, eyes steady on you.
“Guess we’ll see if you’re different.”
Silence settles again.Five ice-cold queens.
Just one more coach to break.
The floor is yours.
