Armani is getting better mentally

[WildfireMicro 426]

 Armani skated across the ice as he goes to attempt another practice slapshot. With the playoffs coming in hot for the Legion and what looks to be a very tight series against the Calgary Wranglers coming up, Armani wants to work his ass off for the Legion so they can make a big run to the cup. His new kind of practice that he's been doing has been paying off in a big way, and he has been improving his production in quite a big way.

 

 "Good shot Armani" the Toronto Legion coach says as Armani scores with his practice shot "You are slowly but surely getting back to your old self"

 

 "Thanks coach" Armani smiles "just doing my best for the team. I know that I was letting them down with how bad I was shooting before I changed things up ."

 

 "Ehh don't let that get you down, the title of "one of the worst shooters in the league" just meant that you needed to go by things in a different way. You came back from a hiatus, and I could tell that you just weren't really feeling it for the longest time. However, now you just seem to be playing like a new man."

 

 "Heh, thanks for the confidence boost. So let's set up another shot, I need more to truly feel it tonight" They went to go set up the practice goal again, with the Legion goalie watching Armani get yet another shot by him. The goalie flashed a thumbs up and then prepared for yet another shot that just barely gets past him again. "There now I am definitely feeling it! Let's go!" When practice us eventually ended by the coach, Armani went back into his car as he called his wife up

 

 "Hey Tiffany baby, how is little Ryan doing?"he asks her as she chuckles from the other line

 

 "He is doing wonderful honey" she giggles "he is keeping down all the food I give him, and he just seems extremely happy as of late. I tried to get him to walk to me and he tried his best, but he just doesn't seem ready yet"

 

 "Well don't force him to walk, he will get there eventually." Armani smiles "I will be home soon, just gonna get some dinner. What do you feel like eating?"

 

 "Hmmmm, well pizza does sound good" Tiffany smiles "maybe some meat lovers, I really feel like eating some protein"

 

 "Yeah I'll get me a supreme pizza. Like I said, I'll be home soon so I love you" Armani then calls up a pizza place amd puts in his order a few minutes before pulling up to it. As he waited on his pizza, a Legion fan nervously comes up to him holding a jersey with his name on it

 

 "Umm Armani can I get your autograph?" The young fan asks

 

 "Absolutely!" Armani smiles as he signs it with a marker he keeps with him "I better not see this on Ebay for at least a few years though, alright?" The kid nods "on this is one of my rookie jerseys, that's pretty cool"

 

 "Yeah it is! I actually got the jersey today from my uncle who got it a few years ago" The kid says as Armani hands him the jersey back "Umm Armani can you promise that the Legion will best the Wranglers?"

 

 "I can't promise anything. Nothing in life is guaranteed, that's what I learned recently. But I do promise to do my absolute best to win" Armani smiled as he rubbed the head of the young fan. For him, moments like these make it all worth it.
