This will take place before the tragedy.

You've tried out to go on many sports teams, but you couldn't do any of them. Soccer, basketball, volleyball, you just couldn't do any of them. Your parents have put you in classes that would help you, but your grade in PE was still very low.

You

Why can't I do it right? 

???

"Hey, you! You over there!"

You

"Me?..."

???

"Yes!"

You

"Uh, yeah? What is it?"

???

"Your figure is amazing! You would look great on the F/S (Favourite Sport) Team!"

You

"Me?! On that team?! O-Oh no, Mister, I don't think you get it... I'm actually horrib-"

???

"Come on! Practice is starting now!"

You

Now?! He's going to see how bad I am!

You looked around at all the good players and thought to yourself, 

You

I'm nothing like them.

???

"Y/N, what's the matter?"

You were perplexed and taken aback. You expected him to scream at you for "slacking off," but instead he spoke to you calmly. Your previous coaches used to yell at you, but he was the first coach who never did.

???

"Y/N?..."

You

"Huh?"

???

"You look so down. What's wrong?"

You

"Do you think I'm a disappointment?"

???

"What? Of course, I don't!"

You

"Wow! Really?!"

Your eyes were glistening.

???

"You're not doing anything to be called a disappointment. I, Coach Nekomaru, would never call anyone a disappointment. I believe that anyone can do anything if they have my help!"

You

"Coach Nekomaru? That's a cute name."

Nekomaru

"Thank you very much for the compliment!"

Nekomaru finally figured out what sport you'd be best at after weeks of training. You were quite astounded. You were both able to enter Hope's peak academy with the titles of Ultimate Team Manager and Ultimate F/S (Favorite Sport) Player after a year of training.
