Elena would prepare her best bro speech (probably not but each "bro" counts towards the word count) that would go something like this: "Look, coach. Bro. It's a tough decision, "who am I gonna play in the last two minutes of this super close game" but you need me out there. I know I haven't been as good as I could've been, bro, but you know I bust my ass every single practice and put in the work. I'm due a goal any day now, bro. I think that day is today. You know I live for this team and I'm hungry for points so it shouldn't even be a question that I should be out there fam. I'm not asking you for a favour, I'm asking you for a chance to prove myself. To show you and the rest of my bros that I'm not as terrible as I've been this season. We can do this together, coach-bro. C'mon. Gimme ice time. C'mon. Gimme."

And he probably wouldn't play her and I wouldn't blame him.
