The scene opens up backstage after the hard fought battle our hero was in. We see Davis Starfire sitting back in the locker room removing his boots and in walks Beard Sampson. Beard goes to speak.
Beard: Winning isn't always everything, Champ. There is always next time. You got people invested in you and that is a positive.
Davis throws his boots aside and goes to speak.
Davis: I just didn't wanna disappoint you. It was a lot harder of a battle than I thought it was gonna be. I'm sore from this.
Beard: Well, You haven't really done this in a decade. You didn't disappoint me. You gave a hard fought match even if you lost. There is still room for improvement. We can hit the gym later on and study this. I saw a man out there who didn't look out of place.
Davis takes a swig from his water bottle and goes to speak.
Davis: I appreciate that. He was tough and I know its only gonna get tougher. I just gotta practice harder and get myself back to the person I was when I started out.
Beard: That is the spirit right there, Champ. There is a reason why you were the 4th ranked amateur wrestler in High School. You didn't just get there. You worked hard and even though, It didn't pan out in college. That doesn't matter. You did it on your own skills and merit. Some people peak and do nothing with their lives.
Beard pauses for a minute and goes to speak again as Davis continues changing out of his wrestling gear.
Beard: You are fighting against the odds even now. Most people would tell you that its too late to do this. But, I still see potential in you. You just gotta bounce back and keep moving forward. Just keep doing what you are doing. The wins will eventually come.
Davis: You are absolutely right. A loss is only temporary. Thanks, Beard.
The scene fades to black as they continue talking.
