What If Wells Were Captain of the Golden Army
Coach called it a leadership exercise.
Captain Brody called it “character development.”
Trey called it “the beginning of the end.”
Alton asked whether the gold latex had been issued by command or personally approved by Wells’ ego.
Wells did not ask questions.
Wells heard the word captaincy and arrived ten minutes early in a full metallic gold captain suit, gold-and-black trainers, whistle around his neck, and clipboard already loaded with what he described as “vision.”
Coach stared at him.
Captain Brody stared at him.
Wells stared back with the calm confidence of a man who had absolutely misunderstood the assignment and somehow upgraded it.
“Temporary authority,” Coach said.
Wells nodded. “Historic responsibility.”
“Practice scenario,” Captain Brody corrected.
“Legacy moment,” Wells replied.
That was when Coach assigned him the locker room speech.
To everyone’s surprise, Wells did not joke first. He stood in front of the team, gold shining under the warm locker room lights, and spoke with real force.
Execute.
Support.
Finish.
Dominate.
Every word landed.
The bros leaned in. The room tightened. Even Trey stopped smirking.
Then Wells added, “And no man leaves this locker room without looking like he believes in himself.”
There it was.
Still Wells.
But it worked.
Out in the Golden Stadium, beneath the scoreboard, Wells stood for the final evaluation: clipboard in hand, whistle at his chest, floodlights behind him. Captain Brody watched from the sideline, arms folded, expression unreadable.
Coach asked, “Assessment?”
Captain Brody took a long look at Wells.
“Dangerous amount of confidence,” he said.
Coach nodded.
“Useful,” Captain Brody added.
Wells grinned so hard the scoreboard should have deducted points.
The drill ended there, officially.
Unofficially, the team remembered it for weeks.
Because for one night, Wells did not just wear the captain’s gold.
He made everyone stand a little taller inside it.
Leadership is not always assigned. Sometimes it arrives ten minutes early, dressed in gold, carrying a clipboard full of vision, and somehow makes the whole team stand taller. Train with confidence, support your brothers, finish strong, and let the Gold build the captain inside you. Join the Golden Army. Contact: @alton-gold77, @polo-drone-125
