Had one (1) brief interaction with some kids playing basketball in my local park and 3hrs later I've run through the full Coach Carter (2000)/Take the Lead (2006) scenario where I reluctantly take a rag tag group of kids under my wing and teach them Sports ™ but also the Power of Friendship and give them a safe space to talk about mental health and lgbt things and how to set healthy boundaries and maybe I even learn that it's ok to love again and my crippling depression lifts because I finally have a Purpose
Maybe I even put one of those letterbox libraries out the front of my house so they have access to fun books and develop a lifelong love of literature
Briefly? A basketball coach? It's more likely than you think.
