American winner takes all

Chapter 45
"The management of various sports in the school, including the hiring of coaches, daily expenses, sponsorship revenue, and the management and maintenance of stadium facilities, are all the responsibility of the sports director. I have no right to interfere." John shook his head with a wry smile. Although he is a temporary sports director, Director, he doesn't plan to get involved too much. It's enough to keep Ethan. As long as he doesn't do the rest, he won't make any mistakes.

Ethan only knew that this school belonged to a private education group, and he knew very little about the school's senior management.

"As for the bonus mentioned just now, it was also given in the name of the school, and Coach Thomas was indeed recommended by me. We have worked together for a while, but in terms of the contract, it was the sports director who came forward to negotiate with him on behalf of the school." He added explained.

No wonder I said I was visiting in private at the beginning.It turns out that Thomas' "bonus" was still due to this sports director.

"Where is the sports director?" Ethan asked.

"He...has other matters involved during this period." The principal could only explain it this way.

No matter whether he is transferred, fired, or safe in the future, John will not take it to heart.

Is it possible that you really want to talk to Lisa about this?
The game outside here has also ended, and the coaching staff and players have returned to the locker room. Seeing that the principal and the cheerleading coach are still here, everyone becomes a little cautious.

However, Thomas was a little nervous and seemed to be dodging. Now the faces of the coaching staff were all stained. If John asked more about this, what happened last night would be leaked. This is against school regulations. Obviously Will be fined.

The more he dodges, the more guilty and suspicious he looks. Principal John immediately walks over, but Grace, who is still next to Ethan at this time, suddenly speaks:
"If you want to hold a charity sale in school, this requires a lot of approval procedures. But if you really want to do it, there is nothing you can do, provided..." Grace said with a sly smile.

This is the third time she has invited herself, and she has chased her all the way to the locker room.Ethan felt the need to make this matter clear: "Even if I promise you, I can't devote myself fully to the cheerleading team. There are too many football games, and I can't be divided into two halves."

The core of the cheerleading team is still the group of girls, and I am just the icing on the cake.

"Hey, okay." Grace sighed and shook her head. She went to him in person several times but failed to impress him, so she was more or less ready to give up.

"However, if there is a need, I can help you recommend a few suitable candidates. Those are all girls with great potential." Considering that she is the principal's daughter, Ethan continued.

"That's not necessary, you should just be busy with your rugby. As for the charity sale, I can still help you fight for it. That's all I can do." Although Ethan rejected her, Grace was still ready to help he.

For no other reason, she felt that Ethan had a kind heart and good people should be rewarded.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Ethan nodded, feeling a bit of warmth from Grace.

On the other side, facing repeated inquiries from the principal, Coach Thomas seemed extremely embarrassed. Finally, Ethan stepped in to help Coach Thomas. He said that the reason why the coaching staff was embarrassed was because they occupied someone else's space during a temporary extra practice last night. There was a conflict between the two sides, and the coaching staff stepped forward to protect the players, but they suffered a loss because of their lack of strength.

In addition, Ethan frequently winked at his teammates, and someone immediately came forward to testify, confirming this matter with every word he said.

"Thomas, I haven't seen you for a while. You are really new. This is not like your previous behavior." When John heard what happened, he thought Thomas had suffered a loss and felt embarrassed and didn't want to tell the truth.

"BHHS finally found a player with great talent. It's time to work harder." Thomas said with a smile.

After the principal and Grace left, the coaches finally took a breath. Ethan was a big help this time.

"I'm treating you tonight. Let's go have a drink?" Thomas suggested.

Facing a loser like Burbank, he must have invested in Murphy. Although the proportion was very low, he still made some money.

"Let's think about how to deal with the defending champion in the next game first." Ethan shook his head.

He had already let it slip beforehand, he absolutely did not want to lose, and he was going to let Thomas study his opponent carefully during these few days.

"You don't really want to win, do you?" Thomas muttered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that one data can illustrate the problem.

The Santa Ana Saints, which has the same name as the New Orleans NFL team, had four players selected to the West Coast squad for the National High School Football All-Star Game last year.In the CIF Southern Division competition in the past ten years, the Saints have won the first place eight times, and the last time they lost was five years ago.

On the other hand, the Normans' best result in the CIF division playoffs in the past decade was a second-round appearance.

Take the head to win?
"You don't have to believe in yourself, but you have to believe in me." Ethan suddenly said.

Looking at Ethan with a solemn look on his face, Thomas smiled, with a bit of relief in his smile.

Yes, young people are reckless, impulsive, and naive.But there is one thing that is stronger than older people, and that is the courage and vigor to face life.

On Ethan's face, Thomas vaguely saw the shadow of himself back then.

Who wasn’t high-spirited back then?Although that was nearly 30 years ago, Thomas can vaguely find the feeling of that year now.

Familiar feeling.

In this case, let’s go crazy again!
Thomas's eyes, which were originally cloudy due to hangover, became rare and clear.

"Fight to the end with them!"

"Fight to the end!" Ethan threw the drink bottle to the ground.

"Fight to the end!" The team members all beat their chests and stamped their feet!

Outside the locker room, several Burbank High School staff couldn't help but look around.

Although the door was closed, a faint roar could be heard coming from inside.

That was the courage of a group of young people that could shake mountains.

·
"Dad, Ethan needs money now, why don't you agree to his proposal?" Grace, who was driving the car, couldn't help but ask.

John, who was in the passenger seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Dad?" Grace called again.

John scratched his ears helplessly: "This is a business matter, not a child's play house. If it fails, it will affect Ethan's competitive state. And if it succeeds, should we continue next time? If we really have money The school will not stand idly by and take back the power in the end. No matter what, it will affect the child."

Having worked in a private education group for so many years, he is very familiar with the atmosphere here. After all, it is still a business.

"If you don't agree, I'll tell my mother about your secret purchase of Fenwick fishing rods, a complete set of equipment, and a small boat to go fishing on Castic Lake." Grace unleashed her trump card.

John immediately opened his eyes and looked at his daughter.

What do you mean?Grace.

"So what if I tell her? A man must have some hobbies!"

John said that you don’t want to threaten me, but his tone was a little bit forceful but mean-spirited...
