The friend responds I bet you'll make it. You have really improved..
Kendall responds I don't know about that. There are some awesome players on the team and I may not be up to snuff..
The friend responds Just keep at it. Skylar is a great coach and she's been on the team since last year..
Kendall responds She's given me a lot of pointers, but I'm not as quick as she is..
