Alex Cruz sat in his Jeep outside of a two story cabin in upstate Ny trying to convince a 3 time all around olympic gymnast to come out of retirement and co coach the Rock with Sasha Belov. He knew it was a long shot but if Steve Tanner could get Sasha he at least had to try. Alex got out of his car and walked up to the door only to be greeted by the sound of thumps and classical music coming from the back of the house.
"Excuse me, Ms Olynsky, its Alex Cruz, I'm sorry to bother you but I left messages." Alex said as he watched Danielle leap off the balance beam gracefully.
"I'm sorry Mr Cruz that you wasted your time but I have no interest in coaching." Danielle said dusting off her hands and grabbing a wet cloth
"Look I'm sorry but someone as talented as you has so much to offer these young girls, I feel you can really inspire them." Alex persuaded
"Thank you Mr Cruz but if you're looking for inspiration, I hear you're Gym's head coach is Sasha Belov he's just as inspirational." Danielle said wincing as that name slid from her lips a name she hasn't said in over 5 years
"Yes, thats true Coach Belov is a wonderful coach, but he doesn't know the sport from a woman's perspective, you can teach them things that Belov can't." Alex said
"I'm sorry, truly, its just been a while since I've been surrounded by gymnasts and to go back would be difficult." Dani sighed
"Are you sure its not just because of your history with Coach Belov." Alex pushed knowing full well the history between the two gymnasts
"No disrespect sir, but Sasha Belov doesn't prevent me from doing anything and I would appreciate it that if and I say if I consider your offer that my past with Coach Belov does not become gym gossip." Dani said slightly annoyed
"Of course" Alex said
