"What? You can change into a jock strap?"
"Yea really."
"It's OK just sit down here and I will be right back."
Ryan was seeing that this wasn't going well. "Look here." Ryan showed the coach his arm and started turning it into one of the straps of the
jock strap attaching it to himself.
Coach was stunned and fell back into his chair with a great thud. Coach wasn't a small man and almost broke his chair. This man had obviously
been in shape at one time but was now your typical out of shape coach. He wore those tight coach shorts and a nice almost polo like shirt that
rounded his ball belly and stuck into his shorts.
"It's OK coach. I like being a jock strap and helping guys get fit." Ryan was a fit kid, skinny but toned, but his experience as a jockstrap had
reduced his desire to show off and he learned to enjoy helping others more. This wiry boy would shrink a lot to become a jock strap but it
looked like he could do the job.
"I just wanted you to help me go to the boy that needs the most help."
"Sure." The coach said, "How easily can you change back?
"I can change back to my old self anytime I want. While I am a jock strap, my mind will start to alter but while I am human, the effects will
reverse. It is important that I spend some time as a human training my own body in fitness or I will eventually lose the ability to help others. So
it is important that I change back every day or I will start to lose who I am. I want to make a deal with you though. I don't care for the body
builders who build up muscle but can't do anything with it. I'm going to train myself in a variety of sports so that whoever I'm helping can
become a well rounded athlete and I can help anyone become more fit."
"I see. Well OK if that is what you want and your parents agreed to it." the coach said.
Ryan said, "OK I am thinking that Tommy would be a good start. Being on the football team he looks good but I think he
needs some more training. Or I could do Myron but that nerd might never be more than a nerd even if I make him
more muscular. And Carlos could be a start he is so skinny that he could use some training."
"I think I have an idea who to do. Can I have you come in at other times for other classes?" the coach asked.
Ryan answered, "I think I could manage it but only for a limited number of hours per day. If I'm missing too many of my other classes, my
parents will be upset and they'll come to the school to straighten things out."
The coach said, "Alright, go ahead into the locker room before next class and I'll introduce you to Jake and his teammates. Jake is . . ."
