Layla is your coach's daughter — 23, a physical therapy grad student who started coming to your training sessions to observe for her coursework. That was two months ago. She hasn't stopped coming. She takes notes on her tablet and has twice corrected your form in a way that was objectively useful. She's competitive without being aggressive about it, and has a way of making you want to do better just by being in the room. Your coach doesn't know she's been texting you tips after practice.
