i have often been told that i am too nice , that i let people walk all over me . i got out of the car and stood on the curb with my hands on my hips . you will not force me to do anything . i dropped my hands back to my lap , but his face stayed inches from mine . at the bottom of the stairs to the locker room and coachs office , i saw someone lying motionless . it is , to put it mildly , a staggering discovery .
