Walk-On

Synopsis

A walk-on is a body. Everybody involved understands this, including the walk-on. You are there so the starters have somebody to hit, and the locker they give you is at the end of the row nearest the door, because you are not expected to need it long. Danny Kovic has had that locker for two years. He made the travel roster once, for a game that was over by the third quarter, and he did not get in. In the third week of his junior year the two men ahead of him go down inside the same eleven minutes.

Who this is about

Danny Kovic walked on at nineteen and was given the locker nearest the door, which everybody involved understood to be a courtesy rather than an opportunity.

What goes wrong

In the third week of his junior year the two men ahead of him go down inside the same eleven minutes.

What's at stake

He has waited two years for four minutes, and four minutes is all anybody is offering.

Why it keeps going

Each episode is one more week he is still on the roster, and one more person who had assumed he would have quit by now.

Takeaway

Most people are not beaten. They are simply somewhere else by the time the chance arrives.
