[bodytext] => I’m standing outside Watching my team play Sure I coach now But it wasn’t always that way I used to be out there Driving to the basket, one on one Counting down the minutes Until practice was done But here I am standing After a broken ankle And four screws in my knee I only should have predicted That a basketball career was over for me As I stand here yelling Whistle in hand Now I've traded places I'm the one in command I watch them carry out drills They drop a pass, I make them run Now, don’t get to tired Practice has only begun But the damage is done, I start to think back To long afternoons, And time spent on the track Then there's only one word that Then comes to mind Suicides The one thing I’m happy that I left behind Running on the court From line to line And even worse That running was timed Our Practice is flowing They hustle so everything is fine But then I see them get lazy So, everyone on the baseline That’s right here you go You guys are gunna run some more Yeah, I feel your pain Don’t forget I’ve done this before The coaches before me They demanded perfection I didn’t understand But now I’ve made the connection Striving for excellence It’s all you want for your team You have to push for the best And surpass even extreme Exceed all expectations You could go has far as insane But that’s what it takes If you want to master this game You better bring your all When you step on my court Cuz if you don’t have the heart I suggest you find a new sport It’s only worth it if you love it To fuel the passion within You have to deal with exhaustion But it’s worth it when you win. So yeah I can admit, standing here watching my team That coaching may never be the same But whether I’m a player or a coach Basketball will always be my game.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
