Months of deliberation

Anticipation


Practice-practice-practice
All down to one shot

One game


One race
A split second can change everything

A hit


A choke



A slip
And everything is gone

Will you be ready?
When the hours of practice

Training


Pressure



Stress
Seem wasted and worthless

Will you be ready?
When it comes time to ask yourself

'Is it worth it?'

Will you be ready?
Will you fight to prove them wrong?

The judges


Your opponent



The clock




Yourself
-OR-
Will you fade into the organized chaos of everyday life?

Day in


Day out



Not caring




Not feeling
It's all up to you

Which fate do you choose?
