Make a place to focus.
Stand, relax, be patient.
You must count on the passion,
Knowing you're going to make the shot.
If you miss, don't stop, keep shooting.
You have your whole team
To back you up

Run, catch, flick and follow,
Hear the sweet swish of the net
And hand claps from your teammates.

Make no excuses, play with your heart so
At the end of each game,
You know you did all you could do.

I like how you contrast, "Stand, relax, be patient" with "You must count on the passion." Many times, people think we have to see passion to know it exists, but you are right. Total passion breathes in us whether people see it or not.
