My eyes are big before the game starts

my body covered in hope

17 years of practice

my mind is focused

I have only one purpose

I visualize everything I want to do

my home the court

The crowd surrounding with their big eyes watching

attracted to the bright lights

my team behind me

Picturing in my mind as I realize the shot

Hoping the shot goes in
