My Promise

I promise to never give up!
To never give in, and to not let my teammates give in.
When I’m gasping for a breath, I will push myself even harder
Even when it feels like I can’t move my legs anymore!
Promising to never quit
In the games
In practice
Or in life
When I get injured and feel like I can’t get up
I promise to get up!
When I hit this paper I promise to
Never point fingers at another team member
To give my all
And to never quit!
This is my promise to myself
A promise that I have to see how far I can go to keep the promise
I promise not to go easy
On myself
On my team mates
And not on the other team
I promise not to cheat myself on life
To make sure I don’t regret what I do
I promise to believe in myself
I also promise to have fun!
And to be happy for my team
That I will not do or say anything negative towards them or myself
This is my promise to my coach
This is my promise to the game of basketball
