   All you need is one extra step, one step to victory but, you can’t do it alone, pass to your teammate whose open down the field. Just one extra step. One extra push.
  You all feel tired but, you must carry on cause you know that the winners push hard and take all and the give-ups go home.
  You are all under pressure trying to score,keep away from the defenders, go towards the goal.
  You tell your team to settle so no one can check
  You handle the ball by cradling it so it doesn't fall.
  You trust your teammates because they all have your back cause no one likes a slacker whose only pushing half.
  Now, you feel determined and use your speed, closer to the goal you get before you stop your feet.
  Your legs and feet are tired and sore but, you can't give up because you only need to push yourself one more.
  Dodge the defenders, cut in and out
  You might be sweating buckets but, with one extra step you team is no bore.
  Your intensity keeps everyone awake and no one snores.
  You might be huffing and puffing and feeling sick but, with a little luck you will be slick.
  Use your speed and take some shots, go around the defenders, beat the clock.
  Keep possession of the ball and shoot once more cause you only need one extra step to score.
                    Cause you only need one more step
                                   ………..Scored.

My coach has inspired me to write this because when I would go to shoot a goal I always needed to take one extra step  in order to get a goal and thats what he would say to me. I just thought about how basically everyone needs to push and take extra steps including me.
