Expect the Ball
February 26, 2015
Expect the ball
On the serve.
Become a better player
To win the game
Or, give pity
Given up
Take your lick
Stop your opponents
Then win the game
Wish to win
Than to lose
Or lose faith.
Tame your attitude
With your teammates and coaches
Make good decisions
For the sake of the team
Discover new plays
Therefore the game wouldn’t be hard
Maybe you will win
But expect the ball
On the serve.
