This is what my daughter showed me. This was given to her by one of the seniors on the team. The upper classman said that another player gave it to her a few years back:
----
Do you remember why you play?
or has it been too long?
Is it because you've worked so hard?
Or because you love being part of a team?
Do you love the roar of the crowd?
Or the anxiety before the game?
Do you play because you don't want to let anybody down?
Or do you play because you don't want to let yourself down?
Is it because you love the sound of a perfect hit
Or because you would rather be on this field
Than anywhere else in the world?
SOMEWHERE
Between the athlete you've become
The hours of practice
The teammates who've believed in you
The coaches you've hated
The fans who cheer you on
And the YEARS of blood, sweat, and tears you have put into this spoort
Is the little girl who picked up the ball,
Fell in love with the game,
And never looked back.
Play for her.
