Competition begins in preparing

by JLR

Competition is good for the soul!

To prepare, condition, to be able to
compete, make a stand, hold your ground.

To compete is to set your mind on the prize!

Then put into action every effort; let every muscle
be tuned to its peak.

The eye on the prize has so many facets!

The trust, the respect, the long hours of training,
coaches' glare, the competitors' stare.

Winning comes from preparing, bearing witness that to compete you must leave every ounce of the very best you bring on the field to the last second, of the last play, every game!

Free verse on my thoughts about competition.

My coach's words burnished in my mind: To do work on the field and off the field. Do your job, trust the man on the left and the man on the right to do his job, these are the tools required for competition. Otherwise, you are just a stat, a run-over.
