I'M THE REASON YOUR COACH IS MAKING YOU WORK SO HARD
My Grandson's traveling tee-shirt
It brought back memories
Days of shooting threes
When threes were two's
My friend was much like I
We did not want to go home
As long as the gym was open we were there
He wasn't tall but loved basketball
We would shot long distance every day
We played a challenge game closed our eyes
He went on and played for the university
In a carear he averaged 14 points
Major college ball
Another boy came to play
Bad home life didn't want to go home
When the U won championship he was MVP
I moved to a new school
Found boys gymrats like me
One boy could hit a ball a mile
He played for the Chicago cubs
Ron Santo was near Hall of Fame
I had a pitching contract with Pirates
One day I could not lift my shoulder
It was before Tommy Johns surgery
Top three basketball recruits in my college
But more injuries sadly
But this is not about me
It is about those boys who
Make your coach make you work so hard
Boys who just don't stop playing the game
