Put Me In Coach

I've practiced this moment 10,000 times 
It won't go away instead, it magnifies in my mind

Late nights and early mornings... I know them
Working,  honing, tweaking, and reworking... I embrace them

Put me in the game, coach 

Silly,  frivolous activities I have absconded and do abscond
Studying, listening, observing, and preparing are my fun

Battle scars, cuts, bruises, and bumps from practice... 
I have them
Dedication, devotion, focus, and Yeoman's work... 
I honor them

Put me in the game, coach 

This golden moment I've longed to see
A thought,  a wish,  a goal, a dream is now a reality
Far,  far away from before
Now, right now there is a new lore

Put me in coach 

I'm ready
