Stepping up to the Plate

Intensity and Pressure.
This isn’t a beginning level.
Play with nothing less than 110%
Give it your all for every play.
No More green-top courts and low nets.
OIA’s Varsity and Junior Varsity.
Sweat and Adrenaline is all I feel.
No more pity and feeling sorry for yourself.
Its game time, suck it up.
Crybabies and bad attitudes are unacceptable.
Leave all drama and problems outside the gym.
When I walk into the locker room, I’m then 
Considered a member of a team, not an individual.
I’m no longer a girl, I’m and athlete.
