Best you can  be
What the Coach tries to be
Urges you to copy

Sheds light in the dark
If it merges with the dark
Holds hands guiding
Other end of the tunnel
Darkness left behind
Light at the end
Signals start
To display the Skill
And the power of Will

By the will of God
Did someone Coach God
Not a far off thought

Mental conditioning after
Physical fitness above the two
Complete responsibility on the Coach to do

Preasure becomes Privilege
Aim becomes Trophy
Glory becomes basking in

Rallying behind his front porch
Sidelines his garden of Eden

Human in Life
A Coach does all
But does not tell
