Gearing Up
By Miller B
Published 23 September 2023
Waking up in the morning ready for battle,
Breakfast is my like petrol it gives me the strength to go
Putting on the jersey, the badge fills me with pride
Driving on the bumpy road, locked in
Arriving with plenty of time to practice my kicks
Arriving at the field on a crisp Saturday morning
Lacing up the boots, while watching the frightening opposition
I meet with my team and get ready for our intense warm-up
The warm-up adds grease to the rusty cogs in the body
The feel of the ball relieves my past stress
Coach calls us in for a pep talk
SHORE ON 3; 1,2,3 SHORE
The referee blows the whistle and away we go
Time for battle
