If it was all about Me

I would be so proud of all I've done
Say "Look at me and how fast I run!"
I'd show the world I'm strong and free
If it was all about me.

I would always swing for the fence.
shake off pain without a wince.
Work hard for what my stats should be
If it was all about me

I'd say, "I had a fantastic game!"
and, "I wish my teammates could say the same."
I would love standing out for all to see
If it was all about me

But, being my best and giving my heart
to help my TEAM stand apart
Lifting my TEAM higher than the trees
is what I choose my role to be

I compete and train to reach OUR goal
Pushing each other to fulfill our roles
"Join me, join me!" is my plea
that's what I choose my role to be

Preparing together to make the TEAM great
With everyone's eyes focused on STATE.
Working together I'm sure you'll agree
Is better than making it all about me.

I really like what this poem is says about playing together and making the TEAM stonger and not just yourself. I think that alot of players want to try and benefit just themselves, not the team, because they think it will take them further in thier career. More coachs would want someone that is a team player and just a " its all about me" kind of person.
