DEFEAT
The atmosphere is the dressing room of
a defeat3d football team is like that
inpide a coffin. The players plod in
with heads down as though they have lost
life itself. The clatter of their cleats
reminds one of a death march. The sound
of helmet3 dropping to the floor resem
bles the coffin dropping to its final
resting place in the cold earth. The
players* silence is so great that it can
almost be heard. As the players flop in
to their chairs to undress, it sounds as
if a corpse has fallen to the ground.
Yes, the dressing room of a defeated
football team is truly like a huge cof
fin in wbioh all the players are buried
together- But when they f’ress, they must
resolve t:) try harder next time in hopes
that victory will be theirs. Defeat
teaches a person humility and the basis
of greatness is this.
VICTORY
The feelings of a victorious football
team arc like a mountain looking over
the com, Irysidec The feelings of joy are
so tremendous inside them that is
tearing away at their insides resulting
in an explosion* Each player is dancing
the dew of the early morning. The clat
ter-of the cleats sounds as of someone
dropping to the floor remind one of beat
ing drums. The players march in the
dressing room a3 Caesar’s army marched
into Rome after a conquest» The players
do not flop into their scats this time
but bounce around like playful puppies.
Howeverj the elation of victory cannot
take the place of hard preparation for
the next battle.
