The athlete within sore
Multiple injuries over time
Still wants to be in the game
On the sidelines looking in
Recover get back into it
Tapping deep within
Missing the sport
Coached to pass the knowledge
A fan that prefers to do over watch
So much has evolved with time
Aging been away on the mind
Crazy for another round
Body does not heal right away
Learned to work smarter not harder
Physically demanding to meet the standards
Joint pain feel the pressure
Muscles tender lower back pain
The athlete within feels aged
Hair with a blend of white
Older with experience against energized youth
