A Persistent Coach

To run a good race
in this marathon of life,
we’re trained and coached
to reach a new height

In our measure of success
we drive for performance,
pushing athletes to the edge
burning all their resources

Trading tired team players
for the quick and the nimble,
disposing of the beaten
as a failure and symbol

But true team building is not
just selecting who's hot,
but in training weak souls
to reach higher goals

So which coach will remain
through the thick and thin,
stay for the full distance
to achieve a great win
