Coach
“Coach I want to play soccer”
No you’re playing golf
The scholarships will give you a better shot
“Okay”

I tell my mother
“I want to play soccer”
No, you should play golf
The scholarships will give you a better shot
“Okay”

So I go to practice with my coach
Keep your arm straight
Follow to your target
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
WHACK
No, no. no.
Do this, do that

He shoves this information down my throat
Like a handful pills
“Now Dad”
“What’s the next drill?”
