UNPRO­TEC­TED

You are nervous.
You know it’s going to hurt.
That much is cer­tain. 
You feel naked, you almost are.

They will be watch­ing you closely:
Your coaches, your friends
and a lot of strangers.
They all expect you to give it your all.

You want to win, badly.
There is no turn­ing back.
Only your will counts and your strength.
You block everything out. 
And then you’re in the tun­nel.
