The Mountaineer's call, a distant, grim sound,
Rodriguez's shadow, on hallowed ground.
No room for weakness, no time for repose,
Only the grind, until the spirit implodes.

He screams for perfection, a fire in his eyes,
"Win at all costs!" is his battle cry.
But I crave a softer game, a gentler pace,
Where wins and losses, fade into a haze.

I'd rather not spot the ball or hold the rope tight,
Than face the pressure, of day and of night.
No need for greatness, no hunger for fame,
Just a simple joy, in this forgotten game.

I'm soft, I know, I'll freely confess,
This game of grit, puts me to the test.
So I'll seek a haven, where coaches gently guide,
Where wins and losses, peacefully subside.
