Keep your body fit and well
Exercise and walk
Football tennis any sport
You have to walk the talk
Daily life needs energy
Make sure you get your sleep
And rest yourself for life’s demands
Or they will make you weep
And most of all look to your mind
Your heart your spirit deep
Keep those in trim look after them
Your whole self you must keep
Wise words I heard from Emma
And only eighteen years
‘It’s all mental at the end of the day’
And that’s what calms our fears
Be prepared to win or lose
Be prepared for strife
Be prepared within yourself
This will guide your life
Some things in life you can control
Others you cannot
Just play your game and do your best
Give it your best shot
All that running around the court
All those shot returns
Here and there and back and forth
Energy we burn
Our body responds to discipline
It will do what it is told
It’s the mind the heart the spirit
That proclaims that we are bold
