I love the feeling of being a team member.

My Need for Competition

by HarryT

Bowling in a senior league, you might think of as relaxation Yes, it is fun, but my heart beats for the taste of victory Prior to each game, my veins throb with anticipation. My heart and brain rev up with simmering anticipation   Makes no difference, the league is full of friends I hold nothing back; I’m out to win every game Practice to do better, engage in visualization You see, I want and need the thrill of victory   My goal is to improve my game every week I know it is only a game, as my wife says But I don’t want to let my teammates down So, I study and practice as often as I can   The desire to keep improving is always with me Competition gives me the opportunity to get better It teaches a life lesson - if I work, I will improve It’s the opportunity to grow my own self-esteem   Now a golden ager, the fiery spirit is still within I love the constant test of trying to do my best And the privilege of contributing to a team effort Need to compete, want to win, I will never quit   I will continue to strive to roll high games Love the feeling of that relentless drive Competition burns in my body and my soul   The thirst for victory I will feel until the end
