My ears aren’t
focused on coaches advice yet in my crazy mind I know what he was saying. When
I hear the roaring however disruptive, crowd I put on my headphones to focus. I
hear my name from the speaker and nervously walk out of my changing room, and immediately
saw my competition. I was amazed at how they looked, so athletic and strong but
coach pinched me and told me to focus. I stood on my diving board eager to get
in the water. The crowd went silent, then BANG!! I dived into what felt like
the north poles wintery water, except I don’t feel cold, I feel good. I can’t
even hear the crowd. I see that I’m coming second but that’s not good enough
for me so I blast my arms and kick my legs all the way to the end. I did it! My
heart soared like an eagle and my pride grew like a plant. I sighed a breath of
relief. Coach congratulated me and gave me a hug. I thanked him and congratulated
the other competitors. What an incredible race.
