I like this poem  because it reminds me alot of myself. Back in the day i played 7 years of pop-warner football and loved every minute of it. Although i was not the reciever as the person in this story is describing himself as, i was still one of the most escential people on the field, the quarterback. Calling the plays and making them happen was a great challenge. the team depended on me and i rarely let them down. Making coach mad was one of my strong points as well. While he was calling the plays that i was suppose to run, sometimes i called an audible because i saw something different in the defense that he couldn’t see. He often got mad at me for doing this but after the play was over he knew i was right in making the decision that i did and wasn’t so mad anymore. In this poem the author describes in vivid detail about how he and his coach are feeling at the moment of the time-out through the touchdown. This poem makes me think about one day being able to become a coach for a football team because i love the sport so much and have played and experienced the game throughout my life.
