One Decision


Coach tells you

One decision

You have to do it

Once, twice

Maybe you won't

No, you have to do it

Now, now is the time

Down the line

If she doesn't throw

Make sure she runs at you

She does, hold

You have to make her throw

Turn sideways, take a step

Fake her out

Make her think you'll dive back

Then go, go as hard as you can

Don't stop, slide 

Make the steal
