H-for hustle
E-for effort
A-for agility
R-for risk taking
And T-for teamwork
How much heart do you put into your game?
It's not all about the skills
But it's about hustling until it kills
It's not about who's better
But instead of how much effort
The amount of effort you put in is your responsibility
Without it what good is agility
Risk everything you've got
To make that one shot
Doing this all by yourself won't work
That is why it is important to use teamwork
Team- together everyone achieves more
That is what will help you score
Next time you tire
Think about the desire
The desire to win
So lets go all in
I'm going to ask this question again
And I hope you answer with a percent of 110
How much heart do you put into your game?
