Here’s an original poem called A Coach And A Critic.  It was originally published in my book:  Your Sperm Won — Experiencing Your Value As A Championship Human Being.

A coach and a critic

Stood side by side,

Watching a contender’s

Every stride

“You won’t make it!”

The critic yelled,

“You’re so bad,

You’ll get nailed!”

“Keep on going!”

The coach replied,

“You’ll win this race.

Don’t be denied!”

Which voice was heard?

I cannot say,

For you run this race

Every day.

Coach or critic?

The voice you choose

Will determine if

You win or lose!

You have what it takes to make yourself an outstanding life! Don’t allow an inner critic to cripple or distract you. Instead, continually listen to your inner coach You can do it! Keep on trying! Victory will come!

Critic:
