Its not neccessarily the amount of practices your at but what you put into the practices you are at.

Twisting through the air
It’s super scary I am aware
The most awesome sport
Most of us are really short
We are skilled what can I say
A lot of us are mean
Just learn to play
With broken bones and ripped hands
The Olympics is in all of our plans
Hope to see you at the next games
The sport will forever remain the same
Chalk Bowl Gossip is always the best
And watching your team mates make progress and success
You may fall on your double back tuck
but its always fun to tell about the landings you stuck
The coolest is always winning the gold
Knowing that you are the only one who has it to hold
