Champions
If you want to be a champion in the field of athletics, you have to be different from everyone else. You not only have to have a strong work ethic and practice all the time, you must have a strong athletic body and the top level of coordination.
Well lets say that a kid has a killer work ethic and heart for the game, but he hasn’t the height, the body, or even the slightest bit of hand-eye. This kid has a dream of playing professional ball, but no one can fathom that possibility when looking at the kid. Well, what do you do? This kid lives on the sport, but he looks as of a nerd. The only solution that will allow this kid to live his dream is to do something different from everyone else in the sporting world. This kid has to take large amounts of steroids and GH. The kid might not sustain the proper coordination, but he will be able to compete strength-wise and hop over all the other athletes. He probably won’t live as long, and once the sports authorities find out about illegal steroids, chances are the kid will be banned from sports. But, at least he will be on top for awhile, maybe be the best for year or two. If it is what he wants, he will do anything for that ounce of glory, even if he only gets that chance once. It is the only possibility for kids who are not physically talented.

Epic Poem
1 October 2009
One In a Trillion
Hero: Jameson Netello
Setting: A boy from Topeka. Kansas is the best in the world
Opening Action: Author begins with informing the audience how Jameson is the best at every sport. He is absolutely the best there ever was and will be.
This is the story of Jameson Netello,
Fellow to all, equal to none.
One in a trillion is a boy named Jameson,
Talented in every athletic way, doesn’t have a con.
The name Jameson defines winning,
Anything that involves competition and sport, he will keep your head spinning.
The boy Jameson easily conquers fame,
For this reason one must, “Remember the Name.”
Jameson became acquainted with sport at an early age.
A young baby, always moving around like he was mad with rage,
His parents couldn’t contain him, they needed a cage.
When Jameson was five, he was five feet tall,
And for Christmas that year, all he wanted was a ball.
He kicked it and threw it,
Dribbled it and maneuvered it,
Bounced it and shot it,
Spiraled it and caught it.

Jameson was the competitive type,
When in a game, he always lived for the hype.
He dreamed of being the best,
But not just at one sport, but all the rest.
Anything that involved him holding the victor’s cup,
Kept him on his game, always in the clutch.
When he was just a youth teen, the sporting world was after him,
Not one could figure why he was so special,
Was it the work he put in, the stature he had, the killer instinct he showed?
Or was it that a god made him to be always a professional, a man among boys.
People also argued that he was the god of sports,
Because he never had an off game, he was 100%.
By fifteen, Jameson was the best athlete in the world,
None could beat him, few could play alongside him.
This, only the beginning of Jameson’s long reign in his kingdom of sports.
