The Intensity Of Brent

Brent was in a zone. He was in position. He was ready to go.

As the game began Brent's heart raced with excitement. This was his moment. He had been preparing for weeks. He was in the gym. He was on the treadmill. He was in shape. Now all that he needed was a check in the win collumn.

The game progressed and Brent was really sweating. He was screaming and yelling in no particular direction. He was intense. Every ten minutes or so he would begin to feel dehydrated so he started slamming drinks to rehydrate. When the ref made a bad call Brent threw his visor in the air in disgust. When his team scored he danced in circles in celebration. When the opposing team scored he sulked in dissappointment. The raw emotion of sport could be seen in every action that Brent took.

When the game finally concluded Brent had given it everything he had. He had put his heart and soul into the game, and sadly it wasn't enough as when the game came to an end his team was defeated. It was at that moment the bartender turned off the TV and told Brent to call a cab home because the bar was closing. If only that story took place during a kickball game instead of during a televised hockey game! :(
