clown coaches focus focused practice quiet study task team uptight
We're not an uptight bunch. We just like to have fun. A lot of coaches like the team to be quiet and focused before a game. The way we focus is to clown around. We think about the task at hand. But we don't worry. We like to have fun, study and practice hard.
