Amy’s Acknowledgements:
“My work-hard ethic was ignited by one coach in Darien, CT, Laurie LaRusso, who, against all odds, fought a debilitating disease to come back to coaching and helping develop young athletes. I held her mentality of ‘stand tall’ and tenacity to ‘never quit’ in high regard and I will always carry her inspiration with me wherever I go. The team mantra and inspirational poem maninglass.com forever holds true in my daily life.”
The Man in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day.
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what the man has to say.
For it isn’t your mother, father or spouse
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
And think you’re a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest.
For he’s with you clear to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
