Hey i was just posting on this forum for some help. Back when i was in HS, my football coach brought in a poem by an author whom I can't remember. I was wondering if anyone could help me out to figure out his name and where i oculd find the poem. I think it was called "Just a Little More" the first stanza went

The thing about a champion is obvious enough,
it isn't any facsinating old magician stuff.
Its nothing more than putting out, whatever be the chore,
the power that is in you - and just a little more

i cant remember the 2nd stanza (which is why i wanna find this poem)

the 3rd went

The thing about a champion is simple, plain, and clear,
its never being almost, just about, or pretty near.
Its summoning the utmost from yoru spirits inner core.
and giving every bit of it! - and just a little more.

and it ends..

That little more, how much is it? As deep, and wide, and far,
From the enormous emptiness, from molehill to a star.
The gulf between the should-have-beens, and eagles as they sore.
The cahmpions, they give their best - and just a little more.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!
