First Touch - Ховард Гудолл, Original London Bend it Like Beckham Cast

Team skills, ball skills

Life skills, all skills

Require that certain age-old knack

Of zoning in while stepping back

Curved shots, straight shots

Long shots, great shots

They’re lost if you so much as blink

If brain and boots are out of sync

You’ve got to teach your head how not to think

Don’t think, just do it

Tell yourself that there’s nothing to it

Add a dash of trust and just jump in

Don’t over-plan it

There’s no formula carved in granite

Will’s all it will take to make it spin

Just try a little less hard

Apply a little more joy

Feel a little more a sun

Reveal a little bit more of you

Than you’re used to showing

The you inside, wide-eyed, outgoing

The you worth knowing

So if you wanna bend that shot

Give it tenth of all you’ve got

And you’ll be amazed by what

Just doing can do

Just give a little bit less

And live a little bit more

Go a little off-road

And show a little bit more of Jess

Than the frown she’s wearing

The Jess who’s fun

The one worth sharing

Who’s different, daring…

So the lesson

For today

Is you need to

Feel the force

Feel your way

And the lesson truly learned

Is a hurdle: undermined, overturned

And you can clear those mental blocks

If you think outside the box!

Then there’s a hope of a chance

You might be rewarded by the sight

Of a miracle in flight

So if something just feels right…

Right…

Right?

Right…

Right!

Everything said was true!

All you need to do is do it!
