Written Option 2

There is little point in arguing to get that extra shift in game 7. If the skill is there you will be out there as much as the coach can make happen, and if you've gotten this far it is far wiser to trust the coach that has delivered the team to this moment than to push for personal glory. Every reasonable player and competitive athlete wants that opportunity to make the big play and to be the one to make the heroic move when the moment comes, but if you just had the shift and it did not happen you need to get past it and follow the rotation. You'll have another shift, and if you need a different matchup the coach can make that happen, but demanding to stay out is never the move. There's nothing heroic about being selfish or being too tired to make the great play when the opportunity comes.
