P for Perseverance in ABC of Sports

Sunday Whirl's 12 given words:
first lost sights forget stretch shell 
left rattle rest old hole feathers 

Sportsmen are a special breed
First and foremost interest in particular
sports are not lost on them to excel

They set their sights to be the best and
forget little distractions or disappointments
They stretch themselves to their utmost
pushing themselves out of the shell

They are left with no alternatives but to persevere

That should rattle the rest of the field  
Old rivals holed up in their comfort zone
are not of concern

A true champion will go beyond in his
bid for excellence with the designated feathers
in his cap to announce his stature at all times
