You don't sleep the same when you're playing for someone who can't.
The night before a game becomes different. You think about the warmup you used to do together, the handshakes that had specific sequences you've never explained to anyone else. You think about whether they can see you from wherever they are now.
Then you go out and play like the answer is yes.
RMF was built for this — the silent dedication that never gets announced over a PA system. The kind where you just know, in the third quarter when your legs are gone, why you're still running.
That's what a jersey is. That's what this is.
