10.In the last line, what does the phrase "I'm ready to move on if you are" signify?

I believe the last line of "Little League Haiku" represents acceptance.  The football player had taken a risk in calling out a haiku instead of the regulated formation.  This moment of failure lead to a greater understanding of his own entity. By disallowing to permit guilt and shame consume him, his acceptance of his mistake illustrated how he is ready for the world.  I believe this is the literary term foreshadowing. Although there is no set ending, I believe it foreshadows that they will win the game. Thus, the phrase symbolizes he is ready to move on and that the world is filled with flaws.  This misconvenience signifies learning and understanding.
