The ball is in your court
It’s your decision or responsibility to do something now
Bark up the wrong tree
You've got the wrong person or idea
Call the shots
Make the decisions
Chip in
Help by donating money or time
Front runner
One of the people who is expected to win
Get a head start
Start before all others
Get into the full swing
Be comfortable doing something after some time
Get off the hook
Escape, have responsibility removed
Give it your best shot
Try your hardest
Give you a run for your money
Try your hardest to defeat another person
Go overboard
Do or say more than you need to
Have the upper hand
Have a better chance of winning or succeeding
Jump the gun
Start too early
Keep your head above water
Try not to fall behind in work or other duties
Learn the ropes
Understand new things
Long shot
A very difficult thing to accomplish
