Here is a speech that one of my former coaches used to scream at us before every game in high school that got us motivated to play. After the prayer, he would say a few choice words then we’d all repeat his speech loudly while on 1 knee…
“We are here together.
To fight for victory.
Best friends with one another.
Like one big family.
So come on mighty(Hoosiers).
Let’s join in on the fun.
Because our team is finally ready.
To fight for number 1.
Our team includes many things.
To help us win this fight.
Courage, Pride, and Poise.
To show us what is right.
And if we don’t do what is right.
We will fix what is wrong.
Our team will never give up.
Our Team Will Never Give Up.
OUR TEAM WILL NEVER GIVE UP!
Because we’ve been fighting for too damn long!”
