Post game motivational speeches

Number three is you should have your emotions moved to tears — could be happiness or joy. But think about it. After a back injury and lots of missed time, Tony Romo lost his dream job — starting NFL quarterback. His backup, Dak Prescott, proved himself worthy of the starting job with his play. In a press conference, Romo addresses the situation with grace and eloquence. They got athletes, they got guys going to Division 1 schools.

All right? We can see that and so can everybody else. But nobody can see the intangible in us. Be the intangible tonight! In , Drew Brees set the record for most passing yards in a season and gave this motivational sports speech to his coaches and teammates after the game. Yes, this speech is from a football movie Any Given Sunday , but trust me: This isn't your stereotypical rah-rah-go-get-'em sports speech. It's deeper than that. It's about life, and loss, and Either we heal as a team or we're gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, till we're finished.

We're in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. We can climb out of hell, one inch at a time. I had to put this one next since it plays along the same themes as Denzel Washington's UPenn speech.

In the scene above, from the film Rocky Balboa , the title character played by Sylvester Stallone is having a heart-to-heart with his son.

The advice he gives him: Don't let your failures or the adversity you face slow you down. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.

That's how winning is done! In the scene above, Yoda -- voiced by Frank Oz -- is teaching Luke the ways of the force. One of his key teachings: Whether or not something can or can't be done e.

So instead of doubting yourself, believe in yourself. Here's another speech from the big screen, this time from the film The Pursuit of Happyness.

In the scene above, Will Smith's character explains to his son why he shouldn't pursue basketball because he'll end up being "below average" before having a major change of heart. Don't ever let somebody tell you Not even me.

All right? You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. The Miracle on Ice is still considered the biggest upset in Olympic hockey history. And for good reason. The Soviet Union won six of the last seven Olympic gold medals, and the U. It was obvious the Soviets were better. But, in the movie Miracle , which told the incredible story of the U.

The U. And his speech conveyed such a strong belief in his team that they pulled off one of the greatest sports moments of the 20th century. But not this game… Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players, every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Want more?

As a team leader, using motivational speeches as a tool to enhance workplace performance, spurring them into working harder and smarter. When you motivate your team, they are bound to attempt and complete all tasks given to them efficiently before the set deadline.

This article of Forbes would enlighten you about the importance of motivational speeches for your team and a few motivational speeches you could use especially if you have no idea on what to say. Other than the general view in terms of productivity and efficiency given in the first section of this article, there are several reasons why motivating your team is necessary.

All of which could affect your overall productivity and contribute to the waste of your resources. These reasons and more are why using motivational speeches for your team is important.

Sometimes, team members could lose interest along the way and in turn, lose commitment. Motivating your team will generally increase commitment within them and cause them to put in their best efforts towards any tasks assigned to them. Personally, I love this kind of stuff. All the yelling and jumping and high-fiving makes me wish I had given the whole college athletics thing a shot.

Here are 20 locker room speeches that will fire up anyone not lacking a soul. Countering the stroke-inducing rage of Bobby Knight, we have the aw-shucks likability of Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. There's no reason that Carroll's man-child antics should fly in the NFL, except that they do. The players in Seattle really respond to the dedicated prankster in charge. And when Carroll flips the switch from hokey with heart to locker room loudmouth, his guys always eat it up with a spoon. It's too bad you can't can the Mighty Ducks' Gordon Bombay and deploy his brand of team-first, win-without-losing-yourself locker room schtick any time a group of preteens need to get fired up and take down those soul-sucking jerks from Team Iceland.

In fact, I bet Emilio Estevez wishes he was that marketable. Bombay's speech from D2: The Mighty Ducks doesn't use fear, shame or spite to inspire, just a reminder of the opportunity the kids have to be champions and to do it honorably. I'm guessing the Flyers aren't fans of his approach. There are few people who could keep up the same level of intensity that 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh managed during his first season in San Francisco.

It may be a chore for lesser men, but the elder Harbaugh just couldn't do it any other way. Most of his postgame speeches from have made their way to YouTube and, no matter the consequences of the game, Harbaugh's message and enthusiasm were consistent.

Carolina Panthers franchise quarterback and former Auburn star Cam Newton is entering his second year in the NFL after a historic rookie debut, so it's easy to forget that Newton came out of nowhere in to lead an unheralded Auburn to the BCS title. Head coach Gene Chizik's post-BCS speech to his players is a great reminder of how special Auburn's season was and how strong the team's chemistry was by the end of the season.

We're all motivated by different things, but I know that for me, personally, nothing lights a fire under my ass than the very real threat of being faced with the business end of a flying chair.

Legendary rage-a-holic Bobby Knight only had two settings: angry and angrier. This audio peek into Knight's locker room is a glimpse into the motivational methods of NCAA basketball's second most winningest coach. The players may have come into the locker room anticipating a basketball game, but they walked out onto the court with strict instructions from Lewis to create their legacy today because tomorrow is never promised.

So lay your foundation. After watching UL-Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth's speech before the New Orleans Bowl, it's not surprising to hear that his name is frequently on the short list of hot head coach candidates.

And it wasn't just a great locker room moment, it was effective.
