Motivation from Yesterday….
We all enjoy hearing about the motivational pre-game speeches…
Especially if they are from our favorite team.
I have had the priviledge during my lifetime of hearing some pre-game pep talks from the very best there is or ever will be…
But I have to say this pre-game speech of yesterday has always been one of my favorites.
“Your fathers and your grandfathers are the ones who fought their fathers.
These men playing against you today are soldiers.
They are the Long Knives.
You are Indians.
Tonight, we will know if you are warriors.”
– Glenn “Pop” Warner, Head Coach of the Carlisle Indians, pre-game pep talk to Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle team before the game with the Cadets of West Point.
If this doesn’t motivate you…
Then you need to check your pulse….
