This was posted when I was in high school playing football in Texas. I’ve watched it a thousand times. I come back to this one often as I get into my 30’s to motivate me. One of the greatest speeches in history.
Wow same here.. I graduated 2009 and have watched this so many times through life. Time flies so fast I can’t believe this video will be two decades old soon.
wish i would have never fucked up my grades...i graduated 2010 nd i still regret messin up my senior year...once u get tht feeling u will always love the game.football is everything.
I've just started playing for a team in the UK and I can't get enough of it. Your team looks out for you and everyone from special teams through to the star running back are equals. It just makes you feel like your part of something massive.
Im going to be a freshman next year and just starting my highschool career. I listened to this before every game and had one hell of a kickass performance. Theres no greater feeling to get strapped up in football gear. There isnt one sport that defeats football.
I'm a sophomore right now at costa mesa Varsity and JV...and we play estancia in 2 weeks for battle of the bell and where you see the bell at 4:30 ...that's a tradition right there and I'm glad they are our rivals because thats one thing that will make you remember and know that its going to be one of your best games and most memorable sharing that victory or loss with your teammates knowing you went through it together thats what football is its not just a team..its family.
I LOVE this video.. Tomorrow is the first game of my senior year, my final year of high school football... I've been watching this video before every game ever since I was a freshman, and I am so glad its still here.. Im going to make the most of my senior year I promise I will go all out no regrets and play hard 110 percent EVERY day EVERY play.. I hope and pray that I will make it to college football.. good luck everyone hope you have a good season
Going into my jv year of football in Texas it's hard we have alot of players I am blessed to be starting I work hard especially in the summer so I don't loose my strength I think every boy should go through this great experience it can teach you the game of life
I've played football since i was 6 years old and quit after my freshman year. I was burnt out, i lost my love for the game. nothing could motivate me to get back out there. My high school football team played and 9 months out of the year, it sucked. surprisingly when i quit i was worrying if i was going to regret it down the road, but i dont. I know what football is all about, learned my football lessons about life for the most part. I play basketball and lax now and loving it
i only won 2 games in my two years of varsity football, but that didn't matter. what mattered is that i was doing what i loved. what mattered was that, those who stuck with it and didn't quit even though we weren't winning. what mattered was those 9 or 10 seniors that kept going from freshman foot ball to playing as a senior. We fought together, we lost together, and we never gave up in any game no matter the score. i will miss this game!
I'm a freshman right now and I can't wait for practice in two weeks!!! This is the first time I ever played on a team. We have a small team so I'm going to play defense offense and special teams no breaks. Football, football, football!!! This is so inspiring!! I will play my heart out this coming season.
The one sport that can unite anyone from any race and turn a group of players into more than a team it turns them into a family a family willing to fight for eachother...High School Football will never die
Im a Junior currently. I got switched to quarterback this summer. I had never played it. Im 5ft 10in and i beat out two seniors for the starting quarterback. We win our home opener last weekend in our brand new stadium and it felt amazing. What would the world be without football?!
Escalon High Football in California. 2010 CA D3 State Champs. Going for a repeat. Currently 6-0. Lost our All State Both Way Lineman last week for the season. Impossible is Nothing. Hold the Rope. Brotherhood and play for the town. Tradition Never Graduates. Cougar 4 Life. Listening to this speech before each game has been going on at Escalon since this came out. We play exactly how this speech explains.
when i hear this speech i want to give my life and soul for the football team man this is the best football speech. if our coach said this before every game we would never lose
I'm coming up on my senior year of high school football. We've been through 4 offenses in 4 years and just lost our head coach because our best player just finished his last year..no one believes in us..they take us as a joke. Well this year, we're gonna show how far we've come..taking it one inch at a time.
"I lived in fear most of my. Afraid, becaues i thought i was 2 small, 2 weak, 2 slow. But when i put on that helmet 4 the frist time... i felt good. i ran the footbal, i felt free... free from fear. i made a touchdown for the frist and last time. i gave everthing i had." He was a true miracle... we lost a true brother that day.
this video gave me chills, and it sucks cause i broke my arm at practice last year and got nerve damage off it and can't play my senior year this video just makes me feel like i'm letting my team down for not pulling through the injury but i'd rather recover then fuck it up for good. i'm just gonna miss it so much,
This video makes me wanna go out and play football my last year in high school. I played 3 years in grade school and layed out every practice, getting hurt, getting injured, pulling muscles, I quit all 3 years because I thought I was too small and weak. But not this time, I will work 13 months day in and day out just to play under those lights my last damn year. It would mean the world to me if I played again, with the big and better me that I will become. This video is inspiration.
It is truely amazing, id say the best feeling of my highschool years,so far..You grow old and will miss this feeling, and this is why i will have my best and most likely last year of football next year.
omg....i remember the first year i played varsity in 7th grade (i go to a really small school) but we were good but playoffs jus slipped by us and the final game all the senoirs were cryin and everything and i felt somthin that i never felt before. that these were the guys i spent two-a-days with everyday in the weight room and the closet games we lost by 6 points or 2 its was a very special feeling. thats a day ill rember the rest of my life
we lost 3 players this past season to a shooting+carcrash. they were all great players and some of my closest friends. i think i speak for my team when i say that every time we step onto that turf we dedicate every inch, every breath, every point we score, and every bone crushing tackle we make, to those 3 brave boys whos lives were cut short. we are a family we have a special bond that nobody can break. dont let anybody take that from you. RIP Sean M. Parsons, Andrew M. Davis, and Trevor Jones
im 6"5 and 335 pound and i play right guard and everyday i play with the brothers i have in my football team and i apreciate everything they do for me and hearing this makes my day its all true to my team go gophers
Im in college now, and we don't have football where I go...but I miss every second of it. The smell of the grass, the sweat dripping down from my face, the burn of the practice, the dirt in between my fingers, and that dull crack of shoulder pads hitting together, the warmth of the huddle, the scream of the crowd after a first down, the rebuke of coach when you screwed up, the silence in the locker room after a tough loss, the pep talks, the brotherhood, the guys I would die for...man I miss it.
i juss graduated this year.... and its crazy watchin this video man... i put so much into high school football.... and they start two a days in ohio tomorrow... everything is just a continuos ring... its crazy!!
It's nothin like Texas high school football. You can imitate it, think you know about or think you got it. But in Texas we work hard on the field, mat room, weight room and bootcamp. It's on another level down here
Escalon High School. Team listens to this speech in the dark before we go out. We are currently in season defending our California Division 3 State Championship. Tradition Never Graduates, Cougar 4 Life.
football player over in england! this my rookie season and i tell you im pumped.. this speech works awesome to get ya ready for the game, just want to ask any player who plays what the best work out is best for a reciever? i asked my fellow players but i would rather ask a guy who played from young age and through high school and stuff... thanks!! and good luck to all players in the seasons to come!
I miss playing....I still remember peoples faces celebrating in our victories...Im telling all of you right now, theres nothing else like playing on a team{High School Football}...trust me!!!
For all you kids out there watching this that are still in HIgh School.Never give up never back down no matter what.For freshman you gotta start somewhere. It's where you end up not where you start.I grew up watching NFL and loving it. Never played til my senior year. Started varsity Kickoff that was it.Then I realized what I was missing.Always go to the fullest of your ability so you NEVER EVER say you could of done something.These are the best times of your life.It will gone before you know it
@bradworks you can remember the feeling, but when your done football in high school, you wont get the feeling till you get married and have kids. I played it and every friday, i don't notice, but i didn't get that feeling, but on those friday's, i did. Something true is that people that played high school football, college football, and pro football miss high school football the most. Its a feeling noone should take for granted, hope both are teams go all the way to state's.
never will forget anything that has happened this year, made 1st team all league but i would have never have gotten there without my fellow teammates behind me
When I first heard this, I didn't think much of it, but now after playing High School football, everytime I hear it, it's amazing to me how true it is. It pumps me up.
Im only a freshman but i used to play in pop warner. Ive been playing for 9 years and footballs my life ! I miss all those memories from youth football. I still remember my highlights from the pee wees. But now in in highschool. Im on the JV team and im the QB. But i got injured. I tore my Miniscus. I was out for most of the season. I hated being on the sidelines watching my teamates. Those are my brothers out there. I also played corner. This offseason im ready to train my ass off ! Be strong !
this is my freshmen year playing football but i still cryed when we played our last game at halftime and when i touched that field my spirirt woke up agian to hit somebody i play middle linebacker i went the lsat play of the game and i hit and hit till i couldnt hit no more. football is my life it is my everything all i talk about. i cant wait to get out there next year and keep playing till i wana quit
best speech ever, i dont think it gets any better than that.. inches mean everything in a football game, its also the beast feeling in the world when your on the feild, you dont understand until your actually in it
I have been graduated for two years now. I still remember my last game, it was the worst day of my life. now there is an emptiness in my life. I will never have my team back. cherish every moment, every hit, every down, every day.
im 5"9 and 155 pounds. its my first year of varsity football. the year before this year i was part of our freshman team that went undefeated. im not a starter, but im constantly getting my ass kicked day in and day out from the bigger starters when im on scout team. Lately ive been saying that im gonna step up my game and prove to myself and the coaches that im the guy that wants to play, but i haven't yet. watching this video makes me realize that i need to step up now or not step up at all.
wow. Speech actually got me thinking.. thats one thing we as football palyers have in common.. we are all on a mission. The same mission. The mission to fight for every inch. Mission to win.. That was the best speech i ever heard in my life... imma find a way to put this on my zune...
great job putting this together. The inches speech is over used but it really is the best I've ever seen in a movie and it works well with this video. All the signs on the doors and walls as the team walks out.. brought back memories.
Ghostmankiilah most coaches look for talent, but most of all potential. when i freshman, i didnt not play sports before then, so i did not play more than maybe a collective of 2 quarter all season. but i worked hard in the weight room and showed my commitment to my coaches during practice and what not. the next year i was 1 of 5 sophmores pulled up to the varsity team and ended up starting the 1st game beating out 2 juniors and a senior for the position. show em drive and dedication, good luck
High School football is as good of a game as it gets. After that, it's Everyman for himself. My last season is coming up and I'm honestly crying thinking about leaving the school behind.
This video is really motivating. I'm a 5'10 lb 160 (I was 180 a month ago..) Defensive end who is fighting to defend his position, but since we play in the fourth most competitive HS league im the country, we have 6'0 + O-line men who outweigh me by 50+ ! The games are tough, but I have something they don't, which is heart! I play my heart out on the field and give it my best every day. I'm the hardest working player on my team and never give up! They might be bigger than me, but I'll be better
everybody wants the gift of being good at football and sports without seeing how big or a burden it is they see the friday night lights and how happy you are when you win the joy of the game but they don't see the everyday pain we go through the ability to make our bodies do something only with pure will because we don't our team, family, friends, community down we give up our lives for football second guessing it every second but we never quit we are football players
I have always heard that time goes faster then you know it. Guess it's true, because my senior football year is over, and there is nothing I can do to get them back. I would give anything for ONE more down of high school football.You never know what you have til it's gone. I dedicated SEVEN years to football and do NOT regret a damn one of them! My team battled through diversity to make it to sections TWICE, when noone else believed in us. WE were are support group and Friends. I LOVE FOOTBALL!!
When I practice on that field with my teamates and play on that field we all become more than teamates we become brothers with an unbreakable bond and a trust in each other is found, a trust that goes beyond being just brothers, but family. So with your family behind you and supporting you get out on that field and play like your life and the lives of your family are at steak recite the football prayer and the go out and Win That Game!!!!! Amen.
That is amazing commitment. Your attitude and commitment is what all coaches hope their players have. I'm just glad this video can offer some inspiration to keep you going.
football is more then a sort its a way of life working together every day on the same page at the same time focused on 1 objective and thats victory in a year ill be playing in high school jv team and last sunday we played our rivalry team and the opening kickoff was blocked perfectly andi returned it for a 75 yard touchdown ihope im able to later in my life throughout my football career
As team captain and starter for anamosa high school I recommended this video to my players . I told them it would make them realize that football is life.
I WILL LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT SESSION BECAUSE EVERYDAY I DO MY BEST PUTS ME 1 BEAUTIFUL FUCKING INCH CLOSER TO MY GOAL..............STORY OF OUR LIVES NOTHING BUT INCHES AND CHOICES.......I LOVED ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
this vid made me almost cry...im a freshmen in high school and im about to leave my jv team for varsity bc i got moved up...i realized that this is my last and final stage for high school football...after seeing this vid i looked at myself and asked..."am i putting my best into this fantastic sport"?..."am i giving 110% on the field 24/7"?...these are the questions i ask myself...and really there's no better sport than football... your teammates are your brothers...honor them
hi everyone my name is shaun and i have played football since i was 2. When i put those pads on it brings back memories of the days on every friday. It reminds me of the privolage tht i have ever friday to step out under the lights. to represent my town, to control the outcome of next weeks atmosphere in school. Its a great feelin when i put those pads on and i no tht after senior yr my life will neva b the same
I feel the same way bro!!! I would give nothing more then to strap on some shoulder pads ONE more time... you know.. just for old times sake. It is hard for me to put my feelings into words about this sport, but I love it!! Everyday I wake up, I think about the times I've had and the opportunity I missed with College ball. (My scholarship fell through because I chose another school.) But HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL will ALWAYS be GREAT memories!!!
I play in a Portuguese team, here we are just starting this sport and we play in the Spanish league, we lost 3 games against Spanish team, but last sunday we won our first game against the other Portuguese team in competition, it's just an amazing feeling, American football is just ... amazing ! :)
I found this on the song behind the speech. Artist name is Paul Kelly. The album called "Soundings in Film" has the entire song, which is called PEACE, without the dialouge. He's a solo artist and he has his own website.
if u've never been on a football tem u wouldnt understand the bond the each and every one of us shares. we are a family, united. brought together by fate. we have been given a gift by God, a gift that NOBODY! can take from us! we bleed, swaet, and cry together. there is a bond in football that can only be expirenced by those that play the soprt and are willing to leave it all on the field. we're only as good as our weakest link... but together we make that link stronger with each passing day.
Man Im coming to my Senior year. Im only 5,5 and play both sides of the ball Before i weighed 145 being a bitch but could still make tackles and plays. Now this offseason Im little over 160 running 4.7 increasing my speed every day. Football is everything in my life it is my motivation to push my body to its limit. Being a Senior and a leader is a great experience pushing the underclassmen. EVERY FUCKING DAY I pray that I can one day play in the NCAA and then the NFL. Cant wait for August!!!!
It's sad that not everyone in my team is serious with football. Like what the coach said, specifically to the freshmen, they're only in for the jersey. I'm still in JV along with some other sophomores, we try to pump the freshmen up, to motivate them to work hard. But some of them just don't get it. Reality is that not every team is like the movies. We have some slackers who couldn't care less
man, this video just gave me chills. im not hating on soccer but its something about football that brings you together as a family. its whoever has more heart that will win.

the guy that made the three big comments is right football teaches you how to work as a team and manners im freshman defensive line all the work and shit is worth it just to win a game football is the best thing you can do
its not about the money, its about the pride, in your school in your town. But when it comes down to it, its about the two guys next to you, and guys behind you. Your brothers on the grid iron. Linemen lead the way.
@RobbieDeeGreat your words made me thrill fella. Unfortunately im from brazil and there is no high school football over here, though, i've been practicing it by myself, i mean, with no coaches! FOOOOOTBALL \o//
I watch this video before everygame. I'm a 3rd year starter on my varsity team. We went 9-4 the last two years. We are ready to win states this year. We are hungry for that championship. 11th grade 6'3 280. O-line. Its all about the beef, baby.
I am only 5"6 and 135-140 lbs. I started varsity for my school as a freshman this past year. we went to the campionship playoff game. i did not get hurt once, my parents thought i would, but i proved them wrong. you will be fine as long as you hit the weight room a lot during the summer! dont give up. Size means nothing.
just the video i need !! im playing football rght now, and im givin 101% because i know when im old im gonna miss it much! play and practice all you can while you still have the chance!
I loved this video when I first saw it, but now that I've graduated it brings a tear to my eye. To any high schoolers readin this. Leave it all on the field because you'll miss it once it's gone.
Football is life, on workng your hardest against someone else, either winning or losing, its working with teammates or co-workers, and its having one chance to get that win or job, that's why football is life. Baseball, basketball, Hockey, they have at least 7 chances, Football, you have 1 and that's it. Boone Football is everything to us. Noone givesus chances, media hates us, but we play for each other, and die for each other. Football Is Lfe
You made the big man tear up here... Seriously, football is life. I'm off-season right now, I'm a DT. I'm working pretty hard to be ready for the next season and as mitchman35z said, it reminds me why I do it. Your vid touched me right mate, keep it up.

Same bro haha such nostalgia. Makes me remember all the details of high school football. Sights, smells, sounds. Life is crazy.
Wow same here.. I graduated 2009 and have watched this so many times through life. Time flies so fast I can’t believe this video will be two decades old soon.

wish i would have never fucked up my grades...i graduated 2010 nd i still regret messin up my senior year...once u get tht feeling u will always love the game.football is everything.
I've just started playing for a team in the UK and I can't get enough of it. Your team looks out for you and everyone from special teams through to the star running back are equals. It just makes you feel like your part of something massive.

I miss playing....I still remember peoples faces celebrating in our victories...Im telling all of you right now, theres nothing else like playing on a team{High School Football}...trust me!!!
For all you kids out there watching this that are still in HIgh School.Never give up never back down no matter what.For freshman you gotta start somewhere. It's where you end up not where you start.I grew up watching NFL and loving it. Never played til my senior year. Started varsity Kickoff that was it.Then I realized what I was missing.Always go to the fullest of your ability so you NEVER EVER say you could of done something.These are the best times of your life.It will gone before you know it

this is my freshmen year playing football but i still cryed when we played our last game at halftime and when i touched that field my spirirt woke up agian to hit somebody i play middle linebacker i went the lsat play of the game and i hit and hit till i couldnt hit no more. football is my life it is my everything all i talk about. i cant wait to get out there next year and keep playing till i wana quit
It's the speech Al Pacino does in the movie "Any Given Sunday." It is a great movie for the football fan.
best speech ever, i dont think it gets any better than that.. inches mean everything in a football game, its also the beast feeling in the world when your on the feild, you dont understand until your actually in it
I have been graduated for two years now. I still remember my last game, it was the worst day of my life. now there is an emptiness in my life. I will never have my team back. cherish every moment, every hit, every down, every day.
im 5"9 and 155 pounds. its my first year of varsity football. the year before this year i was part of our freshman team that went undefeated. im not a starter, but im constantly getting my ass kicked day in and day out from the bigger starters when im on scout team. Lately ive been saying that im gonna step up my game and prove to myself and the coaches that im the guy that wants to play, but i haven't yet. watching this video makes me realize that i need to step up now or not step up at all.
wow.
Speech actually got me thinking..
thats one thing we as football palyers have in common..
we are all on a mission. The same mission.
The mission to fight for every inch.
Mission to win..
That was the best speech i ever heard in my life...
imma find a way to put this on my zune...
great job putting this together. The inches speech is over used but it really is the best I've ever seen in a movie and it works well with this video. All the signs on the doors and walls as the team walks out.. brought back memories.
The speech is from the movie "Any Given Sunday." Al Pacino is giving the speech as the coach of the team. It is a great movie for the football fan.

most coaches look for talent, but most of all potential. when i freshman, i didnt not play sports before then, so i did not play more than maybe a collective of 2 quarter all season. but i worked hard in the weight room and showed my commitment to my coaches during practice and what not. the next year i was 1 of 5 sophmores pulled up to the varsity team and ended up starting the 1st game beating out 2 juniors and a senior for the position. show em drive and dedication, good luck
High School football is as good of a game as it gets. After that, it's Everyman for himself. My last season is coming up and I'm honestly crying thinking about leaving the school behind.
This video is really motivating. I'm a 5'10 lb 160 (I was 180 a month ago..) Defensive end who is fighting to defend his position, but since we play in the fourth most competitive HS league im the country, we have 6'0 + O-line men who outweigh me by 50+ ! The games are tough, but I have something they don't, which is heart! I play my heart out on the field and give it my best every day. I'm the hardest working player on my team and never give up! They might be bigger than me, but I'll be better
No sport comes close to the bonds you get playing football. You become closer than brothers with your teamates.
everybody wants the gift of being good at football and sports without seeing how big or a burden it is they see the friday night lights and how happy you are when you win the joy of the game but they don't see the everyday pain we go through the ability to make our bodies do something only with pure will because we don't our team, family, friends, community down we give up our lives for football second guessing it every second but we never quit we are football players
I have always heard that time goes faster then you know it. Guess it's true, because my senior football year is over, and there is nothing I can do to get them back. I would give anything for ONE more down of high school football.You never know what you have til it's gone. I dedicated SEVEN years to football and do NOT regret a damn one of them! My team battled through diversity to make it to sections TWICE, when noone else believed in us. WE were are support group and Friends. I LOVE FOOTBALL!!
The sky above, the field below
When I practice on that field with my teamates and play on that field we all become more than teamates we become brothers with an unbreakable bond and a trust in each other is found, a trust that goes beyond being just brothers, but family. So with your family behind you and supporting you get out on that field and play like your life and the lives of your family are at steak recite the football prayer and the go out and Win That Game!!!!! Amen.
That is amazing commitment. Your attitude and commitment is what all coaches hope their players have. I'm just glad this video can offer some inspiration to keep you going.
The only time a man can cry is when his dog dies, or his high school football season ends ... Damn I miss high school football
football is more then a sort its a way of life working together every day on the same page at the same time focused on 1 objective and thats victory in a year ill be playing in high school jv team and last sunday we played our rivalry team and the opening kickoff was blocked perfectly andi returned it for a 75 yard touchdown ihope im able to later in my life throughout my football career
As team captain and starter for anamosa high school I recommended this video to my players . I told them it would make them realize that football is life.
I WILL LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT SESSION BECAUSE EVERYDAY I DO MY BEST PUTS ME 1 BEAUTIFUL FUCKING INCH CLOSER TO MY GOAL..............STORY OF OUR LIVES NOTHING BUT INCHES AND CHOICES.......I LOVED ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
Nothing is better than high school football and the seniors dont know what they've got until its gone
this vid made me almost cry...im a freshmen in high school and im about to leave my jv team for varsity bc i got moved up...i realized that this is my last and final stage for high school football...after seeing this vid i looked at myself and asked..."am i putting my best into this fantastic sport"?..."am i giving 110% on the field 24/7"?...these are the questions i ask myself...and really there's no better sport than football...
your teammates are your brothers...honor them
hi everyone my name is shaun and i have played football since i was 2. When i put those pads on it brings back memories of the days on every friday. It reminds me of the privolage tht i have ever friday to step out under the lights. to represent my town, to control the outcome of next weeks atmosphere in school. Its a great feelin when i put those pads on and i no tht after senior yr my life will neva b the same
I feel the same way bro!!! I would give nothing more then to strap on some shoulder pads ONE more time... you know.. just for old times sake. It is hard for me to put my feelings into words about this sport, but I love it!! Everyday I wake up, I think about the times I've had and the opportunity I missed with College ball. (My scholarship fell through because I chose another school.) But HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL will ALWAYS be GREAT memories!!!

Man.... Nothing is more pure than high school football
I play in a Portuguese team, here we are just starting this sport and we play in the Spanish league, we lost 3 games against Spanish team, but last sunday we won our first game against the other Portuguese team in competition, it's just an amazing feeling, American football is just ... amazing ! :)
Sometimes they put you where they think you would be best. Thats what happen to me, but some coaches let you choose and see how you work out
I found this on the song behind the speech. Artist name is Paul Kelly. The album called "Soundings in Film" has the entire song, which is called PEACE, without the dialouge. He's a solo artist and he has his own website.
man this brings tears to my eyes i miss this more than i thought possible especially miss the guys i experienced it with
i hear this awsome video everytime after a game very awsome video and its very inspire
if u've never been on a football tem u wouldnt understand the bond the each and every one of us shares. we are a family, united. brought together by fate. we have been given a gift by God, a gift that NOBODY! can take from us! we bleed, swaet, and cry together. there is a bond in football that can only be expirenced by those that play the soprt and are willing to leave it all on the field. we're only as good as our weakest link... but together we make that link stronger with each passing day.
I am playing football in college right now but there will never be anything better than high school football
i cant believe my years of playing football are over. it went by so fast. but i still have so many memories that i'll never forget
And now 13 years has passed since your comment, I came back here from time to time since 2007, time flies!
it still depresses me that high school fights comes up in the suggestions before high school football
this is a beautiful video man when i was playing football this season i listend to this b4 every game to motivate me
would give anything 2 go back and play hs football, it was best time of my life college just wasnt the same.
Man Im coming to my Senior year. Im only 5,5 and play both sides of the ball Before i weighed 145 being a bitch but could still make tackles and plays. Now this offseason Im little over 160 running 4.7 increasing my speed every day. Football is everything in my life it is my motivation to push my body to its limit. Being a Senior and a leader is a great experience pushing the underclassmen. EVERY FUCKING DAY I pray that I can one day play in the NCAA and then the NFL. Cant wait for August!!!!
It's sad that not everyone in my team is serious with football. Like what the coach said, specifically to the freshmen, they're only in for the jersey. I'm still in JV along with some other sophomores, we try to pump the freshmen up, to motivate them to work hard. But some of them just don't get it. Reality is that not every team is like the movies. We have some slackers who couldn't care less
man, this video just gave me chills. im not hating on soccer but its something about football that brings you together as a family. its whoever has more heart that will win.
My football days are over..class of 08..but damn I wish I saw this video when I played, I would have listened to this shit every game.
we start spring ball of my senior season tomoro and this shit tears me up

Im only a freshman but i dress fridays. I dont play, but i get pumped when i listen to this.
the guy that made the three big comments is right football teaches you how to work as a team and manners im freshman defensive line all the work and shit is worth it just to win a game football is the best thing you can do
its not about the money, its about the pride, in your school in your town. But when it comes down to it, its about the two guys next to you, and guys behind you. Your brothers on the grid iron.
Linemen lead the way.
Going into my Senior year of High School. Going to be my 10th Season and gunna miss the hell out of it.
playing under the lights for the first time is a time i wlil never forget.
@RobbieDeeGreat your words made me thrill fella. Unfortunately im from brazil and there is no high school football over here, though, i've been practicing it by myself, i mean, with no coaches! FOOOOOTBALL \o//
I love this speech! I want to train right now because this video sparks so many emotions! Damn, it`s the time of your life!
god this shit gets me TOO pumped. I wanna listen to this before every game
I watch this video before everygame. I'm a 3rd year starter on my varsity team. We went 9-4 the last two years. We are ready to win states this year. We are hungry for that championship. 11th grade 6'3 280. O-line. Its all about the beef, baby.
I am only 5"6 and 135-140 lbs. I started varsity for my school as a freshman this past year. we went to the campionship playoff game. i did not get hurt once, my parents thought i would, but i proved them wrong. you will be fine as long as you hit the weight room a lot during the summer! dont give up. Size means nothing.
just the video i need !!
im playing football rght now, and im givin 101% because i know when im old im gonna miss it much! play and practice all you can while you still have the chance!
I loved this video when I first saw it, but now that I've graduated it brings a tear to my eye. To any high schoolers readin this. Leave it all on the field because you'll miss it once it's gone.
Team=Family
Its as simple as that.
The closer the family, the better the outcome.
I just can't stop listening to this. It's mind blowing.
Beautifullmakes me want to cry konwing that last season was the last season for me in high school football
Football is life, on workng your hardest against someone else, either winning or losing, its working with teammates or co-workers, and its having one chance to get that win or job, that's why football is life. Baseball, basketball, Hockey, they have at least 7 chances, Football, you have 1 and that's it. Boone Football is everything to us. Noone givesus chances, media hates us, but we play for each other, and die for each other. Football Is Lfe
When i almost find myself asking why i'm in football, i listen to this and i remember.
@sabrefan173
that sounds like an incredible sight and experience. Very moving.
You made the big man tear up here...
Seriously, football is life.
I'm off-season right now, I'm a DT.
I'm working pretty hard to be ready for the next season and as mitchman35z said, it reminds me why I do it. Your vid touched me right mate, keep it up.
