    - a current Indian Hill Football player who's team still repeats this prayer.

      @@jamilsayegh9127 soccer is my number one sport. But there’s nothing like football for brotherhood. Soccer is continuous clock and an art of patience to some degree. Football is more momentum and very detailed with play calling and clock stopping.
      While there is definitely some overlap tactically…Soccer is formations, tactics and subs.
      Football is key on matchups matchups, mental and way more physical. While both requiring stamina. Both great. Just way different and brotherhood wise football is more short bursts of emotion while soccer is elongated and like I said more of an art. It’s called the beautiful game for a reason.

      You can motivate your team without making up a story. There are plenty of real life stories he can tell without butchering the bible. He meant well, and I am sure most of his players never knew he got it all wrong but that's not the point. It is not being negative to point out when a statement is not true. Are you kidding? The media makes a living out of doing that every day. If people did not demand accuracy then we would really be in a pickle.

    As a football (soccer) coach in the UK, I wish my players could show as much enthusiasm and passion as the players in this video.
    Sadly, the sport is just not that way. Players are more pampered and used to only praise. They just don't respond in the same way.

    I love this story! However, David’s dad was Jesse, Samuel was a prophet of God chosen to find Israel next king! Saul was the king and he ruled outside of Gods will! God chose David for his heart and I think that is the core of the story! It’s important to know the story in context and relate it accurately! It’s inspiring to see Coach use scripture but he needs to know the story in full! Knowing about God and the Bible will not get anyone to Heaven. Knowing God personally through Jesus Christ will make all the difference! John 3:16-17!

    Samual was not King David's father. Samuel was a prophet who anointed the first two kings of Israel. He first anointed Saul who later lost power then he annointed David. David's father was Jesse. Matthew 1:6-"Jesse was the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah."

      Joshadow DJ Great job. As soon as he started talking, I started shaking my head. Remember though, Saul had his kingship taken away by God. David was anointed by God long before he was APPOINTED king. He didn't get appointed until Saul killed himself. I am glad someone else out there was actually listening and not deafened by the emotionalism. But on the other hand, the kids didn't know, it! LOL! The great part is that other than that it was a great inspiring speech...
