      Honestly Coach, if I was on your team, after this speech. I would probably set a national record of pancakes in a first half. I led the charge and honored of being a part of history of bringing American Football to Ireland with being considered of being on Team USA for the first ever American Football game in Dublin, Ireland. Now the FBS will go to my location of where possibly my HS Portion of my Football career should have ended in either Rome, Italy or in Dublin, Ireland if I didn't have a season and career ending injury. At 19 years old, I have became a pioneer of the sport that I love so much. That's something that I can hang my hat on if I don't come back from this injury.
      All of this came from 8 official Varsity plays. At least I know and God knows how much I did good for the sport.

      I listened to this speech years ago when I reached the finals of a doubles tournament in tennis. We were NOT expected to win, our opponents were the strong favourites, I listened to your speech walking from my house to the courts and felt absolutely fearless afterwards. This feeling stayed with me the entire match and we won STRONGLY in straight sets. Now whenever I watch this video back, no matter what's going on in my life I can draw strength from it again and again thanks to you.

    Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

    “Today gentlemen, I’m honored to coach you. I’m more honored to take you into the field of battle. There is another honor to bestowed upon you. That is the answer that comes with this question.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    That’s right and I need you to remember that all throughout this game. I will conquer what has not been conquered. Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe what others have doubted. I will always endeavor the prestige, honor, and respect of my team. I have trained my mind and my body will follow.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    I will acknowledge the fact that my opponents do not expect me to win, but I will never surrender. Weakness will not be in my heart. I will look to my comrades and those who brought me into this world and those who have trained me and I will draw strength from them.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    I will gladly go into the field of battle. And I will move, groove, and do everything that I can do and I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal. And when I get there, I will arrive violently. I will rip the heart of my enemy and leave it bleeding on the ground, because he cannot stop me!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    To my side I have comrades. Comrades who have been with me through thick and thin, through sacrifice, through blood, through sweat, through tears. Never will I let them fall. Never will I let them down and I will never leave an enemy behind, because our opponent does not know my heart.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    No one will deny me. No one will defy me. And no one will tell me who and what I am and can be. Belief will change my world. It has moved continents, and countries, and put man on the moon. And it will carry me through this battle.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    Defeat, Retreat those are not in my words. I do not understand those definitions. I do not understand when things go wrong. I do not understand mistakes. But I do understand this. I understand victory and I understand never surrendering. No matter how bad things go, my heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    Today will be that day, not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here in your house and in your home.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    History will remember me and I will not have to worry about him being kind. I will define myself! I will write my own praises! And no one will tell me what I can and cannot be! I will never go home, not without giving it everything that I got.
    Cause WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
