HOOSIERS: Coach Dale's Pre-Game Motivational Speech

[chuckHart]

America Needs a Norman Dale type of speech.

[PCTManOrBust]

One of my favorite sports movies of all time, this pregame speech never gets old!

[curtissharpe]

This speech is not only motivational but true in sports as in life!

This is a great film that flies under the radar. If you ain't seen it and you get the chance, watch it. You will not be disappointed!

This is a speech about life! Remembering the fundamentals, putting your effort and concentration to playing to your potential! My stepdad sat me down when i was 6 years old and made me watch this movie! I will always carry this scene with me. Im 33 years old now. I went through 3 major career changes. 7 years as a teacher and basketball coach. 3 years as a bread baker and restaurant manager, and the last 3 years as a car painter. Rose to the top in all 3 fields, and this speech applies to them all. Focus on fundamentals, and perform to your potential. Theres nothing you cant accomplish if you do those things. Literally you can do anything that you desire to do! Its in the want, its in the try!

My favourite actor. I love every Gene Hackman performance.

Every time I see this scene, just about everyone I know in general, especially with me leading of course, claps along in rhythm with these guys, and I throw in the “Let’s Go” along in there. 😤😤💪🏻🏀

"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be"! This line stuck to me as an 8 year old kid, and has carried me throughout my adult life.

Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, there fancy uniforms! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great scene from a classic movie. Gene Hackman was the best guy to play coach.

[EBUNNY]

Makes me think of "The Natural." Love it.

The fight song you can faintly hear in the background is from my alma mater, Southport High School in Indianapolis.
