I enjoy this fella. Used to tweet links to my players and they loved it. Check it out. There are others that are all different lengths.

If you're coaching your team the right way, showing them a video clip to get their emotions going will not only be useless, but a waste of time you could be using on things that COULD actually help you win.
emotional tactics do nothing, except for maybe getting them nervous and shaky.
Before the game, get them calm and collected, get them thinking about how hard theyve been working and how prepared they are, and thinking about their responsibilities/how much fun they are about to have.

With all due respect, this site is much more useful and efficient when people respond according to the requests of the OP.
To add: In the past, I've used a scene from the movie Gladiator before. The scene where they all had to fight together, and Maximus told them "stay together!" The odds were against them, but they worked together and won a battle that was not intended for them to win.
Good Luck Coach.

We used to watch motivational videos the day before every game. The high school I went to (Mt. Carmel) won its 12th state title today. Not because of videos of course, but it certainly never made us shaky.

Wow - rbcrusaders you sound like one of the parents in the stands haha - almost at the same intellectual level as well... Anyways, I won't go there with you... I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong... To those of you who were positive - I appreciate it... and to the other one... get over yourself and learn to be a positive member of this society - we share here and help others... When I want your opinion I will let you know.... what an @$$clown by the way bro - you are only 8 days late to the party haha As far as being emotional - I agree to a point... You cannot successful play football while being emotional, however you can play with emotion... I coach and care for my players with emotion... and always will.... |

Noted. I will handle it thus from here forward.

And I know guys like Bill Walsh and Nick Saban do too, because it is from them that I hold this philosophy. I've seen both types of coaches. The emotional gimicks are just that. Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't get the boys fired up...but I've found that it really isn't even worth it. |

Why is it a gimmick to give them something to watch? give them some perspective of others struggling like they did and to see how they deal and react to obstacles in life? Show them something that touches them or strikes a chord... OR - use a video to REINFORCE what you have been teaching/coaching all year?  .... hmmmm.... I think the word choice of gimmick is incorrect... as is your opinion... |

I've found that some guys are fired up emotional types naturally and are good at that kind of thing, while other guys are pretty low key and they don't have that personality. It seems to me that most of the time the guys who talk about how "fire 'em up" speeches and videos are worthless are the ones who don't have that disposition. Not that it's a prerequisite for being a great coach, not even close, but it's nice to have some guys who can do it well. The kids eat it up, probably doesn't do much for you in the win column but it is a part of the experience for them. But not what the thread is about....this clip is great if your in an underdog type situation.

The videos work even better if they're relatable to the players. One of my coaches in high school was also the head of the audio-visual department. He made some great videos of past teams (including a few older brothers of players on our teams). He included past wins over the big dynasty team in our league. They were wildly successful in that they gave us an image to play up to; a level to practice up to. He also made a video based on clips from early in the year and preseason games. Many of us ended up watching this one over and over before each game in the fall.
It's one thing to tell your players, "look, Ray Lewis does it", and another thing entirely to tell them "look, our team has done this before". Even better: "you've done this before"
As a coach, one of the things I always make a priority is to build ties with the school audio-visual club. They're gonna make movies anyway, why not give them the opportunity to be a part of your success? One of the things we've discovered is that it's also a great recruiting tool.

We Just finished our season. We were the 7 seed and lost to the 3 seed. They beat us 34-0 earlier in the year. we lost to them in double over time this past weekend. They are also the 3 time defending state champion. We showed our kids 8 minutes for the ESPN piece that focused on the 20th anniversary of the Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson fight. We believed we were Buster Douglas and could beat the heavyweight champion. We were down 24-10 at half. Our kids just kept saying "we are Buster Douglas."
Great clip we found on youtube. |

The emotional gimicks are just that. Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't get the boys fired up...but I've found that it really isn't even worth it. Interesting you use Saban as an example - The first motivational videos I was aware of were from LSU while Saban was the coach. They often used clips from movies and worked in game footage and high energy music. I took a lot of ideas from those videos and produced motivational videos to show our team each Friday night. I am not sure if Alabama watches similar videos, but I would be surprised if they do not - and many, many programs do. As for ideas, there are many you can find. Vimeo is my favorite video site, and many college video staffs have accounts and share their motivational or highlight videos. You can also search YouTube for "motivation and football" and you will stumble across a lot of great stuff before you know it. By the way, my personal favorites for some great football motivation and highlight videos, in no particular order: Colorado Georgia/St. Pius High School - (same group of kids and the high school videos are every bit as good as the college ones) Oregon Ole Miss |

Here is a motivational clip that Duke football created and presented to the team before they left the hotel for Keenan Stadium. Many programs have weekly highlight and motivational vids show before games. Chat with any GA (especially a video GA), they spend countless hours putting stuff together each week to show.

Not sure if anyone can confirm these guys think motivational clips or movies are pointless, but lets say they did say it. Those coaches are dealing with a whole different beast especially as nfl coaches. And if that is their philosophy on this I can almost guerentee that they didn't feel this way until after they entered the nfl as assistants and hc's. Motivating professional athletes and 17 year old amateurs is uncomparable. And by the way NS is the last coach I would model myself after. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using proboards |

Throwing out walsh and saban's name made me think of the bar scene in Good Will Hunting...
"Yeah I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us- you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or is that your thing, you come into a bar, you read some obscure passage and then you pretend - you pawn it off as your own- your own idea just to impress some girls?"

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using proboards Some irony in the fact that you are using someone else's thoughts to articulate your own thought about a coach referencing another coach's way of doing things. Awesome point of the movie though. |
