This team is actually legit. They went 10-3 that year, 7-0 in conference play in Cincinnati and their quarter back is now the NCAA d2 all time leading passer with like 15k+ yards. Guess these speeches worked lol
For all those asking, the prayer is as follows: Lord, I am only one, but I am one, I cannot do everything, but I can do something, and that, which i'm about to do tonight, with your help, I will do, THANK GOD I PLAY FOR INDIAN HILL! - a current Indian Hill Football player who's team still repeats this prayer.
This gave me goosebumps ! I'm 64 years old and it brought me back to a time in high school when I needed the structure of football in my life and a closeness with friends I'll never forget.
Anything where you face the shit together. A war, a kitchen, the police (as police or as crimina), a hood playground, hell, even a regular school with bullys or shit parents or teachers...Lots of places.
Soccer too believe it or not , we do soccer players have the same type of bond with each other coming from someone who has played soccer in multiple nations including the US
@@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.
The best part of this speech was that he didn't need to name the book. The point of this speech was faith and heart...internal attributes/qualities that humans can conjure to raise their spirits, awareness, and sometimes acuity. Anyone arguing about the accuracy of his story missed the point.
+MAG ATL Well said. I'm weeping as I type this because rarely, both in your comment and the video itself, has a message been so well put in so few words.
BigBlack81 - Tears are literally running down my face right now. My whole life I've been negative towards religion. It's not the religion that is powerful. It's the state of mind. I'm in shock. A two minute video has shown me more than a lifetime of explanations.
Man, I heard this speech at least twice a week for 3 months before finishing my degree. 6 years later and I felt that energy again. I am sobbing of happiness.
greatness comes in quick segments in a persons life ,its moments like these that can define an individuals life . this team lost the game in question , but they won something bigger than a game . they won a philosophy that would help them win many battles to come in their lives where much more is a stake than one football game .
this is from samuel 16: the lord sent samuel to Jesse who was the father of David. whom the lord chose over his brothers to be king. great speech and prayer nonetheless. amen!!!
Negative people are the reason this world is in the shape its in today i am glad to hear this speech even if all the fact were not correct. His job was to motivate the kids and win or lose they were motivated.
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.
Now my sophomore year in college. I can say stuff like this makes me wanna play this game one more time. And high school kids who don't know if they wanna play after high school I highly encourage you to chase you dream. I didn't and I regret it so much. Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.
Chills… pure and beautiful chills ran throughout my body. Moments like these are what stay with young players all across the nation throughout our lives from B squad middle to Homecoming games in our Senior years. I thank GOD for Coaches like this man. Helping to raise & lead these young men to victory and success in sports and life.
When I was going through some of the rough patches in my life, this speech and prayer got me through . I said it every day and believed every word that came from the coach. I’m healed and I’m better because of the intangible inside of my heart. Thank u coach.
Me three! I not only cried, but I got chills up my spine the second that coach initiated his team into a prayer. This is very motivational! Accurate or innacurate, I loved this speech, because he wanted to bring out the very best in his players.
When you say that Im not pushing my beliefs, then you do, to a bunch of young kids and make them believe that god gives a crap if one team of chistians beats another team of christians,,,,you are full of it.
This is sports motivation speech 101! Start with an inspirational story. Define how that story applies. Point out the challenges. Point out how challenges will be overcome. Increase volume and time to an explosive finish.
Our god is a GREAT GOD and have faith and GOD can help you win any BATTLE no matter what the Battle... The football game, the National Wrestling Championship. The Super Bowl or Cancer.... NO BATTLE IS TOO BIG....HAVE FAITH...NEVER GIVE UP AND ALWAYS SHOW UP WITH YOUR SWORD.....
The greatest motivational speech I ever heard in my life was quite simple "Guys, I don't care what your motivation for running this race is, whether it be for your team, the past members, us coaches, your dog, your parents, or yourself. Just get it done"
The head coach on a high school team I coached with before the game would some times add an emotional speech but every game he would say something reminding them of the time, sacrifices, and hard work we all have done to prepaid for this night., Believe in yourself, believe in each other, and believe in your coaches, let's go.
I played for Three Rivers around this time this speech was given. I’m a grown 32 year old man and I now realize why they kicked our butt every year. This speech motivated me for the day. God bless!
I watch this everyday, and there is something about the energy put into the speech and prayer that keeps me motivated and going. And I'm not a religious person at all. Also, love the Friday Night Lights soundtrack going on in the back.
watched this on my last game of the season for freshmen and showed other of my teammates and are record was 0-8 but on the last game we won 20 to 0 I guess it was a good motivational speech
And that is why i love football. Its not the hitting or getting the cheerleaders. Its the heart of the game. Thats why football is attributed to life so often because it coorelates with each other so well. Love it!
Players and assistant coaches hanging on the Head coaches’ every word. Teenage boys on the cusp of becoming men, leaving their school days behind and moving on to a new chapter in their lives. The sport that brought them all together is likely about to end after the season and they share one more game together as a team. The bond they share is evident in their reaction to the coaches’ words and prayer - this is what sport does, this is the power it has. I would guess that some of them will even have their own families and children now and whatever each of them are doing today I would imagine they often think back to these times and this day and look on it with pride and happiness. The coach seems like an amazing man, his players would have left everything out on the field for him and his team, god bless them all.
In the end, when a team creates such a collective mindset during a game, it wins regardless of the score board. That's what's so beautiful about team sports
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.
Punish them until they see that it’s a privilege playing make them hold 10 minute planks is one falls everyone falls and start all over remind them it’s a game that involves a team there is no I in team
But he has to teach the right stuff. David was not the son of Samuel, Samuel was never king, and David did not have 8 brothers either. The sentiment was good, but if he needs to tell the story right...ha
ffs a perfect example of an American calling USA the greatest nation (i assume you mean the United States). just because football is popular in USA doesn’t mean that THIS VERY INSPIRING VIDEO HAS ANYTHKNG TO DO WITH AMERICA. SO STFU YOUR COUNTRY SUCKS, GO AND PREVENT SOME SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, HELP THE THOUSANDS OF HOMELESS AND START CREATING A SECURITY NET FOR THE POOR YOU DUMB FUCK
damn to be honest i actually got goosebumps during this, i really love football and this is an amazing speech if my coach said this my team would be so pumped!
@@mridge01 It's from Samuel 16: The lord sent Samuel to Jesse, Father of David...He didn't say it quiet correctly, but the spirit of what he meant was there.
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...
There’s just something about the sport of football man. It’s so passionate. I’d say high school football is the most passionate. Sometimes when you hear stuff like this it makes your morrale jump very high and you play like you don’t even care if you would die on the field. You play for your fellow comrades your teammates and coaches.
botched.... who cares...... the reality is this... he had 50 kids eating out of the palm of his hand... he gave them something to believe! 8 years later do you think those kids think of the story or the coach that made them believe they could win!
Indeed the son of Jesse. And he placed his trust in the lord after the uncircumcised Philistine mocked the people of the lord for multiple days in a row.
Some of these negative comments.. if you have nothing nice to say LEAVE! This is so much greater than winning the game. So what if they didn't win? It doesn't matter... The beauty of this is that you can feel their emotions, it is chilling. I strongly believe that if you believe in God you already have the greatest advantage. I am an A and B student at a university, I have failed exams that I prayed for... Yet, I failed to study for that particular exam. You cannot depend on everything to be given to you. It is about meeting Him half way, the other team must of just been better and practiced harder. It is what is inside that is rewarding and peaceful. Do not comment on stuff if you're just going to offend me and the other people who have strong faith. Thank you...
I played in HS I remember those talks right before game time. However I never seen or heard something like that it was powerful and Deep...Nice job coach...
Lord let us be humble, and close as a team as we huddle together today, we ask that you, with your guiding power, to give us the strength, to withstand injury, and withstand the test, and when the game is over, lord let us know we played our best! always loved the pumped up prayer

Football really is a magical sport man, I don’t think any other sport has this kind of brotherhood. This is just so special
Hockey but football is the only comparable one.

Players and assistant coaches hanging on the Head coaches’ every word. Teenage boys on the cusp of becoming men, leaving their school days behind and moving on to a new chapter in their lives. The sport that brought them all together is likely about to end after the season and they share one more game together as a team.

I think that is American footballs greatest asset compared to every other major pro sport. It’s a game of passion that invokes passion.

amazing and inspirational speech!! bravo!!
Great speech Coach Arcuri!!! Much Respect!
Yes but he was mistaken David was the son of Jesse who was not a king. David was annointed by Samuel a prophet and judge
if they lost they still knew they gave it they're all that day im sure thats what matters

Very well said. Its all about believing in yourself.
Yes, I believe those kids will remember the "pre-game speech". I remember many of my coaches "pep talks", from 33 years ago.
Yes they remember an I can bet at least half practice what they heard in their daily life
David was the son of Jesse.Good speech though.
You’re right, but he really got his point across. Great coach man.
And Saul was the king David was chosen to replace, because of Saul's wickedness and disobedience. Samuel was the prophet God sent to call David.
When he said it, my eyebrows raised in confusion 🤨 but it definitely got me hyped
Also, Samuel was not a king
Indeed the son of Jesse. And he placed his trust in the lord after the uncircumcised Philistine mocked the people of the lord for multiple days in a row.
Made my eyes water and goosebumps
Boy you don’t wanna play against a team that is pumped up like this before a game
Whats the song in the background
They would go on to lose 72-0 to the team with the D1 players...
Ik it’s a joke but for anyone wondering they actually lost 31-28
Still watching this years and years later
What a great coach teaching a great life lesson too.
What did he say at the end? But best football speech I've heard
Seth Bayless “Thank god i play for Indian Hill”
-High school in Cincinnati
Some of these negative comments.. if you have nothing nice to say LEAVE! This is so much greater than winning the game. So what if they didn't win? It doesn't matter... The beauty of this is that you can feel their emotions, it is chilling. I strongly believe that if you believe in God you already have the greatest advantage. I am an A and B student at a university, I have failed exams that I prayed for... Yet, I failed to study for that particular exam. You cannot depend on everything to be given to you. It is about meeting Him half way, the other team must of just been better and practiced harder. It is what is inside that is rewarding and peaceful. Do not comment on stuff if you're just going to offend me and the other people who have strong faith. Thank you...
I played in HS I remember those talks right before game time. However I never seen or heard something like that it was powerful and Deep...Nice job coach...
Lord let us be humble, and close as a team as we huddle together today, we ask that you, with your guiding power, to give us the strength, to withstand injury, and withstand the test, and when the game is over, lord let us know we played our best!
always loved the pumped up prayer
