Special thanks to Coach Schlossnagle and the TCU Athletics Department.
Years later this still gives me chills
Same. This video got me out of my depression of needing Tommy John surgery ten years ago
9 yrs later for me
@@noorsherfawi415 Whenever I have kids, I'll definitely be showing my son this video
More like 11 years later, my highschool baseball coach played this for us my sophomore year and I'll never forget it. The good thing about sports is that even though you may stop playing someday, it'll always help guide throughout your entire life whether that be finding the confidence to go after a new job or figuring out how to balance adulthood as a young man. Sports taught me how to be competitive in whatever I do and how important it is to stay healthy throughout your entire life. For that I am forever grateful to God for giving me the opportunity of getting to be an athlete in my childhood days and luckily throughout my college days 🙏🏼

My dog listened to this and now he's a wolf
Cole M.
😂
Unbelievable comment 🤣
ahahahhaha
The grind has fallen :(. TCU is getting rid of the word freshmen Bc it’s too offensive
...spot on Cole M - great comment...
Still one of the best motivation videos out there
For sure !!!
"luck is the last dying wish for those why believe that winning can happen by accident. sweat, on the other hand, is for those who know it's a choice." such a great line
"the laws of physics are merely a suggestion"
gets me every time.
Commented on this two summers ago. I was just a sophomore in highschool, channel name Fornix Cribby. After that summer, waking up every day, and facing "The Grind", I can finally say that I have made it. I was given scholarship to UCLA, after 3 months of no responses from TCU, I decided I would take the step towards becoming part of the Bruin squad, only 3 days before heading up to the campus to sign, I was called by a TCU Scout, he said that he had wanted to meet with me, the day I was supposed to go to the UCLA campus. I immediately booked the trip to Texas, and now am proud to be a part of the 2017 squad at TCU. Can't wait to feel the grind more and more, love it every day. Go Hornfrogs!
Quickfr8 grats bud hard work pays off. the grind is never over, however.
Quickfr8 Congrats. I hope to take a very similar path as yours. See you in the MLB!
+Quickfr8 hell go. Till hell freezes over! Then fight them on ice!
Quickfr8 good for you man
Quickfr8 Where are you now in your life?
As a forme baseball player. This video helped me so much during my career, I worked my ass off at a state champion contender high school for four years and eventually earned a scholarship to the University of Kansas to play. I lost that scholarship because I lost my way, hit the bars way too often and hit the books less than I should have. For all of you that still have the PRIVELEGE of playing the game, take it from me, do not take it for granted. No matter how talented you are, how hard you can throw, how well you hit it can be taken from you at any point. I've been out for a year and I miss the game more than anything in the world. All of you high school kids working your way to the next level work your fucking ass off because when you sign those papers it's the best feeling in the world. But it doesn't stop there guys. It's only the beginning. Remember that
Damn bro that was touching. People make mistakes though it's life so don't be too hard on yourself. Are you still gonna play at a JC or try out for an independent league team?
+Drue Bradley I love the honesty. Dont give up man. There is a reason you got that far.
Drue Bradley love it man
Thank you for that I’ve been getting in trouble at school and that helps me to get good grades and behave good I’m 14
I've played baseball since I was able to pick up a bat, and this motivational speech breaks the barrier beyond the game, and relates to my life. All these years later, as I struggle to "Grind" through my path in becoming a doctor, this speech still holds meaning, and pushes me.
I am starting MED SCHOOL this fall - for most people being a doctor is NOT worth it. i'm 25.. I have 4 years of med school n ill be in 250k of debt while studying 80 hours a week. I want to do cardiothoracic surgery - that's 8 YEARS of residency training until you can get a full license (6 year surgery + 2 year fellowship). Ill be THIRTY SEVEN when I get my first actual job and start paying off my loans. I am pretty athletic and there is NO way i'm giving up my body even with what's in store. the only hope I have is ironically NOT the money, job security, social standing, etc i MIGHT get if I follow through and succeed - it's the respect, the adherence, and the love of the JOURNEY.. the GRIND. Can't wait!
Good luck to you
+royheels1110 God Bless you keep on track and stay the course.
royheels1110 hey man how’s that going currently , 5 almost 6 years later
7 years! What’s the update?
I really want to know your situations now :) nice comment!!
These words can be applied to anything in life. Not just athletics, this is true for academics, career advancement, the pursuit of a passion. These words are incredible.
"You figure that out on your own?"
Rise and shine.
6 a.m. and your hand can't make it to the alarm clock before the voices in your head start telling you that it's too early, too dark and too cold to get out of bed. Aching muscles lie still in rebellion pretending not to hear your brain commanding them to move. A legion of voices is shouting their unanimous permission for you to hit that snooze button and go back to dreamland. But you didn't ask for their opinion. The voice you have chosen to listen to is one of defiance. The voice that says there was a reason you set that alarm in the first place. So sit up, put your feet on the floor and don't look back because we've got work to do.
Welcome to the grind.
For what is each day but a series of conflicts between the right way and the easy way. 10.000 streams fan out like a river delta before you, each one promising the path of least resistance. Thing is, you're headed upstream, and when you make that choice, when you decide to turn your back on what's comfortable and safe and what someone called common sense, well that's day one. From there it only gets tougher, so just make sure this is something you want because the easy way out will always be there, ready to wash you away, all you have to do is pick up your feet...
But you aren't going to, are you? With each step comes the decision to take another. You are on your way now, but this is no time to dwell on how far you've come. You are on a fight against an opponent you can't see but oh you can feel among your heels cant you? feel him breathing down your neck. You know what that is? That's you. Your fears, your doubts, and insecurities, all ganged up like a firing squad ready to shoot you out of the sky. But don't lose heart, while they are not easily defeated they are far from invincible.
Remember, this is the grind, a battle royale between you and your mind, your body and the devil on your shoulders telling you this is just a game, this is just a waste of time, your opponents are stronger than you. Drown out the voice of uncertainty with the sound of your own heartbeat, burn away your self-doubt with the fire deep beneath you. Remember what we are fighting for and never forget that momentum is a cruel mistress, she can turn on a dime with the smallest mistake, she is ever searching for the weak place in your armor, that one tiny thing you forgot to prepare for. So as long as the devil is hiding the details the question remains: Is that all you got? Are you sure?... And when the answer is yes. When you have done all you can to prepare yourself for battle, then it's time to go forth and bravely face the enemy, and the enemy within.
Only now you must take that fight into the open, into hostile territory. You are a lion in a field of lions, all humming the same elusive prey with the desperate starvation that says victory is the only thing that can keep you alive. So believe that voice that says that you can run a little faster and you can throw a little harder, that for you, the laws of physics are merely a suggestion.
Luck is the last dying wish of those who wanna believe that winning can happen by accident, sweat, on the other hand, is for those who know its a choice. So decide now, because destiny waits for no man.
And when your time comes and a thousand different voices are trying to tell you: you are not ready for it, listen instead to that lone voice of dissent, one that says you are ready, you are prepared, its all up to you know.
So rise and shine.
Funny thing is, this is exactly how my life is. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday I get up at 5:50 do a morning workout with my trainer, then head off to school. I am a 16 year old Sophomore from Newport Beach. Everyone thinks we get anything we want just because we are rich, no, I have worked for everything I have EARNED. And I wouldn't be where I am without this video. TCU is my goal, I have some interests from bigger schools, like UCLA, for baseball. But unless I get myself into TCU I am not satisfied, go HORNFROGS!
Jesse Flores he's still putting in the work, so why not leave him be?
Jesse Flores Seriously, he's one of the few teenagers out there who not only has goals, but is taking the correct steps to achieve those goals. Most kids these days would rather sit and watch tv or bs on the computer or go out and cause trouble. We should take that into account, and be happy that there are still a few kids out there who are headed up stream, chasing success, rather than waiting on opportunity to come to them.
Push towards it man. I was a slow swimmer at the end of a year last year. I told my self that I was going to make the division 2 swim team. So I got up every day during my summer and pushed myself until my shoulders gave out. Dropped 2 seconds in my 100 freestyle and now I'm swimming for the team. I get up Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:30 am for practices, lift 4 days a week, and swim 9 times per week
did you get an offer from TCU?
@@macsurles781199% sure it’s Nick Lodolo
Im a 14 year old going into highschool. My only goal is and has been to make my schools baseball team. I told my self I would do whatever it takes and acquire every skill i need. I then realized that what i was missing wasnt strength or speed, it was motivation. I have watched this every day multiple times because after watching this I am reminded of my goals and have new found energy which helps me reach my goals. I will work hard this summer and do everything I can. Wish me luck!
This video brings me back to my glory days of baseball. 2012-2014 era
"Luck is the last dying wish of those who want to believe that winning can happen by accident"
Gold
Luck is the last dying wish of those who wanna believe that winning can happen by accident. Sweat, on the other hand, is for those who know it’s a choice.” Is such a hard line
the day after my highschool team got back from 3rd in state, we were up at the field at 6am preparing for next season. this video is exactly right. Winning isnt luck, its a choice driven by self-motivation. If you really want something, go get it.
This may just be the best motivational baseball video ever made.
I still come back to this video for motivation all these years later! Thanks for uploading this!
i turned 20 one week ago today. graduated HS at 19. red shirting my freshmen year just to train. JuCo for 2 years. D1 ball for 2 more. Ill be at the pros by 26. can not wait to see the look on everyones face.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I've been listening to this every morning since I first came across it. It's so true and so realistic and really so motivating. Awesome. Awesome job.
10 years later I made it thank you this video helped me in the weak moment. I made it !!! Next goal!!!
This is perhaps one of the best motivational vids this humble Soul has ever seen. My wolf listened to this and now he's King Kong!
Probably the thousand time watching this & it never fails to give me goosebumps,
I used to excel at baseball. But I quit for a stupid reason, and I sacrificed a possible college scholarship for baseball. I regret that. Don't make the same mistake as me. Don't quit on your goals when it gets tough. Push through and achieve the greatness that you deserve!!
honestly the most inspirational video i have ever seen! this is why i love the game, it pushes you to ur fullest and you win as a team and lose as a team theres no point in looking in the past cuz u cant change a previouse inning, only go up to that plate and step on the other teams throat and show them no matter what they do u and your team can to twice as good and score twice as much. you have to prove yourself in this sport which is fantastic because when u work as a family on one team u WIN!
This was amazing. I’ve listened to it 10x in a row - even after my workout. Excellent job.
I love this video so much, I have shown it to the field hockey team I coach so many times. They've almost memorized the words!
My coach told me to watch this and I love it
Gotta thank synduit for bringing me here❤️🙏🏼
A decade later and I still come back to remember the Mission...
This is great. I wish my college team had seen this - back in the day. It would have helped us to fine tune that all-important voice that speaks all day long to each of us.
This video has taken on a new meaning for me… I’ve watched it for years to motivate me to run, to get up for daily boot camp, etc. but today it’s motivating me to fight to help my dad through multiple cancers and health struggles! While recently I would watch it and feel like I failed because I know I have that drive but haven’t been able to apply it to personal fitness…I flipped a mental switch tonight that while I’m not crushing it exercising, I have this same determination to help my dad with his cancer and all of his treatments that are never ending! So while I’m not crushing it and ending up in a certain smaller size of clothes, I know I’m devoting my motivation to family and I will never regret that decision!! Thank you for this video! Also, I love the horned frogs!!
I think everyone needs to watch this for whatever motivates them…I sent to all my friends with the same sentiment… I want them to watch without just the fitness/sports lens….this sentiment translates to all walks of life!
Stay strong
The part that gets me is when he is talking about the voice in your head that's telling you, you can run faster and you can throw harder.
The video that got me through high-school finals 10 years ago❤️
I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this video before my training runs.
Yesterday our team won the state championship, Thank you for motivating us to work hard and stay on the grind all year long.
In 2021, this is still my favorite video on RUclips.
My favorite morning motivation. I recall countless 4am wake ups and walking over to the recreation facility and getting in a good swim work out. I'd use this video to quiet the mind and silence the ego.
I want to listen to this before every practice so i know work pays off. the amount of work you put in when no one is watching is key
Holy shit this video gives me thee chills and the inspiration to work and never give up and not listen to those who dought me and to believe in my self. Man only if could play for TCU
This is the original video production of one of the greatest motivational audios ever created.
i got chills at the end when he said "and when your time comes, and a thousand different voices are trying to tell you you're not ready for it, listen instead to that lone voice of descent that says you are ready, you are prepared, its all up to you now"
one of my all time favs
amazing. rare to find awesome baseball videos like this.
This is Epic my new best motivational video
This still gets me rowdy. Don't even like baseball, but the same principles apply. Love the process, love the grind.
From there it only gets tougher, so just make sure this is something you want, because the easy way out will always be there ready to wash you away, all you have to do is pick up your feet... but you aren't going to are you? with each step comes the decision to take another, your on your way now, but this is no time to dwell on how far you’ve come.
This made me realize... While we all sit here and watch this video...someone is working hard for that same goal we all share... Great vid
I come back to this video regularly, thanks tcu
best motivation-video I have ever seen
Love all the TCU baseball videos! Can't wait for a 2014 video!
He means this video wakes him up in the morning. Every morning he wakes up and watches this, and get motivated to take on the day.
I watch this every day before a game.... Really pumps me up.....
I get chills when I watch this...this is our year
this is my favorite wake up video
Where are all the recent comments? The grind is never over and the comments shouldn't be eathier
This guys voice.
It is so epic. It gets you so focused on the video but his speec also speaks the truth.
And the music just adds to the epicness.
So for these reasons, I do listen to this and not for a baseball game. Just to help me get through my day no matter what.
The 150 dislikes are from a Baylor fan.
my brother is on this team and im so damn proud of him... he has come so far.. and this video is badass
This literally gives me the goosebumps every single time i watch it.
my little chihuahua passed by when i was watching this video... he listened everything.... NOW HE IS A PITBULL.... A BADASS PITBULL!
"Look other videos, I'mma let you finish, but TCU The Grind is the most motivational video of all time!"
I swear i've watched this 35 times and every time i do i get the chills.
Gonna start listening to this ever morning
This has been my alarm for a while now. It's perfect to hear this waking up.
It’s still my alarm clock
I watch this before EVERY tournament/ Highschool games! It gets me PUMPED!!
NoFap brought me here.
T J Rhoads 1 :(
Was stupid enough to look at just 1 picture yesterday and then it went onwards from there...
The Priest of RUclips awe man! Its alright bro i failed twice before reaching this point, just learn and move forward
***** woah man nice! im on like day 185 or so..its really a great life
***** yeah man we all have them, sometimes i think to myself what if i just dove back into that life? Then i think about the life i have now i think, why the fuck would i do that? Lol
+TJ R3535 hey I've never made it past day 15 here and u guys are in three digits😧😧would love some advice :)
Whether you play baseball or not here is a very powerful message here. I think some of you are missing that point. The message can apply not only to athletes but in life in general. I play multiple sports and certainly use this as motivation in all 3. I encourage you to open your mind to the message rather than the visuals....perhaps then you'll truely understand.
Man do I love this video! Gets me ready for anything
This is my new inspiration to train harder.
This is my favourite video to get into the groove and start working.
Burn away your self doubt and go forth into LIFE with all you got. Hail All Hail TCU
it all starts somewhere man. keep it up, youll be fit and chiseled in no time.
I could listen to this all day! Definitely a good pre-workout speech.
baseball tends to get into your head more like theres more slumps where u wanna quit and you feel like you can't do anymore. and you're right, really conditioning depends on your coach.
Tryouts are this week, and our coach showed us this
This is what started it all for me!
for the next 3 months this will be played in my ears in the preparations for the nationals in powerlifting!
Optimus Prime just made me do my dishes without even saying the word "dishes".
Welcome to The Grind!
For what its each day this series of conflicts between the right way and the easy way
Ten thousand streams spread out like a river delta before you, each one
promising the path of least resistance.
Thing is, you're headed upstream.
12 years later still coming back
thats legit. i don't even play sports anymore and i got the goosebumps
Still watch this before every season
The only opponent you should fear is yourself. Because unlike another opponent they know your every move so if you know your abilities you will be successful, baseball mentally is what you make it. Good luck bro
1 word: Inspirational!
Man I love this! I play Jr Hockey here in Canada and before EVERY workout and EVERY game I put this on! I honestly feel like it makes me play better! It just fires me up!
This will be in my mind reminding me to keep pushing myself no matter what o and thank you TCU
This is so much more powerful without all the baseball visualizations. Just listen to this and imagine it for yourself.
I need to know when the new one comes out. They have been my anthem for the past two years
glad i found this...still could have used it 2 years ago
goosebumps............crazy everytime
listened to this probably 30 times, but actually hearing it before your about to do somthing big! My god my body has never felt so cold. Literally began to shiver it gave me the chills. never happened to me before. holy crap though
Look "How Bad Do You Want It", I'm a let you finish, but TCU: The Grind is one of the most motivational videos of all time!!
Still one of the best motivationals out there
This gives me the chills every time.
after "quiet confidence" and this, can't wait to see the video for this year
"Believe the voice that says you can run a little faster, and you can throw a little harder, and that for you the laws of physics are merely a suggestion. Luck is the last dying wish for those who want to believe that winning can happen by accident. Sweat on the other hand is for those who know that winning is a choice." This quote means everything to me, and a reason I am on First Team All American and going to be a sophomore this year.
Thank God for The Grind
this is so inspirational
