My best friend gave this speech in high school and nailed it, this was ten years ago. 3 months ago he died of a lung infection at age 24. Anytime I want to remember or think about my boy Adam, I just turn this on and Al PAcino reminds me that you heal as a TEAM. Love this speech more than anything.
Mohamed Rachidi We are three now... you know what else has Three aspects... a triangle... but not just any triangle... an upside down triangle...Illuminati
Life hits hard sometimes.. today was one of my worst days ever... I just found out one of my familly member have cancer. Why does the bad things have to happen to the good persons...Its not easy its really not... I really feel bad at the moment and the only thing I can hold to is those speeches , so thank you! ;
I have 10 days till the my last exam in the college for my degree... It's so damn hard people... I dont want to enter into details, but it's so damn hard... I guess many of you know this from various aspects of your life, because if you didnt you wouldn't be here... BUT WE CAN FUCKING STAY DOWN and let life KICK THE SHIT OUT OF US, or we can CLIMB INCH BY INCH a fucking inch by inch...NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? I know what I will... I will go to my room right now, and go kick the shit out of that book and learn it inch by inch and GET MY DEGREE, I will be back here in a month to tell you did I succeded... GREETS FROM EUROPE
I have to disagree though. You have to make your own luck and by that I mean ''work hard and climb inch by inch with your fingernails''. If you don't achieve your goal, don't make excuses by saying ''we didn't have luck''. If you say you didn't have luck, it means you didn't work hard enough.
+AnkhiesPvP I respect bro. But if you keep saying that to yourself, nothing will ever happen. It's about what you do today, that will make a bigger impact than hoping for it to be done tomorrow. I'm not hating, mate. Just helping a brother out.
I'll be taking a test this sunday (haha, just realized the name of the movie again) and I will pass it. Then, next year, I'll be on the air force academy, studying and training to become a fighter pilot. This speech helps a lot to keep the focus, really
i have been going through a rough patch in my life lately and feeling lonely, but i gotta keep fighting! even if no one believes! Life really is a game of inches! Achieve your dreams and dont let anyone stop you.
Life isnt about dreams, its about living. The problem with the human race is the belief that life requires dreams, it does not. If you strive for dreams you will fold, that chasing mentality has destroyed me/my health over working trying to over achieve. Take it from one ill man, live your life and enjoy it, but forget about dreams, everything you need is around you
I see some of the comments are criticizing the speech for being un-original, cliche etc etc. Just FYI, a motivational speech doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, it just needs to motivate. Half of a good speech isn't even the words itself, it's how its delivered. A great speaker could talk for half an hour about the benefits of paper shopping bags over plastic ones and at the end people will be so psyched up, they'll go to the nearest supermarket and burn effigies of the managers until they switch. So don't read too much into the words, try to see the results. There are over a million views, almost four thousand likes and less than a hundred dislikes. Clearly most people who view it, find it inspirational. In other words, job well done.
Try to come up with something intelligent to share instead of being a spelling teacher. A statue was never raised in honor of a critic. I know how to spell, I was tired. Tell me something new. Then I'll be impressed.
I dont know what ya'll are talking about this is really motivating and inspiring to me and I kind of need these speeches right now no matter how cheesy or corny people think they are
Those inches are the minutes of our lives, cherish each minute, fight for it and make it memorable. Stay present, extend your hand to help and know that whatever happens it was a lesson for your mental and spiritual evolution. Keep evolving, time doesn't stand still and neither should you.
... "Because we know when we add up all those inches ... that's gonna make the FUCKING difference between WINNING AND LOSING! Between LIVING AND DYING!" Wow. If you can't get emotional over that, I just don't know what to tell you.
This speech works for every sport for example I'm in all star hockey and we were in the gold medal game losing 3-1 going in the 3rd period, so my coach played this speech for us while the intermission an we came out focused and won the game 5-3 so it's a really inspiring speech
My dad is currently dying from cancer.. so when i hear the line "when you get old in life things get taken away from you... that's just part of life" only now it really sinks in what that sentence really means.. life is a game of inches, cherish and fight for them all.
I listen to this everytime i gotta go drop a deuce. I need to get all psyched n listening to this dump inspiring speech makes me realise I'm game ready. ooooraahh!!!
the odd thing is that I had a dream with Al Pacino in it so I looked up this speech when I woke up...for all you in the gutter like me , we might as well give every inch to our liberty, and aspirations after all the inches we live with will either go to our plight or our fight, God Speed to you all.. See you at the finish line.
The way pacino is able to move me with that speech makes me think in some way the words maybey ring true to his own real life. Idk how else to explain pretending to be so effortlessly passionate. Then again he is a fuckin og actor but you get what im sayin.
You know deep down all those actors in the scene were in absolute awe of Pacino. In my mind they are thinking, "holy fuck this guy is a flawless actor".
Holy shit! That speech made me almost run down to the recruiters office and re-enlist for another 10 years! This and the first Independence Day movie speech were damn good motivational speeches!
Going into my hardest year of high school and the first day is tomorrow. I say its the hardest, not because school is difficult or that I hate homework, since almost everyone experiences school; its the fact that I'll be struggling with severe anxiety and derealization as I fight my way through the SAT and ACT and all the course work in between as an "advanced" student. Inch by inch... homework assignment by homework assignment...exam by exam....anxiety attack by anxiety attack....I will see this through to the end and I will not fail!
I used our school emailing system to send this clip to every single student in one of my classes along with a pump up speech of my own. Didn't realize the Professor and TAs got it too.. They had it open and playing when I walked in this morning. Love Exam week
Like I say, all the time, whenever ppl say : I lost faith in Humanity. ME: Fuck Dat! I'm a pragmatist (whatever that means) I only lose faith in the ppl who are negative all the time. Makes me wanna set a net and catch a trout;then I hold dat trout and smack the person inna face with the fish-tail and see if his/her common sense got knocked back into them!
Brilliant speech and performance by a masterful actor, Al Pacino and the coolest thing about it is it was ad libbed. Oliver Stone wrote a totally different speech that wasnt working. Pacino said turn off the camera and said gimme a minute.leaned on the wall put his head down and said Okay roll it.He ad libbed the speech. I talked to a guy who was on the cree for the shoot.AWESOME!!!!
Greatest speech I have ever heard. I am nobody in particular, I am not a speech writer or critic. I am not a teacher or professor. I am not a football player, but I get chills even the hundredth time I've watched it.
I am 34 , I am still doing ok but that part where he said about pissing off his money and putting away everyone he loved ..its me guys ..the margins for errors are indeed very small in life and I have also ended so far on the loosing side. However, I still wake up every morning, try to get together pieces of my life, motivate myself to go that inch because in the end life is beautiful and this is what it takes to be different and not to repeat those errors. Lost 7 years in this game of life, not going to loose even 7 days anymore
![I am a champion - the greatest speech ever [ENG SUB]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yX39J_YyKbs/mqdefault.jpg)

Carolina Fan and it sucks. So many can relate to this speech.
@Carolina Fan Same here....
"Three minutes to biggest battle..."
Gives four minute speech.
Life hits hard sometimes.. today was one of my worst days ever...

Thank you!
I know the feeling. Goodluck man!
harounj
thx man... as we all know it, part of all this is luck as well...but also a damn hard work if you wanna make somethin of yourself.
I have to disagree though. You have to make your own luck and by that I mean ''work hard and climb inch by inch with your fingernails''. If you don't achieve your goal, don't make excuses by saying ''we didn't have luck''. If you say you didn't have luck, it means you didn't work hard enough.
Goodluck bro I am in the same position as you are ! Hope you will succeed! Greetings from Bulgaria (;
First time I've ever seen this, made me tear up. Al Pacino is fantastic.
i still get goosebumps everytime this vid is playing..
this speech is so epic you will never quit trying to get better in life and what ever you do
three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives and I'm going to give a 4 minute speech.
ROFL .. But in all fairness, everyone was kindda engrossed in the speech
thats what he was talking about!!
you are smart bro.
+andydrewwww That's why they got scored on off the kickoff :)
lol you nailed it
This comment killed the Internet 😂😂😂😂
This speech is about life as much as it is about football.
Nolan Randall Captain Obvious says the obvious is very apparent.
That's what I'm here for.
Nolan Randall Indeed. 🤔
That's what I consider as a fantastic and practical leadership and management at once. Brilliant! !!!!!!!!!!!
"Either we heal as a team, or we will die as individuals"
Paul Kelly - Peace.
Perfect song for such as inspirational speech
Lisle Brathwaite what is the song?
Chad Halliday Peace by Paul Kelly
Lisle Brathwaite yes
im watching this because its leg day
Weapon X
Lmao! The ONLY day I need motivation.
Hold the line with your legs not your arms, they will get you far beyond what your arms may do for you. Just keep getting up, that's legs.
I listen to this every night before going to bed hoping tomorrow I will do something useful
life or youtube. The margin of error is small.
+AnkhiesPvP I respect bro. But if you keep saying that to yourself, nothing will ever happen. It's about what you do today, that will make a bigger impact than hoping for it to be done tomorrow. I'm not hating, mate. Just helping a brother out.

I’ve listened to this speech for years now at the gym and it still gets me pumped till this day!
I'm about to play the best game of fifa anyone has ever played
g did you win ??
Not gonna lie this speech always gets me fired up when I am feeling down and defeated.
Starts with "I don't know what to say really..." And then say one of best inspirational speeches ever!
I like the contrast of the intensity and raw emotion in the speech, with the relaxing, melodramatic music playing in the background. Really well done.
i have been going through a rough patch in my life lately and feeling lonely, but i gotta keep fighting! even if no one believes! Life really is a game of inches! Achieve your dreams and dont let anyone stop you.
You're not alone bruv. Dont give up ^_^
D'ont give up brotha , d'ont give in , there's always an answer to everything !
Life isnt about dreams, its about living. The problem with the human race is the belief that life requires dreams, it does not.

+Music Music That's the comment i've been waiting for. That puts it all into perspective and i 100% agree. Thank you
Moffstang no problem good sir, all the best
Every time life or work is kicking my ass. I listen to this speech and I get my head straight again and start fighting back. Keeping my head up.
I see some of the comments are criticizing the speech for being un-original, cliche etc etc. Just FYI, a motivational speech doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, it just needs to motivate. Half of a good speech isn't even the words itself, it's how its delivered.

I gave this speech to my cat now he's a lion
Hahahaha...
Damn mine turned into a kardashian

BITCHING QUEEN hahhhah
One of the greatest speeches of all time
My favorite. Great to here before the superbowl.
Says a lot about life itself.
Hear
+ken swift Hear*
Try to come up with something intelligent to share instead of being a spelling teacher. A statue was never raised in honor of a critic. I know how to spell, I was tired. Tell me something new. Then I'll be impressed.
ken swift Do not be sore about your mistakes my child. God save the queen
*Mistake
This scene alone deserves an Academy award for Pacino.
I dont know what ya'll are talking about this is really motivating and inspiring to me and I kind of need these speeches right now no matter how cheesy or corny people think they are
Those inches are the minutes of our lives, cherish each minute, fight for it and make it memorable. Stay present, extend your hand to help and know that whatever happens it was a lesson for your mental and spiritual evolution. Keep evolving, time doesn't stand still and neither should you.
It's the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch!!!!
Greatest half time speech! I still get goosebumps everytime I watch this!!!
Caludio Ranieri before ever Leicester match
Been listening this for years best speech ever!
... "Because we know when we add up all those inches ... that's gonna make the FUCKING difference between WINNING AND LOSING! Between LIVING AND DYING!"
Wow. If you can't get emotional over that, I just don't know what to tell you.

"I don't know what to say" and then yet gives one of the best motivational speeches ever! lol
Thanks to lovely Nick for all the speeches, chats and all and for putting me on this speech. 'We can fight our way back to the light'
"i pissed away all my money" am i the only one who can relate to this?..
Between two points I can. I'm Al....
Ah bro me too
Between two points
Yep women!
The only way to piss away your money
Goat speech. Life 💯 never gets old its almost 2022 and this shit still gives me goosebumps. “Inches”
Ought to be a Viagra or Cialis commercial, "We fight, for those inches!!"
I'm willing to die for that extra inch. Then I'd be on par with Bob and he won't make fun of me in the showers....True story.
RIP
One of the greatest.football speeches ever made... the concept of life and football was fascinating and the meaning was hit right on the head.
Dear Americans, I know we are divided as a nation right now..
We either heal as a team, NOW..... or we will die as individuals
My dad is currently dying from cancer.. so when i hear the line "when you get old in life things get taken away from you... that's just part of life" only now it really sinks in what that sentence really means.. life is a game of inches, cherish and fight for them all.
Says "I don't know what to say." And says the most epic speech ever. #justpaccinothings.
Coach played this for us before every Friday night. Still gives me shivers.
I don't even watch American football , but this scene gets my adrenaline pumping !
I listen to this everytime i gotta go drop a deuce.
I need to get all psyched n listening to this dump inspiring speech makes me realise I'm game ready. ooooraahh!!!
I dont even know how many times i have to watch or listen to this without getting goosebumps...
I get so pumped up by hearing this but as soon as I open a textbook I forget everything and go back to being lazy.
rab lmao same here
Pure motivation. Damn near shed a tear everytimd I hear this
Greatest speech of all fucking time.
///One.Lawless nope
My penis is 22" long but my foot is 6" longer away so I can't tuck my cuft in my sock,any ideas guys,anyone with the same sad situation?
the odd thing is that I had a dream with Al Pacino in it so I looked up this speech when I woke up...for all you in the gutter like me , we might as well give every inch to our liberty, and aspirations after all the inches we live with will either go to our plight or our fight, God Speed to you all.. See you at the finish line.

So sorry. :/
one of my absolute fav movie speeches of all time.
The way pacino is able to move me with that speech makes me think in some way the words maybey ring true to his own real life.
Idk how else to explain pretending to be so effortlessly passionate.
Then again he is a fuckin og actor but you get what im sayin.
One of most underrated movies of all time.
You know deep down all those actors in the scene were in absolute awe of Pacino. In my mind they are thinking, "holy fuck this guy is a flawless actor".
Cant get enough of this speech #lMotivationForLife
Look at all these young men 'Camera pans to 45 year old Dennis Quaid' rofl

Thank you for posting this, James! 😀

Going into my hardest year of high school and the first day is tomorrow.

greatest speech of all time
This helps me everyday when I have a game or when j work out. Who else feels like that???
Either we heal as a team, or we will die, as individuals
Best speech ever! Makes you want to get out and accomplish everything. Dreams are only dreams until you make them reality. Go get them :)

Haha
yessssss finally someone said it
"now i cant make you do it"
I used our school emailing system to send this clip to every single student in one of my classes along with a pump up speech of my own. Didn't realize the Professor and TAs got it too.. They had it open and playing when I walked in this morning. Love Exam week
Jesus, i could have stormed Normandy and defeated the Nazi's myself with this playing on my ipod. on repeat.
Had goose bumps watching this, great stuff
Tears every single f@#king time.
you got to consult a psychologist
Not sad , motivated.
Like I say, all the time, whenever ppl say : I lost faith in Humanity. ME: Fuck Dat! I'm a pragmatist (whatever that means) I only lose faith in the ppl who are negative all the time. Makes me wanna set a net and catch a trout;then I hold dat trout and smack the person inna face with the fish-tail and see if his/her common sense got knocked back into them!
An amazing speech. No matter what you do in life, this should inspire you. If not there is no hope for you.
That 6 inches in front of your face tho, nohomo
***** I hope you're joking? Have you ever played football? Everything he said pertains to football and has nothing to do with dicks. Wow.
Great pregame speech! Story of my life.
My girlfriend went somewhere else looking for that extra inch
Brilliant speech and performance by a masterful actor, Al Pacino and the coolest thing about it is it was ad libbed. Oliver Stone wrote a totally different speech that wasnt working. Pacino said turn off the camera and said gimme a minute.leaned on the wall put his head down and said Okay roll it.He ad libbed the speech. I talked to a guy who was on the cree for the shoot.AWESOME!!!!
Chills, every fucking time.
Greatest speech I have ever heard. I am nobody in particular, I am not a speech writer or critic. I am not a teacher or professor. I am not a football player, but I get chills even the hundredth time I've watched it.
Pacino the 🐐
Al Pacino another memorable performance.
Al fucking Pacino .... he is the man !
I get goose bumps every minute and every second of this speech
I am 34 , I am still doing ok but that part where he said about pissing off his money and putting away everyone he loved ..its me guys ..the margins for errors are indeed very small in life and I have also ended so far on the loosing side. However, I still wake up every morning, try to get together pieces of my life, motivate myself to go that inch because in the end life is beautiful and this is what it takes to be different and not to repeat those errors. Lost 7 years in this game of life, not going to loose even 7 days anymore

Really sends a shiver up the spine this does, every time.
Anybody else noticed the GREAT Jim brown?
