    Hello I would super like to correct those who watch this video. The team name is the LELAND CHARGERS. My name is Coach Johnathan Flowers. Yes that is my real last name. I hope you enjoyed the speech. Very honored by all your support

      Honestly Coach, if I was on your team, after this speech. I would probably set a national record of pancakes in a first half. I led the charge and honored of being a part of history of bringing American Football to Ireland with being considered of being on Team USA for the first ever American Football game in Dublin, Ireland. Now the FBS will go to my location of where possibly my HS Portion of my Football career should have ended in either Rome, Italy or in Dublin, Ireland if I didn't have a season and career ending injury. At 19 years old, I have became a pioneer of the sport that I love so much. That's something that I can hang my hat on if I don't come back from this injury.
      All of this came from 8 official Varsity plays. At least I know and God knows how much I did good for the sport.

      I listened to this speech years ago when I reached the finals of a doubles tournament in tennis. We were NOT expected to win, our opponents were the strong favourites, I listened to your speech walking from my house to the courts and felt absolutely fearless afterwards. This feeling stayed with me the entire match and we won STRONGLY in straight sets. Now whenever I watch this video back, no matter what's going on in my life I can draw strength from it again and again thanks to you.

    It's kind of sad that many people do not take this video seriously. The mind set, the guy in the video has, is the mindset we need in order to achieve our goals and become a better version of our self, which can also be the best from all. But no we just comment "my fish saw this video, now it's a shark", watch more videos and stay on our bed the whole day and fail at life. Let's take a break from chilling and change ourselves.

    Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

      Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Kate Elizabeth Amdall, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000

    “Today gentlemen, I’m honored to coach you. I’m more honored to take you into the field of battle. There is another honor to bestowed upon you. That is the answer that comes with this question.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    That’s right and I need you to remember that all throughout this game. I will conquer what has not been conquered. Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe what others have doubted. I will always endeavor the prestige, honor, and respect of my team. I have trained my mind and my body will follow.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    I will acknowledge the fact that my opponents do not expect me to win, but I will never surrender. Weakness will not be in my heart. I will look to my comrades and those who brought me into this world and those who have trained me and I will draw strength from them.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    I will gladly go into the field of battle. And I will move, groove, and do everything that I can do and I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal. And when I get there, I will arrive violently. I will rip the heart of my enemy and leave it bleeding on the ground, because he cannot stop me!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    To my side I have comrades. Comrades who have been with me through thick and thin, through sacrifice, through blood, through sweat, through tears. Never will I let them fall. Never will I let them down and I will never leave an enemy behind, because our opponent does not know my heart.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    No one will deny me. No one will defy me. And no one will tell me who and what I am and can be. Belief will change my world. It has moved continents, and countries, and put man on the moon. And it will carry me through this battle.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    Defeat, Retreat those are not in my words. I do not understand those definitions. I do not understand when things go wrong. I do not understand mistakes. But I do understand this. I understand victory and I understand never surrendering. No matter how bad things go, my heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak.
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    Today will be that day, not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here in your house and in your home.
    WHO AM I?
    I AM A CHAMPION!!!
    History will remember me and I will not have to worry about him being kind. I will define myself! I will write my own praises! And no one will tell me what I can and cannot be! I will never go home, not without giving it everything that I got.
    Cause WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!
    WHO AM I?
    I am a Champion!!!

      Go put Shia LeBeouf's video as your alarm for every morning. Learn that feeling of the lazyness trying to creep in as you get woken up, and the feeling of beating that bitchass thought to the curb as you listen tot he vid and just GO. Doesn't matter if you have nothing planned. Go do some pushps. Hell put your phone under your dresser so to turn it off you HAVE to get up and on the floor to turn it off. now that your already down there, how about some pushups? Well you already did one set, may as well finish 2 more to make it a proper workout. Alright just worked out for the day, time to shower. Shower done, time to eat some breakfast. Breakfast is done, DAMN i feel good for just getting up and doing something today. How about I clean up my room? Do a couple chores? Alright my shit is set at home, worked out, got some chores out of the way, all in the first hour or two after I'm up.
      Imagine going into every day like that. It's like when they tell you in the military to make your bed every morning. It's not the act of making up the bed, it's having a morning routine that sets you up to succeed by accomplishing SOMETHING, even if it's trivial. It gets you into the mindset of I already finished one task for today, may as well finish another. And another. And another. You can train that routine and add whatever you want into it as well. Want to start eating healthier? Adjust breakfast and you eat it. Want to start more effectively using time? Wake up EARLIER, I got for 4:30, and get everything done before anyone is even awake to disturb or distract you from your goal. Alright, everyones getting up now but you've already got 2-4 solid hours of a workout, chores, and work done before people have even brushed their teeth.
      Now imagine starting every day like that, while still having the whole rest of the day to yourself. Get up, don't think jsut do. You know it's good for you, fuck everything your mind will think. Don't even think. JUST DO IT. IF YOU WANT TO STOP STARTING OVER, STOP GIVING UP. I believe in you man.
