Ted Lasso - Ted’s “Believe” Speech

From S03 E05 “Signs”

[@Keyarchan]

I love that the sign ended up meaning so much to the team.

[@marcuscallahan4645]

Might be my favorite speech of all time

[@agt2659]

The last ep even makes this scene more meaningful.

[@blankname6629]

How did you feel about the last episode of the show completely ruining this scene? All the sudden the sign was so important again

[@blankname6629]

@@agt2659 how is that? It basically reversed this entire scene. Actually guys that sign means more than anything. Believing in yourself does not matter it’s the all powerful sign that matters.

[@OGKillerBee99]

@@blankname6629 I think the show doesn't mean it that way. Belief was not the result of the whole sign, that was never the message. The sign wasn't the real catalyst of pounding hope into each player, it was each player's own hope and belief that gave the sign real meaning. As long as each player keeps believing, the sign will will have meaning, regardless of getting ripped apart or not, that's when it comes full circle and the final and fourth step of the Total Football ideology comes to fruition.

You need to study more speech’s but definitely a good one from an unexpected source

[@phillyphan1994]

I like that Sam is already smiling at 2:03, basically already understanding Ted’s point before Ted even gets to it

[@canyonheadrick8588]

Love it man, Sam always appreciates the knowledge and leadership throughout the show

[@worly]

Sam's a goldfish, he's already forgotten about everything that came before at that point.

[@justinhouston1414]

Love how at the very end of the speech Sam gently pounds his fist on his leg in the satisfaction that Coach Lasso absolutely NAILED another locker speech. Almost like he lives for these speeches...

[@courtneywalmsley8284]

Considering all the fathers in this show: 1) Lasso’s/died by suicide 2) Jamie’s/ abandoned until Jamie became an a football superstar, only to bully and be a class a “jerk.” 3) Phoebe’s/ absentee and POS father 4) Roy’s grandfather/ died before Roy returned home 5) Sam’s/ his father, an incredible, supportive and loving father (and can cook!) 6) Rebecca’s) lowdown dirty cheater on his wife 7) Higgins/ five boys and wife, dedicated, loving, and loyal 8) Nate/ father is cold and never proud of Nathan’s accomplishments And Ted, gives them the players his support and love like a quasi-father/ teacher/ preacher. Believe, indeed!

[@Cynthia10tj]

What about the belief of hope? Yeah? That's what I wanna mess with. Believing that things can get better. That I can get better. That we will get better. Oh man. To believe in yourself. To believe in one another. Man, that's fundamental to being alive. And look. If you can do that, if each of you can truly do that... Can nobody rip that apart. MAN, WHAT A SPEECH!

[@vernonrabbetts]

The speech is great, but the fact they all took a fragment and kept them with them shows the power of symbols, of totems and how much being part of it all meant to them.

[@KeatonHabeck]

I lost my grandma today and Ted telling me to have hope and that I deserved to be loved has me in tears

[@wchandler2010]

I know it’s a little late but I’n truly sorry for your loss. I hope everything is OK with you.

[@PatrickWilliamShaw]

God bless you.

[@jamesshively7549]

This is one of those things that is going to bring a tear to my eye for years. Beautifiul

[@StormX6]

This speech was what made me understand why this show got an Emmy

[@fitforfreelance]

Solid speech that will change a lot of lives

[@gedrictudio]

If you've seen the finale, that just ties it all together.

[@lrellisderth118]

Trent's mentorship of Colin is one of my favourite things this season

[@fayesouthall6604]

Solid.

[@Pop_Gordo]

When I don’t feel like going to the gym or need some extra motivation, I watch this video. It flips a switch and never fails

[@cesaralarcon5228]

Nate still has that essential good deep down, he’s beginning to doubt if he’s making the right choices and his anger is what came out as a result of his own doubts

[@zacharyrosemann]

He's definitely going to see through Rupert's bullshit in either the finale or episode leading up to the finale Something tells me they want this show to end with Lasso and Rupert going against each other and in order for that to happen, Nate will quit coaching and Rupert will take over (but that's just my theory)

[@seankerr837]

@@zacharyrosemann theyll end the show with lasso leaving and nate replacing him as richmond coach

[@danrenshaw3702]

@@seankerr837 I can see that, although needs a lot more 'redeeming' on Nate's part. Obviously they are writing him more sympathetic now, after making him so easily dislikable in season two. Fantasticly portrayed by Nick Mohammed. For the full turn around, the return of the jedi arc here, it'll require some fantastic writing, and some great acting. Which based on everything Ted Lasso so far, is more than achievable. I can see it.

[@2596mr]

Best example of masculinity on screen. Successful, comaradarie, hardworking and most important ability to FORGIVE people. Ted lasso you can turn this Andrew tata boat around.

[@mdahdolan]

Ted cussing means he’s feeling better! Glad he’s back level headed and all!

[@TonyLeadholm]

Ted giving Jaime the long lingering look as confirmation that he was indeed correct all along. At 1:17.

[@flalacan]

noticed that too - it shows that jamies heard in a way 😅

[@night1218]

Ted management skill is up there. So much things this show deliver to us

[@kcfavis]

Bumbercatch's face when Ted agrees, yes, it is a sign. lol

[@JohnInvest17]

One of my favourite speech from the show.

[@patrickowyoung4712]

I'm not crying you're crying

[@beemoney19]

I would run through a brick wall for Ted after this speech.

[@cristinadovan702]

This made me cry, beautiful ,I love this show.

[@Mustafayassereldewy]

This is gonna live forever!

[@jamesgibbs5308]

This speech is so powerful ❤

[@grubbs517]

Rebecca needed to poke her head into the locker room to say "shame" instead of Ted.

[@Masonjar94]

The writers of this show are phenomenal

[@katheebmuzammil9197]

Taart showing his tactical qualities after being under pep. Truly learining from the best

[@domirosner]

The best being Ted obviously

[@harrison3910]

I've had one of the worst months of my life, as I start to walk out of it I've been watching this every morning. It's like russian roulette, it either motivates me or makes me cry.

[@goloccoo2757]

Thank you for the share

[@perrycunningham6625]

Just saw this for the first time. Excuse me while I, a man who's never walked, run through a bloody brick wall.

[@leea860]

i know he's a fictional manager, but you understand why he got so much success against the odds, because i wouldve run through brick wall for ted lasso.

[@user-tb4el1sr1q]

Im glad they found such profound happiness

[@gauravsherke4127]

Oh man this series needs a season 4😂

[@darkshark320]

It cutting to Colin at "shame" killed me

[@fletchadox1421]

I cried.

[@johnglazier5210]

I wish that at the end they would've painted the believe sign on in like yellow clean letters because it would show how the sentiment is now a foundation of AFC Richmond after Ted, like nobody could compromise it at the point. Additionally, the players would've gotten their pieces back which I feel is a nice sentiment as a part of Ted's legacy with the team carries on with each of them.

[@aadichopra8387]

Wow, I wish my coach gave me that speech

[@jordangould4763]

So far I've found this season to be a bit hit and miss tbh but this last couple of minutes of this episode was very much a hit

Coaches across America will use this speech and hope that the players didn't see this episode of Ted Lasso.

[@ayezasyed975]

stoppp why did I watch this without realizing this is season 3 omg I haven't watched yet

Ted Talk Time!

[@Squaredot01]

Tomorrow at 4am??

[@emilyzahora3330]

I like the guys who are just losing their minds over the sign.

[@unnameduser3677]

Is no one going to talk about how the sign is on “Lie” when he slaps it on the table.

[@TonyLeadholm]

Wait. Didn't ROY date Gina Gershon too?!?!?! 🤯🤯😲😳😲

[@chazzsheckys]

Lol, I just realized that too. 😂

[@VinoSong]

Poor Danny. Lol

[@openminded4751]

I really just picked up on the foreshadowing (apologies for not remembering his name) of the closeted gay guy being the only one that looks down when Ted mentions shame at the end of his reasons to doubt yourself.

[@shakeyfly]

CAn't believe this is the Last season

[@MrBdatta]

I hate that the power of this scene gets reduced in the last episode.

[@WestleyMonell]

I can understand your perspective. Glad you like the show too! To share a different perspective: The final episode is a testament to Ted's leadership throughout the show and in this scene's moment. Ted motivates and teaches a group of men, who all take a piece of the sign as a team, because it was Ted's sign. They came together in the final episode, as a team, after Ted points to the sign that is no longer up there. It was symbolic, team unity, and a full circle moment with their coach that they admire. Not in spite of their coach and not because of a sign, but what Ted's words and life teachings meant to them and the team-wide bond that was built. Great writing that tied things together throughout the show, with this scene and the final episode scene, being an example of that.

Why is this a show? 9 yrs ago they made a spoof. 😮ok.

Someone saw the spoof and ran with it. They created magic

Gina Gershon. Hubba hubba
