What Is Your Motive? || Football Motivation

[@TyRaff]

I stopped playing football to focus on school like I was told was a good idea, but I missed it too much, and started semi-pro. 2 and a half years later Ive gone from 212 lbs to 285 lbs, 17% body fat, 6'8". Im registering for two CFL tryouts this year as a defensive lineman. More than the sport itself were skills and an attitude I never thought I could have. 23, on my own, budgeting for 4500 healthy calories a day, over two hours of workouts everyday balanced with work and staying up cooking for hours to make sure I can feed my body the next day. When you no longer have a school backing you, you really learn how bad you want it, but hust like this video says doors will open up. Ive been meeting some former professionals who are giving me advice, and I feel the farther I push myself, the more help I will receive. What ever it is, chase your dreams. You will discover more about yourself than you ever could imagine.

[@bosnianstar572]

Keep going brother! I made it to Simon Fraser last cuts of try outs and I tore my Infraspinatus for a second time and it stopped my hopes and dreams of playing football, keep on going!!

[@stupidestnoob5473]

how many years have you played?

[@bxnkilla9680]

Tyler Rafferty right school is important you always want a back up plan but just like somebody wants to be successful in academics someone wants to be successful in athletics never let someone control you do what you want

[@htfgvsgj6347]

that's what all you can do KEEP GOING when you're underweight keep going when you can't catch keep going when you can't play man coverage keep going, I'm a 170 pound offensive lineman I look like I weigh nothing cause my matabolism is high and getting a starting position and being the best I can be for my freshman team I know it's hard but KEEP GOING

I just started American Football and I watched this video last night before I went to sleep, woke up at 5 am went to the gym and after that to classes and then hit the gym again. This video motivates me so much!!

[@OhMyGodAWhale]

+Willy lucky Same, just started playing for my university now, living in the UK it's a different sport than I've ever tried before and I love it, was only hitting the gym 3-4 times a week before (even when I was working in a gym as a personal trainer for a year) but now I've found football I go whenever I have a spare hour and a half, 6 days a week except Sunday when the team go to train and eat together. Good luck in your season and on your studies

[@GoofyGoober-us7yp]

Willy lucky that's what you gotta do I've been playing for a few years now and I've learned that the only way you will be successful in this sport is if you work harder and faster than everybody else

Me being a American Football/ Athlete, I suffered a lot of pain on the field and a lot especially off the field emotionally, this videos talked me out of suicide because I realized I need to grind no matter the conditions because people are depending on me to make them proud(my family)

[@IAmDislexic]

Arturo Silva Im the same went through everything u went through. I went through pain on and off the field. I thought of quitting but then, I thought of the girl i like my family and all, and then i work and work hard and ended up being one of the best players in my league.Im in 8th grade but im 6'1 and 175lbs i train in the snow, rain, even thunder sometimes.

[@arturosilva3869]

WellIm Matt I'm only 5'10-5'11 linebacker but I'm about 180 I bench 210-215 max as a freshman and can squat 350 max and have a 4.0 RN, I'm not gonna quit

[@thomasfuller9984]

How is it going now

[@keeganmillsap7480]

I'd give anything to go back and play another game in highschool with the guys I played with. My senior year was 2007 I played for the Mckenzie rebels in west Tennessee. I was middle linebacker we took our team to the state championship for the first time in school history. We were 13-1 the team we played was 14-0 at the time, but we fell short 52-26 we finished 13-2 that season. It's been 8 years since I wore a helmet and pads and played football, I'd trade one whole year of my life to go back and play that last game with my team an my group of seniors. And the reason we were so good that year was because everytime we stepped on that file we expected to win no matter who it was hell you could have lined us up against the Dallas cowboys and we would have expected to win that's what it took for us to win the four years I played we were the most winningest class in school history those 4 years from freshman to senior year the team only lost 7 games and every year we made it to the semi finals. I'm gonna finish with this " you don't realize how much fun it was till you gotta go with out it".

I'm a sophomore in high school and made it on Varsity this year, And I remember back in 7th grade I was going to try out .Everyone told me that I couldn't do it, so I believed them. But I still went to try outs, they put me as a DE and the coach told me that I had potential. So now that I'm getting better and better, I'm proving everyone wrong little by little

[@delroydiamondiv8621]

That's great I'm about to be a junior next year and i and have been competing for starting OLB and the end of my sophomore year my coach told me I will be starter if I continue and now I'm the captain so keep it up , have fun ,and make plays

[@jesusmontiel6074]

+Delroy Diamond me to bro I'm a junior and I played DE sophomore year and this year coach put me as a outside linebacker but man it's hard): I got trucked by a running back and now I'm just embarrassed and disappointed at myself bro it's hard this video is the only thing that makes me go even harder in practice and next Friday it's my first game so I'm nervous

[@connorn7965]

I am not good at football in my grade but I still try my hardest this video motivates me a lot.

[@ryseavitus6604]

Thank you for making this video. I'm a Freshman football player, and we've played 4 games so far this season. Each one we lost, either we had 6 points or 0. Everytime, the other team would have 50+ points. Each time we lose, everyone is so mad. But none of us has quit yet. Tomorrow, we play a High School that is really good. Tomorrow, we may lose, but because of this video, I don't care. I'm happy to put a helmet on after school, and run out wearing a pair of Nike Cleats onto that Football Field, whether to Practice or to play a game. I wanted to quit because I was tired, physically and mentally, but every night I come and watch this video because I know, I KNOW that I am better than I was yesterday, and I will become better tomorrow. I am proud to have seen this video, and I am so happy and glad to be a Football Player. I may not ever win a game. I may not ever be in the NFL. But at the end of my High School Career, I get to walk away saying I'm a better man than I was when I started. A better student, a better player, a better man. My life has changed because of my Coaches, and because of my will to wake up and say to myself that I will become better. I will strive to pay attention in class for 30 minutes today, and go for 31 minutes tomorrow. I strive to let my Girlfriend know I love her everyday. I lay in bed and stare at the Ceiling accepting defeat after losing a game, but tomorrow I wake up and I say to myself I will win the next one.

[@IAmDislexic]

I dont expect you to see this but it should be your senior year rn. Make it worth it. I remember reading this comment 3 years ago

[@METAon2K]

I watch this video almost everyday

[@patrickkinnealey5641]

I've played football my whole life was benched most of the time but just last year we got a new coach and I needed to make a impression I got ready and the first day for tryouts I found this video I made it to starting linebacker and broke a record for most tackles in a game by a 6th grader move up to 7th grade I'm the starting linebacker an defensive captain and it all started with the motivation I got from this video and work My point is whatever you want in life you can get you just have to work for it and "find your motive" because when you do it all has a meaning

[@Movieclips_101]

[@diegosoto1569]

I been playing football in my school for 3 years now in my freshman year we went 1-8 sophomore year we went 2-7 and this varsity year we went 0-9, I been a starter all these 3 years and every team we vs they score 50 or upper and I been putting hours of dedication into this sport and hours into the weight room. I show up to all summer camps without missing a single day. At the end of the season I could walk out and say I’m proud of myself because I did what I could. I love my team and I wouldn’t move to a all state champ team because i will always represent the my VILLE. Overall they could beat me in the field but they’re not going to defeat me inside. But I am to the point to quit because I put in many hours but not getting out nothing. Hopefully someone could relate to me💯
