speeches

[sweetblazer 0]

hey, i have to present a speech just fro public speaking purposes at school this week. It has to be in the five minute area long. Basically the onyl speech ive gotten was al pacinos in any given sunday and my buddy jumped on it before i did. Im just wondering if anyone can think of any good sports speeches they've seen in movies, heard aobut maybe even heard? It would be really helpful cause ive thought of a lot of them and all i found was th any given sunday one the rest were to short. Even if its just inspirational liek Martim luther king, or the FDR speech "only thing we have to fear is fear itself" that type of thing any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Do Gregory Peck's closing remarks from "To Kill A Mockingbird"...If you pull it off well...here is no teacher alive that won't give you an "A"

Sports:

Herb Brooks prior to the Russian game

Paul Newman before the last game in slapshot

Non-sports:

The gettysburg address is pretty solid and about that length.

JFK's Inaugural address: "Ask not what your country can do for you"

Churchill: "We shall fight on the beaches"

Malcolm X: "By any means necessary"

(possibly fictional) Knute Rockne: "Win one for the gipper"

Look up the speech in any given sunday

Just look through some sports movies; Miracle, Slapshot, Any Given Sunday, The Replacements, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans... Actually Denzel Washington gets a good speech in pretty much all his movies.
