How effective are motivational pre-game/halftime speeches for you?
The thread about the Lions' meathead coach got me thinking about all those videos of football captains or coaches with their players gathered around before games, exhorting them to victory and glory and having a gleam and stuff.

I never played organized football since my parents were committed to making me as unpopular as possible, so I never ate an orange in the locker room while hearing a halftime speech, or gathered into a pre-game mass to stand entranced by the motivational speaking powers of our local football standout.

I'll ask the question in a poll, and when the poll starts I WANT YOU TO GO OUT THERE AND VOTE! KILL THAT POLL! WE'RE IN THIS TO GET A THOUSAND RESPONSES AND YOU'RE GOING TO HELP US WIN! THIS IS YOUR DESTINY! YOU CAN DO THIS! GET IT DONE!

Exhibit A: Marty Schottenheimer.

Maybe if someone gave him a motivational speech he would have been able to select the proper quarterbacks to start the 95 and 97 Superbowl Caliber Chiefs playoff games.

My only experience with something like this of any importance was playing in the Missouri State H.S. Class 5A Football Championship at Arrowhead my senior year.

I still remember our coaches halftime speech. So, I do think it made a difference.

At half time Reid said anyone going out to watch Rhianna would not play the rest of the SB and the Chiefs won. I guess it must have been pretty effective.

Independent of the halftime speech, did you win or lose?
