The clip is motivational because it shows that you never know what is possible until you try. I am trying to get into the military this year and it takes forever. I need to stay motivated to be able to keep up with everything and stay excited. People do not achieve goals without trying. You need to stay motivated, really want to achive your goal, and most of all believe in yourself.
It was motivational because it shows how you can make yourself achieve, even if you feel you can't. If you think you can't do something, try hard and make yourself! Anyone is capable, you won't get anywhere being lazy and thinking you can't achieve, you must believe. If you set a goal do positive things that will help you accomplish it, don't just sit around, nothing will come out of just luck.
It's always up to the individual whether or not they succeed their goals or not. I think that all it takes is believing in yourself to achieve a goal. Other people don't do things for you, you have to do it yourself. It is your own will that gets you through some task that others may say is to hard. You can strenghten your will by believing in yourself. That is my honest oponion is may be wrong but that is what I have always believed.
This is motivational to me because it showed someone pushing you to your limits, and not giving up. A time when someone pushed me to my limits is my father. He used to coach my basketball team, and since i was his son he always pushed me until I achieved my goal or until I did it his way. My goals for this year is to pass all of my classes with an "A" and to be the most respectable young man. Some people aren't pushed to that next level in order to achieve their goal, maybe they need another individual to help them with that goal.
This is a good movie clip with the pushing him to his fullest. I would have to say that I have had those times where I didn't think I could do it and someone has pushed me farther, especially at Isle Of Wight Academy, where I was before I came here last year. I have also been pushed by my dad, when I was playing softball, if I was practicing he would push me untill I got what I was trying to do right. This year my goals have been set that I am focusing on grades and clubs as well as meeting new people. I really hope I can get my GPA back up from the past to years as well.
This video clip provides a great example of how a person should try there hardest and see what they can accomplish. Broc thinks he can only go to the fifty, but when he was blindfolded and gave his very best he made it to the end zone. When people give there very best, they can discover just how far they can go in life. Thinking about how much strenghth you've got or how much effort you can put into something can limit your abilities like Broc. However, when you put your heart into something and give your very best you can truly accompolish great things.
This clip is motivational because this coach knows this player can do so much more than what is being done. I've been pushed to do more in track by my coaches. They made me pull out that extra bit of strength to pull through and come out strong. My goal is to graduate high school in the top 20 in my class and to have the resources to go to Hampton University. The only person that can achieve a certain goal is the actual person that wants it. If you do not want it bad enough then you probably will not get it. It's all about how much to put into what you want.
Facing your goals and dreams is not an easy task. There are many factors that determine if or if not you will acheive your goals. Many of these are mental. For example if your goal is to pass a test and you spend all your study time playing video games your less likely to accomplish your goal. Sometimes you have to rely on others. For example if your goal is to win the football game friday night you have to give your best along with your teamates doing there best.
The first and only time I watched this movie I was with my friend Nikki. She was a very inspirational person who always had my back. She influenced me to be a better person. Unfortunately, she died November 24, 2008. It was hard for me to even watch a clip from this movie because it reminded me of her. The clip itself does not motivate me near as much as the first person i watched it with does.
Watching the "Facing the Giants" movie clip really opens your eyes about being able to do thing you think you aren't able to do. People say all the time I can't do this or that, it's no true you are able to achieve anything you put your effort into. This year I would love to get straight A's to help my GPA and also to help with my senior year in only taking two classes. My first year of high school I slacked off and it caught up to me. Regaining my GPA score is very important to allow me to enter the colleges I would like to go to. Another goal of mine would be to hangout with a wider variety of people. I learned to do so once I left my hometown in Florida. If people set a goal and don't do anything to help that goal it shouldn't of been set.
The goals that I have set for myself this year are pretty simple. I want to get honor roll each nine weeks. I want to raise my GPA. I just really want to focus more on school this year. Also want to be in less confrontation this year than last year, because it affected my school work. The last thing is that I want the girls basketball team to at least win two games this year.
There's only one time that I can remember someone pushing me to my limits. I was running a half- K with my frined Alex down in Va. Beach. It was around the half way mark and I was extremely close to just giving up. Alex pushed me to keep running and not give up. Thanks to Alex I finished in 30th and if it hadn't been for him i would probably finished in last.
"Facing the Gaints" motivate me by doing more than what I try to do. I try to study more than what I have been doing. I had couches that tried to push players to their absolute limit when I played football and soccer. I know how bad it feels because the nest day your whole body is sore. My goal is th get six "A"s this year. This is my junior year in high school and I want colleges to look for me. One factor that determines whether people achieve their goal they set is if they achieve it.
This clip motivates me in many ways. You should never give up or say you can't. My goals for this year is to do my best in school. The last time someone motivated me was in baseball. My coach was getting me motivated to become better at baseball.
To me, this clip shows how much strength everyone can have. Even though some people may think they don't have the talent or power to accomplish something. They have someone there to motivate them no matter what the situation is. I love how the coach is this clip didn't give up on his player. He stuck with his football player.

The video was motivational because the football player wasn't confident they were going to win and was bringin the team down. But then he did the blind crawl thing and went way farther than he thought he could.People achieve the goals they set for themselves if they try their hardest and even if you don't win you still feel good.
This video is very motivational. Many football coaches try to motivate their players by yelling at them. Also they push their players to do there very best. Most of the time players respond positively to the yelling. All and all the video clip was very motivational.

It makes it motivational because, even when you think you can't do something you can. You are always suppose to give 110% in all you do. The people who encourage you to do better are the ones who really care about you . Those people are the individuals that want to see you go far in life . So always do what you think you can't do .
The goal i set for myself this year.I want to get i shape so i can get ready for seal traing in two years.I have to able to push myself beyond normal cabilties.Also just start to be myself.
I have goals set for myself this year, my main one is to get good grades and pass. Another goal is to keep my head up through all the challenges god faces me with. In my opinion think your attitude determines whether or not people achieve the goals they set for themselves. If you have a positive attitude you will get more accomplished. If you’re able to be happy no matter what you have to go through in order succeed in your goal.

This video was very motivational to me because it shows that you can push yourself. Don’t ever feel like you just have to do the minimum to just get by. Always go a step above what you are told to do. Some people never try to push themselves they just pass through and do what they have to do to finish. I think if everyone would push themselves everyone would be able to succeed.
I've never seen this movie but it looks really good. I understand this situation because I play football and I know how hard it is to give 100% all the time. This year my goal is to make principal's list for the whole year. If not, just one semester. One big factor in peoplereaching their goals is dedication. if you're not dedicated, then you most likely will not reach your goals.
This clip was very motivational. However I still don’t understand why you only see these motivation scenes in sports movies. I have been pushed by many of my friends. Being pushed only helps so much you have to decide to listen to the advice. Ms. Bryant this will hopefully be a good blog.
The clip is motivational to me because it shows that I can do anything as long as I do it the best I can. One factor that determines whether or not people achieve the goals they set is the amount of motivation they have. If someone is constantly being told they can't do something, more than likely, they won't even try to do it or work harder. If someone is constantly motivated, they are more likely to succeed in whatever they do. Motivation is important and it effects everyone whether you think about it or not.

Factors that determine whether or not people achieve the goals they set for themselves are, how much effort they put in and they're attitude about it.This video inspired me to do my best no matter what gets in my way. The boys have an awesome coach that wants to see them succeed. No-one can prove their strengths until they show them. Its very obvious that you can't achieve your goals until you reach for them.
This movie clip motivates me to where I know that I can do anything if I put my mind to it.There are many people out there to motivate me everyday.Adults, teachers, or even my friends can motivate me to pursue my goals in life.They are there to make sure that what ever I want to do that I do it right.In this movie it also shows me that people know that everyone carries problems on their back all the time, but they still help others reach their goals!
From this movie I can honestly say it reached me. A reson being is because when somebody pushes you rreal hard to do something you end of doing it. By this you are proving yourself wrong. I set for a goal to make good grades. I studied now I am. You have to put in work to make a successful amount of progress !
This clip is motivational to me because that white boy doesn't give up. One time i pushed myself to drive 3 hours. It was very intense and challenging. My only goal this year is to graduate. Factors that determine whether people set achieve the goals they set for themselves is how determined they are to succeed.
It shows that even when something is hard you can always come out on top.Even if your being weighed down.
Back when I was 17 my dad told me I needed to figure out what I was going to go to college for.I kept telling my dad I had no clue.Then my foster parent told me to ignore my birth father,cause I was never going to even graduate high so I should just ignore what he said.Not and hour after that I realized what I HAD to go to college for.It was message,because I am very good at it and each year I get better the more I work at it.
I plan to finish high school and go to college for message and start my first year of college.Maybe get out of Va for a little while next year even.
This was a very motivational video! I believe that you can do anything you put your mind to, just like the coach did in the video. I have set goals for this year that, i hope to achieve =) The boy in this video did right by not giving up even though it had got hard but that's when people expect you to give up.
