This clip relates a lot to life. You should never give up and you should always give your 100% best. The coach that had the player do that crawl is very smart because he knew that the player could do it. The fact that the player was blindfolded made him not give up because he knew that if he could see where he was, then the player would have given up. In all, the moral is to not ever give up.
This video was very motivational because it is something everyone can relate to. Everyone has been pushed to give something their best in one way or another. Most of the time people don't always give their very best to where they really don't have an ounce of anything left in them. Whether people achieve the goals they set for themselves or not is how much drive and perseverance they have to achieve that goal. How bad do they want it? Are they willing to go the extra mile? Are they willing to give it every ounce? Without drive and desire to succeed, nobody will ever achieve anything.

I found this video to be motivational to me, because I know what this is like. I know that with our eyes, we limit ourselves. We think that we can't do something, and our mind holds us back, when our heart can keep pushing forward. I find this to be very motivational, and that we should all try our hardest, no matter what. Only then, can we say we're done.
This clip motivated me because he didn't stop at the 50 yard line, he stopped at the endzone. Ms.Mac made me motivated enough that i wanted to do my homework. The face she gave me when i didn't do it made me hurt. I did not do it though but I at least tried at the last minute. If somebody really wants to do something and they try to do it then they will succeed but if they don't try then they are destined to fail.

This clip shows that anything is possible, and its easier to accomplish things when you have someone pushing you. Its easy to give up, but when someone is standing behind you encouraging you, you don't stop doing your very best. A time that someone has pushed me was during the 5k in middle school, the gym coaches pushed you until you completed the mile. A goal I have for myself this semester is so make Honor Roll. In my opinion the factors that determine whether or not people achieve the goals they set for themselves is being determined and dedicated.
This video was very inspirational just by watching it. If someone has never had the ability to play on a team sport they never know how much one thing can mean. By playing football for Windsor it has showed me that I can never give up on something and that I will always have someone to back me up and be right beside me. This semester I want to pass this class with A's and be motivated to do that in all of my classes. Goals that people set can never be achieved if someone never puts forth the effort to try and succeed.
Personally,the clip provides me with no motivation. Personally, I am pushed by competition. For instance, my friend Isaac did winter guard with me, and I would not have put so much into it and did learned to do tosses like I do without him. A simple rivalry pushed me harder than ever before. This rivalry has caused me to want to achieve no less than a 94 in any of my classes this semester. I've also determined that I shall try harder than before to make Windsor high school's guard noticed, and to recruit more people. These goals will not come easily. Goals are achieved by someone's determination, effort, and their confidence in themselves. Ability doesn't matter compared to those things. So long as you put your heart into what you do, you will succeed.
This video proves that anything is possible if you have a coach yelling the same annoying line at you for your entire life. The repetition forces you to work harder and harder. Dreaming that one day he will find something better to do and let you go back to slacking off. In the process you learn what you are truly capable of. You may also never want go near another coach for the rest of your life.
This clip is motivational because it inspires the viewer to never give up before you even try. You also should put 100% effort in everything that you do in life, whether it's carrying a 160-pound man across a football field, or even writing 5 sentences. The fact that the player was blindfolded was a way of ensuring that the he wouldn't give up when he could go farther. The moral is don't do enough to get by. Go further than that.
I have been constantly pushed down and told I wouldn't achieve anything my entire life. This clip is so motivational to me because I have never had anyone, like the coach in this clip, that pushed me to achieve and go further than my goals. I believe in order to achieve goals the goals that have been set, you need motivation and willpower. Without someone there to motivate me, a lot of my goals have gone down the drain. Willpower is also needed because if I don't want to achieve my goals, then I won't push myself to achieve them.
This clip is motivational because it shows you that you can push yourself beyond what you think. A few years back when I played for VSLI our coaches pushed us to our limits so that we could win. In the end we didn't win a single game. This semester I would like to not get suspended anymore for stupid crap. People sometimes don't even try to achieve goals, they just say they'll do something to please people and then not do it.
This clip made me realize that do have people to motivate me even if I don't see it right away. There is so many people that encourage me and I don't see it right away. Some goals I have this semester is that I want to get principal lists. I want to go do a lot of stuff because I will be 18 and graduated. A really big goal in life, not just this semester, is that I want to get my doctorate in teaching. I hope that this video will open my eyes even wider to the people who really care about me.

The clip shows that you can do anything by pushing yourself to your goals although it might not be easy you can still do it. This semester I plan maintain all A's and B's in all of my classes, but with the hopes of all A's. When people set goals for themselves they need to have that go getter mentality, they have to want it.
I think this clip from "Facing the Giants" is very motivational. It shows that with motivation and encouragement you can achieve more than you thought was possible. Many factors determine whether or not goals can be met. One must work hard and deligently to achieve one's objective. I have one big goal this semester, which is to be high-ranking in the sophomore class. With determination and perseverance, I believe I can achieve my goal and exceed my expectations.
The guy on his back was stretching his shirt just as the coach and himself stretched his limits. He was shown that he could achieve more blind folded then while knowing where he was. With his eyes uncovered, he would have quit sooner than he did (Because he would have given up at the position he believed fit to... even if he knew he wasn't completely winded yet. There are days when I feel like giving up is an option as well; like school doesn't matter that day and I just feel LAZY. I know i can stretch my limits farther as well. I aim and hope to achieve the goals I have set for myself and, perhaps, even go beyond them. I dream big so that I don't lower my standards and expectations of myself. I know I can work harder than I do. Having a goal and dream in front of me is the motivation that pushes me to strive to want more. I know that by working harder now, near the end of the road it won't be as difficult. I have much stress now in hopes that it will ease when my dreams and goal come true. My goal this semester is to maintain straight A's (and for all the other semesters I have left in high school), so that I'll have opportunities and choices in the future. I don't believe that there is anyone else that pushes me as hard as myself. I fully understand that it's my life and I need to take care of it and live up to achieve all that I desire to.
I always love giving my best and to do that I need motivation. This video, from Facing the Giants, is extremely inspirational. This clip shows how much a coach can effect and motivate his or her team. This motivational video teaches us to give our best, even if we don't think we're able to. It's important that everyone has the will to get up and go do their best as well as to be inspired.
This clip from "Facing the Giants" demonstrates how strong of an impact a coach can have on the players. Words such as "Keep on going, you got it!" can simply motivate a player to not give up because someone has faith in them. When Brock reached the end-zone, Brock motivated the whole football team. Brock not only gave himself faith to fight in the upcoming Friday night football game, but he inspired the rest of the team too. If you put your heart into everything you do like the coach from the clip, you will most likely have a positive impact on the lives around you.
Seeing isn't believing. This video inspires me to try my hardest, even if I can't see the future. The whole idea of putting a blindfold on is to cover what's ahead of you. To do the best, you have to give all of your attention to what you are doing at that certain moment. You can achieve more if you don't think about your future or past. Living in the moment is quotation that many people should live by. When I run in track, I think about how much it hurts and I want to quit. Every time I think I'm going to stop I think "just a little bit farther" and "if I go a little bit longer, I'll become just that much better." I believe that everyone should strive to become better; it should be their motivation.
Yo dat video was motivitaional. it teaches u not to give up.and keep trying no matter wat.cause you never know how far u can go.
This clip from "Facing the Giants" is very motivational. It showed that if one player from the team can do it and push threw it, everyone can try their hardest. That one player showed the whole team he could do it and he was blind folded. If he had not been blindfolded he may have not pushed threw it and never know that he could go that far.
To me, motivation is one of the key points in life. It pushes you to go harder than you ever thought you could. In volleyball motivation is everything. You can get any ball you want if you believe in yourself. It may not be the prettiest thing you've ever done, but you gave it your best and you got the ball up. Or when it's the last points of a game and you're at a tie, you have to be motivated and show how much you want it in order to succeed.
This clip did not motivate me very much. Yes to a point it is a good motivational clip but I rather watch a Ray Lewis clip. Those clips get me hyped up more than any thing. I will say the kid had a bunch of heart in giving all he had. Thats the true meaning of leaving it all on the field.
This video clip was motivational. it proves you can do anything you put your mind to. At first the football player only thought he could go to the 50 yard line, but without even knowing he pushed himself to the end zone. If it were not for the coach pushing him along the way he would have not known he could make it that far because he didnt believe in himself.
the coach pushed the player to do his best. he wanted to show him that he can do anything he can set his mind to.coach blind folded him so he wouldnt stop when he got to the 50 yard line .he went further and proved people wrong.he inspired the whole team and the coaches to always do there very best. you should always do your very best no matter what.
This video is inspirational. I can relate to it because i played football. There were many instances where i though i couldn't go any farther but i knew i had to keep going. I didn't want to let my team down, because if one person quits, everyone will start to quit. When it's 100+ degrees outside and coach P has got you running 60+ sprints through the sandpit giving everything youve got, yeah i can relate. This video also relates to life overall. Sometimes in life people get to a stop sign, where they have to stop and reconsider, or think about things, but theres only one thing to do after that, and thats to keep on keeping on. People give up on themselves too easily, and they dont have faith in their own strength, whether it be physical or mental, they can always do more than they think, they just have to push themselves. I will be the first to admit that I also give up when I could go more. But due to playing football i know that I can do more than I think. Just remember, when you think your at the end, keep on trying, and I promise you will go farther than you ever thought you could. Facing the Giants is a perfect example of this.

The clip from "Facing The Giants" shows how words like "Keep going" can motivate a person. You should never give up and give it your all. This movie motivates me to not give up no matter how tough it gets. When the coach is telling him to "keep going, you got it" he is showing how he believes in him. If you put your in everything and try your best, you will most likely have a positive impact on peoples lives.
It was kinda sad to watch when he was pushing him so hard. But it made him a better player. And that he went the whole field is impressive. He should be proud of hisself for that. I would be if I was him.
That video was motivitaional. It teaches you not to give up.And keep trying no matter what.Cause you never know how far you can go.Try hard and you can suceed
This clip from "Facing the Giants" is truly inspiting. There are times when I feel like I cant go any futher and I need to give up, but if you have enough motivation and heart anything is possible. If you don't believe in yourself then how are you suppose to achieve anything. During my volleyball season we had to do a drill where we would pass the ball to eachother and you had to go to 100, or more if possible. We sometimes gave up on ourselves and it felt impossible. One day our coach realized that we were downing ourselves and made us run until we did it perfectly. This pushed us to our limit but should that we could do it and to not give up. From this experiance we also learned to appreciate our success of completing the drill. A goal I set for myself this semester is to keep up with my school work, study, and be able to maintaine my job. The factors that decide weither or not you achieve your goals is modivation, determination,belief, and heart. Anything you do is possible you just always have to give your 100%.
"Facing the Giants" is a motivational clip to me cause it pushes me to do my very best in all I do, and going to do. A time when someone pushed me to do my very best was my first year in high school. The work to me was soo hard I thought I couldn’t do until my teachers, my principal, and some fellow students gave me some great advice and superior support to keep going on. The major goals I set for my self was to keep my head in the books and out of trouble, to stay around positive and not negative. You can tell if some people have set goals and achieve them and who had not. The people who set goals and achieve them enjoy their life and doing something with it, while others just sit around doing nothing.
This video is so motivational because he not only got the player to carry the boy across the field but blindfolded him so he didn't know how far he was, to prove if he continues to push and not give up he could do more than he was giving, which the coach knew. Everyone should give there all and push to achieve their goals, also having some motivators to help you along like a coach, friend, or adult is very helpful. Not everyone is successful in achieving their goals and it's not always about achieving but knowing that you tried your very best. The moral is to always do your best and you never know if you could be a leader. You can also be a motivator to help others.
