We're Gonna Be Winners

movies

I love that scene in "Hoosiers" when Gene Hackman's character is trying to motivate his team before the Indiana state finals.

Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their fancy uniforms, and remember what got you here. Focus on the fundamentals that we've gone over time and time again. And most important, don't get caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my book, we're gonna be winners!

I feel better just reading that speech.
