    Motivation for second leg of playoffs!

    If you could pick one motivational/inspirational scene from a film to show the Derby players to help gee them up what would it be?

    I've always liked this Al Pacino special from Any Given Sunday (see link)

    What other films or scenes would you pick to inspire/motivate? - view external link

    Tyler Durden: "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

    loving this thread fletch.

    now I'd go all old school and seek motivation through fear.

    see one of the most legendary characters of all time; Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

    I'd bet that bucko has the best 'war face'. - view external link

    I'd go with Leslie Neilsen in Airplane.

    If you think you are beaten, you are;
    If you think you dare not, you don't.
    If you'd like to win, but think you can't
    It's almost a cinch you won't.

    If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
    For out in the world we find
    Success begins with a fellow's will:
    It's all in his state of mind.

    If you think you're outclassed, you are:
    You've got to think high to rise,
    You've got to be sure of yourself before
    You'll ever win that prize.

    Life's battles don't always go
    To the stronger or faster man,
    But sooner or later the man who wins
    Is the man who thinks he can. - view external link

    Jim Telfer for me. Wonderful, loins-stirring stuff. - view external link

    ...or there's Richard Burton reading Winston Churchill's "Blood, toil, tears & sweat".
