First Place (Sports Motivation Speech)

Winning is everything
Being first is everything
Don't let anybody try and tell you otherwise
Don't let losers and failures tell you that it's the taking part that counts
Losers aren't remembered, failures aren't remembered, and nobody ever remembers who finished second

You are not a failure
You are not a loser
You will be remembered and you will finish in first place

No matter who you are
No matter what you do or where you are on your personal journey
You can win and you must win

It's no easy feat, and only one can top the mountain
But I believe in you, and more importantly, you believe in yourself
You have the drive, the passion, the focus, the desire, and a never say die attitude

The road to first place can be a lonely one
There are pitfalls, bad days, blood, sweat, tears and at times it will feel as if everybody and every force of nature is against you
And this is where most people give up, but you aren't most people!
You are champion!

Unlike most people, you don't give up when times get tough
Unlike most people, you don't make excuses when things don't go your way
Unlike most people, you thrive under pressure

You win because you outwork everyone
You always go the extra mile
You are the best!
Your willpower far surpasses all of your competitors

Form is temporary, class is permanent
And it's going to take everything you've got to stay at first place

You won't get there by staying in your comfort zone
You will never win in the comfort zone!
You want to win?
Get comfortable being uncomfortable!

Staying at the top is harder than getting there
Everybody wants to challenge you
Everybody wants to take your spot
Everybody's hoping that you slip up

But you are a relentless dominator
You are the master, the captain, the boss
No complacency!
No loss of focus!

No complacency!
No loss of focus!

When you reach the top
No matter how many days you stay in first place
You stay hungry
You always stay hungry
When the sun sets and all is said and done
Victory will be yours
First place will be yours
Greatness will be your legacy

Stay hungry
You always stay hungry
