It is known that each year before a big championship game that out comes Al Pacino's speech "Game of inches" or a famous Ali quote is thrown into the team talk. Does any of you guys have a favourite speech or quote that is said to "inspire" or "motivate" the guys before a game?

"People who say winning isnt everything and its the taking part that counts are idiots. Winners make things happen, losers let things happen."

Quitters never win. Winners never quit.
Hit them hard. Hit them early. Hit them often.
