LOCKER ROOM SPEECHES:

The inspirational locker room speech delivered pre-, post- or even mid-game is a sports tradition. It's commonplace in locker rooms in most sports at any level and absolutely mandatory in the closing minutes of any great sports film.

Maybe the best athletes don't need any motivation outside of that they have in themselves. But it certainly can't hurt to have another motivational force in the locker room, particularly at the college level where athletes don't have a gigantic game check to inspire them.

Personally, I love this kind of stuff. All the yelling and jumping and high-fiving makes me wish I had given the whole college athletics thing a shot. Here are 20 locker room speeches that will fire up anyone not lacking a soul. 

An Athlete’s Prayer
God, let me play well but fairly.
Let competition make me strong but never hostile
Forbid me to rejoice in the adversity of others
See me not when I am cheered,
But when I bend to help my opponent up.
If I know victory, allow me to be happy;
If I am denied, keep me from envy.
Remind me that sports are just games.
Help me to learn something that matters once the game is over.
And if through athletics, I set an example, let it be a good one.

BECAUSE we have forgotten our ancestors,
our children no longer give us honor.
BECAUSE we have lost the path our ancestors cleared
kneeling in perilous undergrowth,
our children cannot find their way.
BECAUSE we have banished the God of our ancestors,
our children cannot pray.
BECAUSE the old wails of our ancestors have faded beyond our hearing,
our children cannot hear us crying.
BECAUSE we have abandoned our wisdom of mothering and fathering,
our befuddled children give birth to children
they neither want nor understand. - Maya Angelou
