Speech "I AM A CHAMPION!" By Coach Jonathan Flowers Today gentleman, I am honored to coach you, and I am more honored to take you onto the field of battle. There is another honor to be bestowed upon you. That is the answer that comes with that question. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! That's right and I need you to remember that all throughout this game. I will conquer what has not been conquered. Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe what others have doubted. I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor and respect of my team I have trained my mind and my body will follow. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! I will acknowledge the fact that my opponents do not expect me to win. But I will never surrender. Weakness will not be in my heart. I will look to my comrades, and to those who brought me into this world, and those who train me and I will draw strength from that. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! I will gladly go off to the field of battle. I will move, move and everything I can do and I will reach my field of battle at any means at my disposal. And when I get there I will arrive violently. I will rip the heart from my enemy and leave it bleeding on the ground. Because he cannot stop me. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! To my side I have comrades, comrades that will be with me through thick and thin. Through sacrifice, through blood, through sweat, through tears. Never will I let them fall; never will I let them down. And I will never leave an enemy behind, because our opponent does not know my heart. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! No one will deny me, no one will defy me, and no one will tell me who and what I am, and can be. Belief will change my world. It has moved continents, it has moved countries, it has put man on the moon, and it will carry me through this battle. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! Defeat, retreat, those are not in my words, I dont understand those definitions. I dont understand when things go wrong. I dont understand mistakes. But I do understand this, I understand victory and I understand never surrendering. No matter how bad things go, my heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! Today will be that day, not tomorrow, not next week, but right now right here, in your house and in your home. Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION! History will remember me. I will not have to worry about him being kind. I will define myself, I will write my own pages. And no one will tell me what I can and cannot be. I will never go wrong, not as long as Ive given everything Ive got. Because who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
