Knute Rockne was truly a showman. He was always promoting himself, his team, and the University of Notre Dame. Nonetheless, he was good at what he did - motivating and inspiring.

I love the end of this talk. It captures the essence of what a great pep talk should be all about.
"We're going inside of 'em, we're going outside of 'em -- inside of 'em! outside of 'em! -- and hen we get them on the run once, we're going to keep 'em on the run. And we're not going to pass unless their secondary comes up too close. But don't forget, men -- we're gonna get 'em on the run, we're gonna go, go, go, go, go! -- and we aren't going to stop until we go over that goal line! And don't forget, men -- today is the day we're gonna win. They can't lick us -- and that's how it goes... The First platoon men -- go in there and fight, fight, fight, fight! What do you say, men!"
Oh, my gosh! I think I just wet myself.

Just another classic clip. No design to be critiqued here.

Rockne sure knew how to inspire the fighter that is in all of us. Sign me up! I need some Rudy right about now.
