The LAST GAME - Be Perfect!
Thursday will be the end of our season, and for many of our seniors it may be the end of their football careers. The film "Friday Night Lights" summarizes the thoughts of the last game very succintly - The text of Coach Gaines' halftime speech is below.
Seniors we will surely miss you - Juniors, Sophomores & Freshmen- make this game your next one towards greatness.
Be Perfect.
"Friday Night Lights" 2004 - Coach Gaines:
Well, its real simple: You got two more quarters and that's it.
Now most of you have been playin this game for ten years. And you got two more quarters and after that most of you will never play this game again as long as you live. Now, ya'll have known me for awhile, and for a long time now you've been hearin' me talk about being perfect.
Well I want you to understand somethin'. To me, being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to yourself and your family and your friends.
Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down, because you told them the truth. And that truth is that you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could've done.
Can you live in that moment, as best you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen, then you're perfect.
I want you to take a moment. And I want you to look each other in the eyes. I want you to put each other in your hearts forever, because forever's about to happen here in just a few minutes.
I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to think about Boobie Miles, who is your brother. And he would die to be out there on that field with you tonight. And I want you to put that in your hearts.
Boys, my heart is full. My heart's full."
