Inspirational Rowing Boatrace Inches

[043fieo043]

hi, joining a rowing team soon and was just wondering how crucial is height? Thought I would ask people who have rowing experience. I'm 6 foot, is that gunna limit my ability to be competitive or is stuff like muscle endurance more important? Thanks to anyone that responds :)

[johrman04]

who's voice is in the video?

[XDXPification]

@johrman04 Al pacino I think

[rowingisalifestyle]

any one else listen to this before every race?

[bloodredcola]

My coach quoted this during our workout the other day, laughed so hard I almost fell off the erg.

[EvanEatsPie]

@bloodredcola Why did you laugh ?

[bloodredcola]

@EvanEatsPie because she was trying to be extremely serious and it just didn't work. Also I think she was hoping no body had heard it before.

[EvanEatsPie]

@bloodredcola kk :p

[dreamer8995]

As a sophmore in highschool and female rowing opens up a lot. I gained as many pounds of muscle as i have of mental disibilities. Because i row i am who i am!!

<3 Row New York

[Kellyoxxo]

i just want to hear this tomorrow when i have my race.

[smosh704]

@nicolehorsley there's no way they did 6k in 10 minutes. the world record for the 2k is in the 5 minute range

[nicolehorsley]

This is a 6km race for universities in South Africa...so it is over 10 minutes.

[jm338]

'erg' every rowers nightmare, correction... reality

[njordpromo10]

great movie, love the tension! pictures my favorite sport just perfect...

more rowing @ my channel ;)

[mushabooooooom]

my race is in 2 days....so im building up my motivation and getting all pumped up :)

..its just a little depressing to think that this speech is actually for football, not rowing :(

[buffalo6542]

@mushabooooooom But the concept and message of it are the same. If you go and just replace a few of the words in the speech, it'll fit rowing perfectly.

[mushabooooooom]

@buffalo6542

true. this speech is so inspiring though. my crew knows every word, and it definitely helped us place 4th in nationals!

[grogy69]

monkey wars..if your races take 10mins then your crew must be so shit its not funny! races at school level should take about 6 10 in an 8+

[ougal84]

Barney Williams, when Oxford President, made his crew watch this... it inspired them to victory in bad weather... come on my mighty mighty Dark Blues... with you every stroke of the way... give em hell tomorrow :-)

[colonyboyz1]

at the start when he said 3 minutes of you life :)

man i wish rowing a 2km took 3 mins would cut off 1:30 of fucking pain

[ougal84]

@colonyboyz1 4:30 for 2k??? are you Rob Waddell, Matthew Pinsent and Andy Hodge rolled into one? that's a world record by quite some distance? ;-)

[massiveeyes]

We listened to this the evening before racing at BUCS regatta. Got us well psyched. Flew to the final, were gaining fast on the leading crew in the last 500 then our no.7 caught a crab.... The WORST moment of my rowing career! Still bagged a bronze. But that's not gold.

[korsimorsi]

It's Al Pachino... What else can you expect ;)

[Skatingismylife93]

Listened to this before a 6k, so inspiring that I beat my last time by over 4min. Even though it wasn't made for rowing this speech describes the sport soooo well.

[Baronfilms]

2k tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1080bloby]

Pain is temporary, victory is forever =P

[theotherspice]

i listen to this before erg tests, regattas, of just when im having one of those "why do i row, again?" days :P

2k test tomorrow!!!! ahhh

[nikolacsmaster]

This embodies rowing.

[icewolfmaiden]

[jonnybellman]

What is the name of this song? I would really like to have it. Thanks

[Sapde]

It is Al Pacino from the movive any given sunday

[ronanisverycool]

The song itself is Peace by Paul Kelly. Hard enough to find.

[TheHerihor]

@jonnybellman under the speech it's Paul Kelly - Peace

[Blackoutproject]

@jonnybellman "peace" by Paul Kelly

[Breadstick1234]

@jonnybellman its called 'Peace' by Paul Kelly

[bax0001]

that barrington?

[yitsjack]

the movie is so cool

[tome312]

hey great vid dude! uh can u keep this on until track season? id b good motivation...

[cr125lover69]

great video tru shit

[phatbman]

my crew used the same sound clip for their video. Good job guys.

[aux1aux2]

This one and the halftime speech from Friday Night Lights are the best speeches, because they explore the depth and purpose of teams... it's not about the sport, it's about the team.. take out the word football and put any team sport you want and it will still apply.. I played soccer in high school and we listened before our county game final and it became the perfect motivational ingredient

[monkywars]

no dude jesus christ i was saying it sucks that this is from some football movie.... wow and just so u no a race is 10 miniutes so its not the longest 10 minutes its like 5 ...... so mayyybe u should learn a little...

[Sapde]

U make very little sense

[anthonymeyza]

@monkywars I agree with Sapde you're making no sense whatsoever plus you would be doing any distance race so your point is useless. Then again seeing as your comment was made a year ago surely you'll have learnt by now.

[brayidur]

@monkywars actually it depends on the boat and the race type, a sprint { spring races } are between 4 and 8 but in the fall its between 10 and 20 depending on the boat water and coarse length.

[MrRoflgasmic]

@monkywars calm and it depends what race you are doing? if you are talking about a 2K you are slow mate :L

[PandemoniumBandable]

@MrRoflgasmic 5 mins slow for a 2k? :S or 10 mins?

[MrRoflgasmic]

@PandemoniumBandable nah 10 mins is slow for a 2K, wow i would be signing you for oylimpics if you could do a 5 min 2K!

[MrRoflgasmic]

@MrRoflgasmic yea 10 minutes is fuck slow for a 2K :L im doing like 7 mins ish not done a 2k test in ages and yes i would love to do a 2k in 5 mins :P

[PandemoniumBandable]

@PandemoniumBandable oh no i wasnt saying i did 2k in 5 was just wondering what u were saying it to :P

[SacaredKnight]

@monkywars English translation:

No dude jesus christ, I was just saying it sucks that this is from a football movie...Wow, and just so you know a race is not 10 minutes so it's not the longest 10 minutes, its like 5.... So mayyyybe you should learn a little (about rowing)

[MrRoflgasmic]

@monkywars yea tell me that the longest race is 10 minutes when im about to row in the british schools head of the themes race which is 7K so maby you should learn a little!

[MrRoflgasmic]

@monkywars i dunno what your on about you make no sense at all... just saying that you get longer races than 10 minutes

[FluorescentGreen2]

I gt a race sunday ! so i gt told to watch it for motavation!

put if u want to win that much want to be proud of you and your club you should alreadi be motavated!

Still gud speech and makes sence !

[the1great1turd]

ok i dont care if its a footy speech caus its an ott fotty speech. fits rowing perfectly. absoloutly epic, watchin it now,i got a race 2moz so watchin it 4 motivation.

[mvanoyen]

You are right - this speech is perfect for rowing as well.

(Oh yeah, it's Al Pacino in the movie Any Given Sunday)

[aweltkbs]

this speech was about football. it says "that's football" right in it, but if you change a few words it fits perfectly for crew. seriously calm down he was pissed casue it was from a football movie not casue you used it.

[monkywars]

sucks this speech is from a fotball movie i was so pissed when i found that out!

[tonio2669]

good movie !!!!!

can you give the name of this music please???

thank's

[jamotyrrell]
