Al Pacino's inch by inch speech

1. When he talks about himself, he has very deep emotions and sounds regretful when talking about his own life and his difficult times and what mistakes he has made. He believes he has lost his youth for things he has not done. He talks about his failures and successes and he uses that to motivate his young football players so they could sacrifice for their teammates, inch by inch so that they can climb back out of failure. He got a lot of failures but he has gained a lot from it by every inch that requires sacrifice and discipline.

2. The effects of Al's speech, is that he put a lot of volume, power, authority and emotion which touchees the players' hearts for example, the speech says, "On this team, we fight for that inch, we CLAW with our fingernails for that inch.". Al Pacino even uses very strong words and life's teaching to put fear into the players to they can be challenged to play their best. For example, the speech says:"When we add up all those inches that's going to make the *beep* difference between WINNING and LOSING, between LIVING and DYING.". Therefore, Al Pacino's speech is very motivational that the players all started cheering and all ready to play the game for each other.
