"Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it."
- Kurt Russell playing Herb Brooks in "Miracle."
This speech gets me every time! This was the most inspirational speech given to athletes ever. What stands out to me and what motivates me from this speech is the part about it being "their time." The reason this motivates me is because with my professional and just performing well in anything I do, I go into with the mindset of it is my time and I am going to give it all I got in that moment until everything is finished.

Great movie to pick a great inspiring quote from, Miracle is one of the top five on my best flics next to Saving Private Ryan
