Below Are Tim Tebow Famous Motivational Speeches

The Promise (September 2008 after Gator’s home loss to Mississippi)

I just want to say one thing. 

To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry, extremely sorry.

I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. 

You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season, and you will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season, and you will never see a team play harder that we will the rest of the season. 

God bless.

- Tim Tebow

Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete Award banquet (May 2011, Keynote Speaker)

(Excerpts)

“I was invited to come here last year and, due to being drafted by the Broncos and having OTAs, I couldn’t miss practice. I had to miss it, and I’m sorry. I’m extremely honored to be here this year and very excited.”

“Thank you to everyone who is involved, because it is very special what you do. It’s very inspirational to me to get to meet you, to get to know you. Over the past year and a half to get to understand what goes on and what you do is truly an honor. It’s very prestigious and I am very humbled to be here.”

“I believe that athletes, students, individuals deserve to be praised when they have worked hard to accomplish something. This event is not for me. I don’t deserve to be honored. I haven’t done anything. But you athletes, you have accomplished a lot that is extremely special. I am here to honor you and to say, ‘Well done.’”

“It’s incredible what you’ve done. It’s inspiring for me because you are the best of the best. You are leaders, you are role models and you’re the best of your generation. Through my speech tonight I hope you’re encouraged, I hope you’re inspired, I hope you can learn something. But also know that I am inspired by you, and to keep it up.”

“Along the way there’s going to be a lot of obstacles, a lot of adversity, a lot of people who will tell you you’re not good enough. I’m here to tell you that you are. Everyone that tells you that you’re not is because they didn’t accomplish something.”

“All of you facing tough decisions in your life right now, having to pick between schools, having to decide what you want to do with your future, I’ve got a little advice for you — trust God with it and do what you’re passionate about. That’s why I went to the University of Florida. I chose to go with someone I believed what passionate (Urban Meyer).”

“Success comes in a lot of ways, but it doesn’t come with money and it doesn’t come with fame. It comes from having a meaning in your life, doing what you love and being passionate about what you do. That’s having a life of success. When you have the ability to do what you love, love what you do and have the ability to impact people. … That’s having a life of success. That’s what having a life of meaning is.”

“For all you young people, you’re going to have an opportunity to do a lot of things in your life. Choose to do what you love. Choose to do what you’re passionate about, not what gives you the most money, not what gives you the most fame. That is fleeting, and that is fake. That will never give you happiness.”

“Every day that I step on a football field, baseball diamond, basketball court, classroom, event, whatever it is, I try to live my life with passion.”

“Passion is not adrenaline. A lot of people can get adrenaline when they start something. They can get real fired up and motivated. That’s not passion. Passion is when it’s hard. Passion is when you don’t want to wake up early in the morning. Passion is when you don’t want to stay up late studying but you do. Passion is something that comes from deep down inside. It is not when I’m on the field and I throw my arms up (in celebration). That’s adrenaline. Passion is all the nights you can’t see me working. Passion is all the nights you stay up training for your football game. Passion is when you’re tired and still doing what you know is right and what needs to be done. That’s passion.”

“Do you love what you do, and do you live with passion? If you do, it will affect everyone around you. Passion is contagious because not a lot of people have it. People want to be around passion. Ultimately I believe that it will make you successful in whatever its is that you want to do. If you have passion in your life, if you are willing to sacrifice for what you love, I believe you’ll be successful at it. I believe all of you (Winged Foot nominees) have done that, and that’s why you’re here.”

“Do you have the ability to finish strong? So many people have the ability to start something. Very few have the ability to finish strong because it’s very hard. There are a lot of trials, a lot of tribulations, a lot of adversity you will all face many times. Do you have what it takes to finish strong?”

“Things are going to be hard. There are so many obstacles. But if you already realize that and set in your mind that, ‘Whatever comes my way, I’m going to overcome it,’ … you’re going to finish strong, like we did in 2008 (at Florida) in winning the national championship.”

“Sports mean a lot to a lot of people in this room, but at the end of the day, they’re just sports. It’s not life. It isn’t just finishing strong in sports. Do you have what it takes to finish strong in life?”

“Do you have what it takes to finish strong in your sport, to finish strong in your job? More importantly, do you have what it takes to finish strong in life? Do you have what it takes? For all you athletes, I believe that you do. You inspire me, you encourage me. God bless you. Keep it up. Have passion, love what you do and finish strong.”

Tim Tebow Post Patriots Game Playoffs (January 2011)

“Any time you’re getting beaten like that, you just continue to fight. It doesn’t change who you are, how you play, how you go out there – you should be the same at all times. That’s what I wanted to show and it didn’t matter if it was the first play or the last play or if we were down by 42, I was going to be the same player and I was going to still give everything I have because that’s all I have to give. Every time I step on the field, I’m going to give my whole heart regardless of the score.”

I follow RevRun on Twitter and receive his Daily Words of Wisdom.  There was one wisdom quote he quoted below:

Good morning. Our greatest danger is not that our goals are to high and we miss it.
Our greatest danger is that our goals are to low and we reach them!

God is Love
Rev Run

I find this very true because success is in the eye of the beholder.  Are you successful just because you reached your goals?  It could be that your goals are so low or “REASONABLE” to achieve but does that fulfill your desire?

Dream the impossible and do the impossible.  Place your expectations and goals HIGH and if you reach those goals, set a new goal. Never be complacent and always strive for the best.

Having High Goals Even If We Miss It is a post from: Self Confidence | Positive Thinking | Personal Development - Justified Lions

When I was in High school, at every prep rally right before a big football game, our whole school would recite a motivation creed to get the whole school pumped up.

The creed went something like this:

I am Somebody

I will strive

I will persevere

and I will win

because I am somebody

Now the whole entire school and staff would get up from their seats, chant these lines from the top of their lungs and transform themselves into a hype machine filled with energy.  It was an amazing spectacle at my school because if you were rebelling and didn’t wish to stand you were easily spotted and casted out.  I would have to say that not many if any were left sitting down not joining in the big chant.

Self Preparation

Now we all know about pep talks and self mood lifts that will help you prepare for the rest of the day, mainly known from the great mentor Tony Robbins.

Self preparation is nothing new and is often overlooked in incorporating into your daily routine or right before a big major event.  The reason for a creed or a pep talk is to get you mentally prepared for the challenges that awaits for you for the rest of the day.  You never want to do anything without being first prepared for something.  Just like you would never take a test without studying first the same should be looked at when going into a big event or even on a daily basis to overcome daily challenges.

Once you coach yourself to success then you will manifest success from your thoughts to reality.  Get into the habit of practicing this often.  If you believe then you will achieve.  Start believing.

Champions Creed

One of the greatest creeds out there is a from a three-time Olympian named Ruben Gonzalez.  He developed a Champion Creed used by many athletes, survivors (abuse, cancer etc), students and many more that uses the creed as a crutch into manifesting their hopes and dreams into reality.

Develop your own Champion Creed that is more tailored to your niche and start incorporating it into your schedule.

The Power of Positive Thinking

Below I will outline 7 powerful positive thinking tips to help you with your motivation and drive on a daily basis.

Studies show that people who participate in Positive Thinking lead more successful and happier lives than people who don’t.  The biggest difference between Success and Failure is that root of that person’s attitude.  Whatever a man thinketh so is he is an old proverb that basically means if you believe in being successful, you will be and if you believe you will fail then you will fail too.

To help you with your challenges and obstacles in life that may hinder a Positive Attitude, here are some motivational tips to keep you on track to success.

7 Tips for Daily Positive Thinking & Motivation

1. Surround Yourself With Positive & Motivating People - They say that success is built on the foundation of surrounding yourself with successful and like minded individuals in business.  The same process can be applied in Positive Thinking Motivation.  Positive Energy is contagious and you will want to keep your environment and entourage filled with Positive people.

2.  Gratitude - Incorporating gratitude in you life greatly improves you becoming more happy and content in your life.  Realizing first that you must be thankful for what you have and to be happy with what you have will put you in a position of already achieving happiness.  If you are always complaining about things you don’t have then you will never be happy.  Be grateful and be blessed.

3.  Start Your Day By Envisioning Success – Everyday start your day by envisioning your goals that you want to accomplish for that day and empowering yourself in being successful.  Start by getting into the habit of already achieving success by first envisioning it.  You want to be in a winners mindset each day rather than starting your day off with a negative spin.  Just because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning, turn it around by envisioning a successful rest of the day.

4.  Persistence – Michael Jordan has missed over 9,000 shots in his career and Thomas Edison performed 50,000 experiments before he succeeded in producing a light bulb.  Failures is the biggest downfall for most people where they give up too easily and think just because they failed a few times, it’s impossible.  Success is only failure turned upside down, we learn to be the best by learning from our mistakes and growing from them.  Do not give up, push yourself to the limit and go above and beyond that.  Stay focused on the goal at hand and don’t miss out on opportunities by giving up, that extra effort, that extra try may be the winning ticket to success.

5.  Be a Leader – Don’t just sit on the sidelines waiting for the world to change and expecting others to change for your benefit.  Grab success by its horns and take charge.  Go out and be the leader where you can inspire others to become positive and productive too.  Having people becoming inspired and being a role model for excellence will also help you establish in surrounding yourself with successful people.  Don’t wait for things to happen, go out and make things happen.

6.  Goal Setting – Have a plan for success.  Set your goals on a daily piece of paper and plan out your priorities from the top to bottom.  Finish each task before starting another.  With long term goals plan out a vision board and business plan for the rest of the year.  Having goals outlined in your life will give the drive and motivation you need to become happy and successful in life.

7.  Work Out & Eat Right – In order to take care of yourself on the inside you must also reflect wise decisions on the outside.  Eating healthy and working out will keep in you a great state of being more productive and help maintain an active mind.  You will become less groggy and more focused in concentration.   A great anecdotal evidence to cure for writer’s block has always been going for a long walk, run, or hitting the gym most would tell you.
