IT’S a speech made for Monday mornings. One that could rival those made by fictional sport coaches in a Hollywood film. And it was delivered by a teenager.

High school footballer Apollos Hester’s post-game interview with a local news station has gone viral. For good reason too.

If you ever needed a pick-me-up, just listen to the gospel of Hester to cure what ails ya.

The East View Patriots running back was speaking to Texas’ TWC News reporter Lauren Mickler after a win when he launched into a longwinded inspirational spiel.

“All right, well, at first we started slow, we started real slow, and you know, that’s all right, that’s OK, because sometimes in life, you’re gonna start slow,” he said.

“We weren’t defeated, but they had us. But it took guts, it took an attitude — that’s all it takes. That’s all it takes to be successful.

“And that’s what our coach told us. He said, ‘Hey, it’s gonna be tough. It’s gonna be tough. It’s gonna be hard. You’re gonna go out there, you’re gonna battle, you’re gonna fight, you’re gonna do it for one another. Do it for each other, you’re gonna do it for yourself, you’re gonna do it for us, and you’re gonna go out with this win.’

“And we believed that, we truly did.”

“Awesome”.

Are you not pumped?
