Any given

day - al pacino

● Before the speech, the football team seems to be in a dire place. Most likely because of

poor performance and teamwork in their game. After the speech, the team is losing but

comes back.

● I chose this speech because I personally enjoy motivational speeches about sports and

such considering I used to be an athlete.

● The target audience of the speech was his football players in the movie. I know this

because he makes it very clear he is talking to them and the situation they’re in.

● The speaker appeals to ethos by speaking of his own experiences. Letting his team know

that he has been in situations similar to this. He appeals to pathos by comparing the

basics of football and life. Saying things such as ‘it’s a game of inches’, and also

speaking of his past mistakes he has made in his life. He appeals to the audience’s logos

by using the earlier portions of the game saying that if they do not pick up their

performance, they will lose.

● The speech is very effective in the film because the audience reacts strongly to the pathos

the speaker used. They do as he says and try to get back in the game.

● If I was in the audience’s shoes, I feel like the speech most definitely would have worked

or at least been effective on me. I would have felt more motivation to play and do better.
