This year gentlemen, I am honored to coach you, more honored to take you onto the field of battle. There is another honor to be bestowed upon you, that is the answer that comes with that question:
WHO AM I? I AM A CHAMPION!
That's right and i need you to remember that all throughout this year.
I will conquer what has not been conquered!
Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe what others have doubted. I will always endeavor the prestige, honor, and respect of my team. I have trained my mind and my body will follow!
I will acknowledge the fact that my opponents do not expect me to win, but i will never surrender. Weakness will not be in my heart. I will look to my comrades, to those who have brought me into this world and those who have trained me and i will draw strength from them!
I will gladly go out into the field of battle, and i will move, groove and do everything that I can do, and I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal. And when I get there, I will arrive violently. I will rip the heart from my enemy and leave it bleeding on the ground, because he cannot stop me!
To my side I have comrades, comrades that have been with me through thick and thin, through sacrifice, through blood, through sweat, through tears. Never will I let them fall. Never will I let them down and I will never leave an enemy behind, because our opponent does not know my heart!
No one will deny me, no one will defy me, and no one will tell me who and what I am and can be. Belief will change my world, it has moved continents and countries, and put man on the moon, and it will carry me through this battle.
Defeat, retreat those are not in my words, I don't understand those definitions, I don't understand when things go wrong, I don't understand mistakes, but I do understand this: I understand victory, and I understand never surrendering. NO matter how bad things go, my heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak!
Today will be that day, not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here, in your house, and in your home!
History will remember me, and I will not have to worry about him being kind. I will define myself. I will write my own praises. And no one will tell me what I can and cannot be. I will never go home, not without giving everything I have got!
WHO AM I? I AM A CHAMPION!
