APOLLOS HESTER PLAYS for the East View Patriots. When his team defeated Texas rivals Vandegrift in a game of football, Hester was pumped.

How pumped?

So pumped that he delivered an impromptu speech during a postgame interview that is motivational to the extreme and will make you feel like the world is yours to take on.

All it takes to be successful is an attitude. And that’s what our coach told us. He said, ‘Hey, 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. And it’s an awesome feeling.

At least if Apollos’ football career doesn’t work out, he knows he definitely has a future as a motivational speaker.
