If you've found it difficult to get pumped for weekend pigskin this season, we can't blame you. Following football in 2014 has been a bummer with the NFL's myriad off-the-field issues.
That's why we love this postgame interview with high school senior Apollos Hester. The 6-0, 190-pound receiver for the East View Patriots, of Georgetown, Texas, gave the most amped, motivating, and refreshing speech that we don't think was pulled directly from a movie script. (Not to be outdone, these NFL Stars Share Their Secrets to Success.)
Hester has reason to be flashing a huge smile as his team trailed, 28-14, at the half before storming back. Hester grabbed a 25-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 28. His team went on to win, 42-41, and improve to 4-0 for the season.
If this speech doesn't make you want, as the anchorman says near the end, to run through a brick wall to start your week, you might be unmotivatable, if that's a word.
