Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: It is March the first today, which means footies back
Speaker 2: this month, which is a reason to be cheerful. And
Speaker 2: this is the moment right where footy fans, even though
Speaker 2: maybe you didn't have the season you felt that you
Speaker 2: deserved last year and your team gave you, You've still
Speaker 2: got hope, right, It's all ahead of you. It's potential,
Speaker 2: the wins, the close losses, like really close losses, maybe
Speaker 2: you're going to make Maybe this year it will be
Speaker 2: your year.
Speaker 1: Potential for downtrodden teams like Essen has been not a
Speaker 1: lot of success in the last ten years. We actually
Speaker 1: lived for this time of the season because hope is
Speaker 1: all we really have.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, there's something new can come along. So
Speaker 2: the lifeblood of footy in this country right is really
Speaker 2: the young fans. Because the young fans the one at
Speaker 2: an early age when you really are they like your
Speaker 2: first loves, really your team, your bands, they really are.
Speaker 2: It's the highlight of your weekend, hanging out with relatives.
Speaker 2: You've probably been fans of that club as well, going
Speaker 2: to games and if you're been lucky, you know, are
Speaker 2: all gathering around you in the finals and a grand
Speaker 2: final for your team. Families have got stories about where
Speaker 2: you've been over the years, and generations of where you've
Speaker 2: been during grand final games. You remember the great ones
Speaker 2: in the moments. It starts at a young age is
Speaker 2: when we become a fans. You've got that young, wide
Speaker 2: eyed super passion, right you dream that the next game,
Speaker 2: the next game will be the one for your team.
Speaker 2: They're doo good. So we've got something for you guys
Speaker 2: because you actually we are the next generations of fans.
Speaker 2: You'll be the ones, aren't when your son Gordon is
Speaker 2: a couple of years older. I bet you're looking forward
Speaker 2: to to taking them untill a game.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Actually, isn't it perfectly poised to have
Speaker 1: success in about five years time when you've appreciate it.
Speaker 2: It's a long range, five year plan. So what we
Speaker 2: want to do then, we're calling this mini motivators and
Speaker 2: what we want the young fans, whether you're a teenager,
Speaker 2: fifteen or sixteen, oil eight or nine, you can't wait
Speaker 2: for the start of this season. We want you actually
Speaker 2: to record your rev up speech, a pump up speech
Speaker 2: if you were this weekend or next week before round
Speaker 2: one starts. If you were to walk into room and
Speaker 2: all your favorite players are there and they're wearing your
Speaker 2: jumper shirt, what actually would you say to them? Right?
Speaker 2: You'd let them know maybe what a fan you were,
Speaker 2: and how you hope this year. You hope for more
Speaker 2: that they can rise to bigger heights and forget about
Speaker 2: last year. That's the past. It's all about what's to come.
Speaker 2: This season is going to be your season. And I
Speaker 2: think a mini motivated coming in but have a really
Speaker 2: big impact on them. It reminds them of when they
Speaker 2: first got to playing footy. They reconnect that fire in
Speaker 2: them and that's what they need right now. They need
Speaker 2: their fires to be lit. The players, your players, they
Speaker 2: need you, They need the mini motivators. By now, they've
Speaker 2: had all the coaches, they've had all the psychologists, they're
Speaker 2: relatives saying this season, you know, focus, do this a
Speaker 2: bit differently. They need something different, which is why I think,
Speaker 2: actually the mini motivators are very important this season. So
Speaker 2: we really want you to record your rev up speech now.
Speaker 2: Rev Up reminds me of a song by Josh Grobin.
Speaker 2: You lift me up, You to fight you you why
Speaker 2: But your voice is myightie. You ref them.
Speaker 1: Mons so they can win the fly.
Speaker 2: That is beautiful. You've remmed us all up with that.
