but without a plan there is no journey. Without a plan there is no vision. Without proper (inaudible) there is no vision. Without reading not reading my bible every day there is no vision. Without praying every day there is no journey, there is no destination
The speaker is going into another logos appeal, by bring up the result and without the necessities, you will get the end all result.
‘It’s all about the ‘U,’ because realistically it’s really all about you and what you want to do. Don’t waste no more. Write down everything even if you don’t think you need to write it down. I’m 41 years old and I still write down everything I eat to this day. In 23 years I haven’t eaten pork or beef, 23 years because I said I wanted to be the greatest. I don’t drink soda. I don’t eat after 8 o’clock. I drink two gallons of water every day. You think I like it? No I hated every day of training, but if it meant to lift my life as a champion the rest of my life I’d do it all over again.” “Every man here has an opportunity. Every parent here did one thing.

--I wanted to be that guy. I started push-ups at 10 years old to make sure no man would put his hands on my mom again. I just got through with 2,500 this morning. It don’t stop. Just because the game stops, it don’t stop.
Let me talk these leaders real quick. Let’s be men. Let’s lead young men that respects women, that respects their mothers, that respects the order. That’s what we breed. What coach (Mark) Richt has brought to this program and what he’s trying to bring back to this program is what we’re built
“Let me talk these leaders real quick. Let’s be men. Let’s lead young men that respects women, that respects their mothers, that respects the order. That’s what we breed. What coach (Mark) Richt has brought to this program and what he’s trying to bring back to this program is what we’re built on and that’s family. If I spread my fingers out individually (inaudible), but if I close my fist that’s a hell of a punch because they’re all working together. Make your decision. Figure out where you want to be.

I said I wanted to be talked about at Thanksgiving dinner when people are sitting around the table and they talked about the greatest who ever came through--I wanted to be that guy. I started push-ups at 10 years old to make sure no man would put his hands on my mom again. I just got through with 2,500 this morning. It don’t stop. Just because the game stops, it don’t stop.
LOGOS: The speaker then brings up the years that hes been and the the amount of mornings that he's gone through, and bring up thanksgiving and the gathering of people and find out who's the best
That’s what we do. If you want a brotherhood then you come down here. It aint no sales pitch. One thing about is we don’t sell people to come to the ‘U.’ Either you’re for us or you’re not. This aint a one-time thing. This isn’t a if-I-want-to-go or I’m-not-sure-I-want-to-go. If you don’t, it’s alright. But if you do your life will change forever. Doors will open for you that you aint never seen in your life open.

Beat me and it aint in no video games brother. Y’all don’t need to be the most popular person on Twitter. I’ll tell you what, when you step in between those lines that’s what we’re letting go. That’s what we’re letting go. We’re letting go the essence of what the University of Miami was built by. It’s built by pure competition. One on one battles. Then I’ve got to share something with you.

“All of the fast running out here, what happens when you go home? I promise you my greatest ability was not in front of a coach. It’s what I did on my own. That’s what my greatest gift was. When nobody was watching you that’s what I believe true discipline is. I believe discipline, true discipline, is when nobody is watching that you can make yourself. Challenge yourself. Do it for yourselves. Don’t look for somebody to praise you. Don’t look for videos to be the top ones. You know who you want to praise you? Every time they look up they will say something about you, something about you, and then they’ve go to tell the truth about you.
The speaker uses ethos in a way of showing emotion, by bring up family and challenging yourself, saying that the players show the greatest ability outside of football.
“But when I look into these kids’ eyes, when I look down I’m looking for something different. I don’t care how fast you run. I’ve never been the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, but I promise you aint a man flat out out-work me in my life because I made up my mind and it was bigger than just sports. I made up my mind to be in bible study every Wednesday night. I made up my mind to be in choir rehearsal every Saturday. I made up mind to lead Sunday school every Sunday. I made up my mind to go to the 4 o’clock service on Sundays. I made up my mind that I wanted my protection to be always over me and I wanted me to always be covered.
The speaker is now use logos because he points out the team in front of him saying they're a strong family that goes through the same problem and then he continues with talking about him studying the bible every time around 4 o'clock.
Everybody wants to follow, follow, follow, follow, follow. It’s amazing that social media can tell us something and we want to follow something before we respect you. Understand how valuable your brand is man. Everything that you put out there can now come back. That’s a fact. That’s where we are in life. Aint no more secrets. Aint no more getting away with nothin’ and so the only thing you can ever invest in is yourself. If I was going to bet on anything in my life I’m going to always bet on me.
The speaker is now approaching logos appeal by bring up social media, and saying that everybody wants to follow, and to not know if there will a sense of respect, and that the reader must understand how valuable their brand is.
You know how many camps in the country that’s going on right now? So what makes you different? What makes someone point you out in the crowd? What makes your legacy live forever?
