Day 22: Inspire

I'm going to travel off the court for Day 22.  While watching the Vikings play the Saints in the season opener, I noticed how fired up QB Drew Brees got his teammates.  I read into his pregame chants to learn some more.

Brees visited Guantanamo Bay in the offseason and spent time with many of the soldiers stationed there and in other areas. His chant was inspired by the U.S. Marines he visited there and decided to incorporate it into his pre-game pep talk. 

What do you do to inspire your teammates, your community and your family?  Drew Brees was able to inspire a town ravaged by Hurricane Katrina  through his motivational chants.

This is my slightly edited version of the Saints pregame chant.


When I say 1, you say 2. When I say win, say For the View.. ... 1! 2! Win! For the View!
When I say 3, you say 4. When I say win, you say some more. ... 3! 4! Win! Some more!
When I say 5, you say 6. When I say win, you say for kicks. ... 5! 6! Win! For kicks!
When I say 7, you say 8. When I say win, you say it's great. ... 7! 8! Win! It's great!
When I say 9, you say 10. When I say win, you say again. ... 9! 10! Win! Again!
Win! Again! Win! Again! Win! Again! Win! Again!
