Assignment task: Write a speech of around 400. Knowing how to structure your speech is a matter of understanding what you must show or tell them in order to lead them to the desired conclusion. As an exercise, let's imagine you are in the same situation as Al Pacino's character in Any Given Sunday.
Write a speech about being a coach of a team who is doing terribly.
- How might you structure a motivational speech without copying the Any Given Sunday speech?
- What emotional states might make a person feel motivated?
- What examples might you give to invoke these emotional states? Work backward, and create a plan for a speech designed to motivate your team.
