Pre Game Speech
Hi I am game tonight and I really working on my players being "Tough". I have begun to use AI to help with some of this. Here is the prompt I used and it is important to write a good prompt with those 6 ideas TASK: Write a 60-second pregame locker room speech focused on toughness, execution, and dictating the game. The speech should be concise, impactful, and designed to be delivered immediately before tip-off. ROLE: You are a Hall-of-Fame high school basketball coach speaking directly to your team in the locker room. Your voice is calm, confident, authoritative, and coach-to-player — not motivational speaker or hype man. CONTEXT: This pregame talk emphasizes being the tougher team, running our offensive system with discipline, and imposing defensive pressure. The goal is to dictate pace, physicality, and style of play rather than reacting to the opponent. The team needs clarity, confidence, and edge. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: The speech should be approximately 60 seconds when spoken aloud. Use short sentences and natural pauses. Keep the language simple, direct, and locker-room appropriate. Emphasize that toughness equals discipline, executing our offense when it’s hard, applying pressure without gambling on defense, and maintaining a next-play mentality. BOUNDARIES: Do not use clichés, cheesy motivational phrases, profanity, or yelling tone. Avoid long explanations, rambling, or detailed play names and scouting information. The message should be sharp and focused. REASONING: The purpose is to create a message that players can remember and repeat mentally during adversity, helping them stay tough, disciplined, and connected while executing under pressure. Fellas, bring it in. Tonight is about toughness. Not talk. Not talent. Toughness. Toughness means we’re disciplined. We run our stuff with pace and purpose. Hard cuts. Solid screens. Sprint into actions. When it gets hard, we don’t go rogue — we get sharper. We execute. We trust. We stay connected. Defensively, we dictate.

I’ve never thought about using AI for a pregame speech, but that’s solid.

I enjoy seeing and hearing new things and new ideas. I’m just looking for some bits and pieces I can take to my teams and implement. Whether that’s offense, defense, ATO situation, out of bounds plays. Whatever it is. I love to learn about the game and learn from other successful coaches on how and why they win, and keep winning.
