Remember the Titans Coach Boone Speech

       In the movie "Remember the Titans" coach Boone is coaching a team of blacks and whites and he is attempting to bring the team together as a whole and be able to play together as a team. This speech is a turning point in the movie; he explains to his team that if they don't come together and start respecting each other, they will be destroyed just like the soldiers in the battle of Gettysburg. Even though this isn't a typical speech where someone is standing on a stage in front of an audience, it is still very effective. When he does look toward the team he makes eye contact with his players and has a serious look on his face. He wants them to know he means business and isn't joking around.

Ethos: Coach Boone explains his credibility, how he has a personal connection with the battle of Gettysburg and how it ripped his family apart. He is also an authority figure to these player and they know they have to respect him in order to be able to play for his team. His team can relate to it because if they don't come together they will be destroyed also.

Pathos:  The players can see that this has effected him personally and can see his emotional connection to not only the battle but also the game of football.

Logos:  Coach Boone intentionally took them on a run through the woods and for it to end up there on the battleground. He started out how he was personally affected, and then moves onto how they can relate to it and finally finishes with explaining what will happen if they don't take a lesson for it.
