This is a fictional speech from the movie Miracle, which depicts the men’s Olympic hockey team defeating the Russians in 1980. This speech is purely inspirational, and thus draws almost solely upon pathos and ethos. Through his word choice and kairos Herb Brooks manages to evoke strong emotions in his team and fire them all up. This is further amplified by his constant referral to his audience as we, being very inclusive, and then at the crescendo putting everything on the individuals by referring to them as you.
