Motivation Monday Speech: Full Steam Ahead
by Jon Gums – Dakota Grappler
Wrestlers, athletes, and warriors alike—today is the day we rise, and today is the day we take the world on full steam ahead!
When you step onto the mat, into that gym, or out into the world, there’s only one thing you need to keep in mind: You are here to conquer.
You’ve got dreams, goals, and ambitions, and today—right now—is the moment you show the world you mean business. Because if you’re going to take on the world, there’s no half-stepping. We don’t come to play, we come to win.
But remember this: success is not handed to you. It’s earned, and it’s earned the hard way—through sweat, through pain, and through relentless effort. Every bead of sweat that hits the mat, every rep in the weight room, every second of discomfort is what separates the ordinary from the extraordinary.
Today’s Catchy Mantra:
“Grit, Grind, and Get It Done!”
Let this mantra pulse through your veins. Grit is your will to push when others quit. Grind is the extra set, the extra mile, the extra hour when no one’s watching. And Get It Done—that’s your mindset. No excuses, no hesitation, just pure execution.
Grit: Face the Pain
Grit is staring the impossible straight in the eye and saying, “I will not break!” You’ve got more in you than you think. You’ve faced pain before, and what did you do? You pushed through! Because the truth is, the only way out is through. The only way to grow is to endure, to embrace that pain and make it fuel for your journey.
Grind: Outwork Everyone
They’re going to doubt you… They’re going to look at you and think they know what you’re capable of—but they don’t. Why? Because you outwork them all. They’ll see you succeed, but they’ll never see the hours, the sacrifice, the grind you put in behind closed doors. That’s your edge—the grind no one else sees.
Every practice is a chance to get better. Every rep is a step toward greatness. And every time you feel like you can’t go any further, that’s the moment you realize, you’ve got more to give.
Get It Done: No Excuses
Today is not a day for excuses. We didn’t come here for shortcuts. We didn’t come to back down. You came here to get it done. So put on your Get-It-Done Face—the face that says I’m here to win, no matter what.
Forget the pain. Forget the tiredness. Forget the obstacles. Winners don’t make excuses. Winners find a way.
Conclusion:
The world doesn’t care about your dreams—but you do. And that’s what makes all the difference. When you go full steam ahead, when you charge forward without hesitation, the world doesn’t stand a chance. Because the only person who can stop you—is you.
So today, tomorrow, and every day after—remember: Grit, Grind, and Get It Done! That’s your mindset. That’s your mission. Now go out there, take the world head-on, and show them what you’re made of.
Final Words:
Eyes up, head down, fists clenched. You’ve got this. Full steam ahead, and don’t stop until you’re standing at the top!
