Without a doubt, Friday Nights is an all time favorite for me. In this short clip coach Gary is looking for a way to motivate his team in the State Championship game after getting embarrassed in the first half. Coach displays several characteristics of the Relational Leadership Model. He empowers and demonstrates the inclusive component with his football team by believing each member on the team is a key component. He wants the team to know that each and every guy in the locker room is your brother, someone who is gonna be with you in the midst of the battle and never weary. Someone you can count on. The purpose here was to get the team to understand that this is more than just a football game, It is something more than just winning or losing. It is the journey it took to get to this point. He stresses perfection on the field, but what he truly means is being the best man you can be off the field. He wanted to develop strong character through the adversities of football. If you can do that, you are the true winner despite what the score indicates. You won the overall battle against yourself.
