Ryder Cup 2025 - All matters

The video will be one of the most important parts of a great win or just another little bit of salt in the wound of a bad loss.
 
Buzzing that you’re in the minority like and thousands will enjoy a bit of motivational/nostalgic/passionate bit of media to get the excitement ramped up

God this place is full of contrarian bores like
I mean nothing contrary about thinking motivational and self indulgent videos that do nothing but get a click bait is pointless and had absolutely zero passion in it.

I work in an environment where being motivational is massively required. But putting out videos like that for sports does nothing for me, I’d rather that was kept to the team room and we heard passion in interviews.

That video could be massively motivating for the Americans though with Europe saying it’s their time! Glad I could be boring for you 👍
 
The European team have really nailed down the emotional and motivational side of the RC

It’s not patriotic etc but there is something about the way they knit together and use the spirit of past RC’s and even more so the spirit of Seve and what the RC meant to him

I do like the fact that we've got 11 players and captain unchanged from last time out as well. That has to be a massive boost in terms of taking the energy forward from that victory. Whereas the US have six changes. Albeit, they lost, so you would want to change it up a bit I suppose.

Just one change. The Højgaard brothers have swapped

So what environment are you in were motivation is 'massively' required..........

100% this, it's a massive part of sport nowadays, any sport, gets you fired up and channels your emotion in the right way.

Military, take your pick from the several conflict zones I’ve been in, deployments etc. like I said “massively” required motivation and geeing people up especially when you’re asking people to go and do things that are shall we say less than ideal!

Still don’t believe you need a video like that out for everyone to fawn over and ultimately provide further motivation for the US team. If I were Bradley that’s the first thing I’d play in the team room, “look boys the Europeans are telling the world this is their time! This is our back yard use this to fuel your pride and put them in their place!”

Like I said just my opinion though 👌
 
Why release a motivational video at all ! That’s for the team room and the team to be internally motivated not for the fans to fawn over a video.

When interviews I fully expect players to say they’re going to win and the captain to say such things with confidence. But videos like this make me cringe! Any form of public motivation in sports in fact is cringe worthy

I enjoyed it and they made it to bolster support - one more fan and all that.

Suppose we all have different views of cringy, but you can't get away from it in this day and age.

It is huge now and Europe get it right

think it’s a huge difference between the type of motivation needed in sport and military

These type of videos are very much emotionally towards the players

And if you show it to the US team they would want to know how much extra they would get paid - that’s their motivation, money

Didn’t say it wasn’t different I just answer a question about what I do ! I still think it’s cringeworthy and should be kept for the team room.

Everyone’s motivation is different and the yes the yanks are getting paid but no that isn’t their only motivation for a few yes but not all. Anyway time to move on and talk about the RC itself not the cringeworthy videos👌
 
If you can't back yourself, who will.

Has sparked comments on here and that is the idea - the Americans will be wound up - perfect solution - well done to those who planned the video - job done!

Any other cringe points we need to consider @Lucifer MorningStar so as not to push your cringe buttons and keep the thread on track 😁

Grown men shouting mashed potato, club golfers doing aim point putting to the extreme and men taking theirs tops off to celebrate 😏
 
re 'motivational' vid

just watched it, couldn't decide between it being a trailer or an advert (I'm sure there's plenty similar being shown in NY for weeks now)
I was already motivated to watch what I can so it failed for me on that score but nice to watch in same way it is when watching teaser vid for next marvel movie

Exactly - just watched it myself, it's not 'motivation' for the Europe team, it's simply an advert for the event like you would see on Sky Sports, but obviously aimed at European viewers.

Only weird thing is, that YouTube account is simply named 'Ryder Cup' but it seems to post more European-biased stuff. Unless there's a USA 'motivational video' on there as well.
