Ray Lewis deserves a movie

“I grabbed this deck of cards, and I flipped a 7. And I started doing seven push-ups. I flipped a 6; I did six. I flipped a 9; I did nine. I flipped a 2; I did two. I flipped another 9; I did nine until I got all the way through the deck. Jack, Queen, King worth 10. Aces - 25 and Jokers - 50. Until I got sick and tired of what pain felt like in my gut…I shuffled them all over again, and I started doing sit-ups. I wanted to make sure sports wasn’t the reason I started training. It was to make sure another man never put his hands on my mama…" - Ray Lewis

Hearing my mom cry its the worst pain someone could ever feel

“The greatest pain of my life is the reason I’m standing here today!” - Ray Lewis

I will get to college. I will succeed. *I will not fail.*

I am sober and I will remain sober. Thank you ray Lewis, you keep me going

I started working out because of Ray. I finally got in great shape. I was in a bad accident, and was run over by a 4 wheel drive truck. The doctors said my great physical shape saved my life. Thank you Ray. I love you.

Can we please get a movie about Ray Lewis 😥😥

My Name is Daniel I'm 15 I live with my mum and my two brothers. My dad left us when I was ten.i want to achieve greatness and I thanks you for posting this video because it is helping me achieve greatness. THANK YOU

52 has a deeper meaning

I will be a Paramedic and a motivation to society in Jesus name 💪💯🙌

I WILL stop being skinny. I WILL conquer the gym. I WILL BECOME A CHAMPION

I can’t believe I shed a tear for a person I’ve never met. I’m so sorry for the pain Mr. Lewis is going through today. I can’t imagine my son summoned into afterlife before I.

I’m 58 years old and just finished my 3rd degree in accounting. I had a D+ average from an inner city high school with high odds against me, but videos like these encouraged me to reach for the God in me🙏🏾 Thank you!

Listening to this has motivated me to push myself to be apart of my school varsity football team, I might not be that strong, or athletic as others but Ray Lewis is a perfect example of determination and effort

the 1k people who disliked this video gave up

I showed this to my fish and now he is a shark Bruh I really made this comment a year ago and I never realized It got this many likes yo Thanks for da likes

I had the same problem and about a year ago I was a video about what ray Lewis did with the cards and I tried it and did it every day for 3 months and the next time my old step dad hit my mom I finally stood up for her and beat him up but it hurt me to do that but he put my momma in the hospital several times and he never messed with her again.

The beginning was the saddest story. As a mother, I would never want my son to walk through this darkness. It changes you permanently. I am glad he shared his story. But the pain of having a mother who had said chose abusive men often and having to bury that to succeed, is a feat. Too many stories are like this across all nationalities. I pray every young man who lived this or in this today, finds his promise and freedom. God knows you and is near....make effort to reach Him. It is a life-changer.

i listen to this every morning for the past year and still get goosebumps

That deck of cards concept is one of the most inspirational pieces of information I’ve ever heard. The incredible edge some humans have to survive and thrive is magnificent. ❤

There's 596 total reps in Ray's card method of training, he would do hundreds of push ups and then do sit ups until his body couldn't move. Then probably ran until his legs gave out from under him. His motivation was his mother, to make sure she will never have another man hurt her

Remember Ray showed up to Miami with 2 pencils, 2 white shirts, 2 jeans, a notebook and 20 dollars in food stamps.

Hands down the most honest and raw I've ever heard this man was a champion for a reason

How he says pain and how he feels what he is saying is really motivating. So passionate about his memories about his pain and about life...

i will make it to the NFL i will achieve my goals i will make my momma proud i will be the greatest

I ride the bench for my highschool team. I know I’m better than 5 of the players who play ahead of me and thats real talk. I choke during practice I freeze due to lack of confidence because I think to myself “I’ll never be as good as these kids” I get in my own head. I want it tho. I want it more than anybody. I want it for my family and I want it for everybody who is doubting me. I will get out of my own head. I will achieve my goal.

Knowing someone you love is hurting is the most depressing and motivating thing I’ve ever experienced.

His words brought a grown man to tears but I won’t give in. God is able🙏🏾

Started crying tears of anger about that man who used to beat Ray's mom while listening to this during my workout

"I wanted to make sure sports wasnt the reason I started training. ......It was to make sure man never put his hands on my momma again" - Ray Lewis. Goosebumps right there 🔥

All my life I've been told that I can't, I cant do anything right, I cant commit to anything, i cant be a leader, I dont know how to work hard, I cant be the best. Those closest to me, my own dad, everyone has always doubted me. That's my motivation. To prove everyone wrong. To show them what I'm capable of, and I'm already getting there. Im the captain of my football team, best defensive player there and I'm only a sophomore. I've never felt anything better than the moment when I got to say "I told you I could do it"

I will not hit the snooze button tomorrow morning!

I just saw this for the first time. I’m 14 and an athlete like big athlete. Effort and grind everyday 5 hours and more a day. Pain is nothing anymore I play through it. And I know I’m going to make it where I want to go.

Ray Lewis motivational speech is the best I have ever heard He came from nothing and never gave up or gave any excuses He put more EFFORT And Heart into everything in his life then most of the world !! One day we will cross paths .. He saved my life Gave me the strength to work even harder instead of leaving early .. God Bless you and your family .. You are a great Man Thank you Ralphie DiFalco

I'm in college and all I want to say is thank you Mr Lewis you help me when I was at my lows point of life my dad pass away on father day so I've been sad it been hard but one day I hear you giving a speech you help me from suicide now I'm in college gonna be a physical therapy to help other people

Probably my favourite speech of all time. Ray Lewis changed my life.

I listen to this every time I’m faced with a challenge and it always helps. Thank you Ray!

I want to dedicate this excellent leadership video to my son Tyler. Work thru the pain son and your future will be so ever amazing. The sky is the limit, you are the artist of your canvas of life, so paint your story with excellence and resiliency. I know you can do it my 1st born son. I love you...Dad

Ray lewis is the GOAT

"The greatest pain in my life, is the reason I'm standing here today!"

Reminds when I was in the army. We was doing are first ten mile road March. Full gear and even rocks in our rug sacks. It was several miles in. When we did a road March a deuce and a half road with us. Our drill sergeant said if you want to quit get in the back. I remember walking it was horrible. I kept looking at the truck. Drill sergeant walk up to me. Said once you get in the back the first time. Each time it will get easier. Than every time you are hurting you will quit private. This isn't forever what you are feeling. If you quit that will last forever. Keep thinking one more step. Than he just jogged up the line. I didn't look at the deuce and a half again. I kept looking at the ground. Kept thinking five more minutes. After five minutes I thought five more. Until we finished. Never forgot what that drill sergeant said.

Pain is temporary, dont you dare quit. On the other side of that pain is your promise..💪

Family is all that matters at the end of the day. Dont waste your life away, only spread positivity peace everyone.

I don’t understand how this video could get any dislikes! This video not only gives motivation but the fuel to act on the motivation 🙌🏽❤️

The longest 13minutes and 59 seconds of my life and it was worth it

Ray Lewis will be in the nfl hall of fame one day because of his drive in life

Thank you for keeping me away from depression, suicide, guilt, doubt... your the reason I didn’t commit 😞 thank you ray for being another father role model 🙏

4:40 to 5:40 has got to be the greatest minute in history of motivation. That one single minute.

I will be fearless, I will change my community, I will get my mother a house, I will leave out a legacy, I will be the best version of myself everyday, I will give out the blessing I’m set out to be. Gods will Thank you 🙏🏾

This is a movie in the making . I hope it manifests one day

I legit shed a tear, I would drop down and give 50 push-ups for Ray Lewis

I’ve listened to this so many times I could say it by heart but anytime I need extra motivation or drive I listen to this, I remember the first time I found this speech was before one of my games. I had more drive I’ve ever felt

I got hurt my senior year of HS football. Torn labrum in my hip, torn acl, mcl, and a stress fracture also in my hip. Doctors told me I would never play again. I had offers from several D3 schools and I couldn’t take any of them. They all gave up on me when I got hurt. For months, I cried, sat around, even tried the easy way out. Then I stumbled upon Ray, Kobe, Ali, Goggins and I started listening. I started the 52 cards, putting in hours on and off the field not for everyone who told me I can’t and I won’t, but that I can say to myself I did and I will. I am a frosh in college now, still working towards a walk on whoever will take me. Thanks Ray.

This as a movie would be incredible 🤯

Wow, what a damn speech... FACT$!!👏👈

I look at this every morning before I go to work

*Even though we've never met and probably won't, I wish everyone reading this the very best of luck in life*

When you want to succeed, your gonna fail, life doesn’t care who you are it’s gonna fail you and make you wanna quit it doesn’t matter how many times you fail, it all matters on how many times you keep moving forward.

I enjoy listening to this while working out 💪 And I’ve followed the NFL for 15 years and finally knew why Ray Lewis wore #52 today. What a deep meaning and one of the best linebacker I’ve ever seen play!

I am 12 years old. My middle school football team is on its second season being undefeated. I am a strong side line backer and forced 4 fumbles in my last game. But every game I play is for my dad. He died two years ago the same year i started playing football. Every game I get mad that i couldnt have just stayed home another two hours and he would still be here but i lost him. So now every game I keep those two hours i was gone in mind and i hit as hard as i can i think to myself however hard i hit this next dude is how much i miss my dad.

“ There’s another side of pain, that’s called effort “ Ray Lewis

Who in the hell cutting up onions over here ?😭

How he says pain and how he feels what he is saying is really motivating. So passionate about his memories about his pain and about life Ray Lewis When some people think of Ray Lewis they think of a person that cheated his way out of murder charges. There is also a majority of people that think that he is one of the greatest linebackers and people of all time. In my opinion just the fact that he bounced back from false murder charges with such enthusiasm was remarkable. He is also a leader on and off the football field and is mentally an physically strong. Also Ray is arguably the best middle linebacker to ever play the game of football. Ray Lewis should be considered a modern day hero because of all of these attributes. Ray Lewis is a modern day hero because of his leadership on and off the football field. One of many examples of Lewis’s leadership is seen everywhere he goes. According to an article, “Lewis is a leader to many people including myself. Sometimes before game at team hotels he has public speaking sessions describing himself and what he has been through in his entire life. In these speaking events he tells how God plays a huge part of life and how that God is the answer to many of your problems. ” Brubaker 3. What Brubaker is saying that Lewis is a leader everywhere he goes even away from the football field and he wants people to know that even though they might they think their lives are bad that to never give up and that you will always find a way through. Lewis also shows amazing leadership qualities on the football field. Statistics show that when he is not playing that the Baltimore Ravens are a different football team. According to an article, “At no point of the 2012 season did the Ravens have Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis on the field at the same time. Suggs and Lewis are the emotional leaders for that defense, always inspiring teammates with their powerful remarks and refusal to give up”

You will break my heart destroy my pride but you will never break my spirt or my passion

Whoever put these videos together did an excellent job, from the sound clips to the music score. Awesome 💪💪💪

Respect, Mr. Lewis. I can't imagine the pain you went through, sir. This has put me to tears. No child should go through what you went through, Mr. Lewis. God bless you, sir.

Gives me chills every time. Everyone who knows me knows RayRay is my all time fave.
