WATCH: Coach gives impassioned pregame speech in final game of his career

Rocky Nelson coached Woburn (Mass.) for the last 31 years and has been involved with the program in different capacities since 1970.

On Thanksgiving, the 72-year-old addressed his players for the final time, moments before Woburn took on Winchester.

Nelson delivered an impassioned pregame speech that will give you goosebumps:

“The first thing I want to remind you: This is not about me, this is about you!” Nelson began.

Towards the end of his speech, Nelson encourages his players to finish the deal.

The team did just that, stuffing a 2-point conversion try by Winchester in the game’s final minute to preserve a 22-21 victory.
