Eric Thomas | Taking Control (Eric Thomas Motivation) 

He recognized the lack of engagement and STILL gave 120.

“If something happens to you, you’re gonna be replaced” damn that hit hard

Remember he is not just speaking to the players in the room, he is speaking to us too. Are we giving 120%? I know I'm not and have a lot of work to do. it isn't always easy to admit.

Ego has killed many men !! 85% of this room cant see past their EGO

This man is here to help y'all & nobody wants to answer nor raise there hands, that couldn't be me in that room , I'd talk back to ET in a heartbeat !!!

For anyone reading this, let me just say this, everything takes patience and time. If you want to take control of your life you first have to learn from your mistakes and have faith in yourself. It’s going to take a lot of effort and overcoming obstacles but you will succeed. Keep going, you'll get there.

Most powerful voice in the world and they acting like they talking to a high school coach !!!

This is why we lose. This explains a lot. That room is dead.

This is why the Panthers have a losing record. You won't even participate during his speech.

I'm so pumped right now, I'm ready to grab a helmet and get on that field for them. They don't even care!!!

Follow your heart. Do what you love. Because I was constantly struggling with that. If it's in your heart, go for it. Don't listen to other people. Just dream big. Go for it. There's nothing holding you back. You can have ups and downs, but if you believe in something, keep the faith; keep fighting. And don't let people put you down. If it's going to make you happy, go for it - life is short.

They don’t deserve this they don’t even want to be there

If it was me in that room I be talking and raising my hands in a heartbeat. I know I would be grateful for the opportunity of him speaking to me.

That was a master class in speaking.

I just realized why my favorite team is 5-5. Im wearing a Panthers shirt as I watch this and im shocked how little they cared.

He broke down some of the toughest men in the entire world

ET goes hard with all heart. The people can learn alot from this Man.

There was a very strong awkward energy there. Their lack of participation made me embarrassed looking at it. ET knows who he is so it shows that this did not phase him coming to do what he came to do. 💯💯

Great job E, that's why they suck!!! No dog, no grind, no self-assessment!!!

The people in the comments are more excited about what he’s talking about

Well done good and faithful servant!!!! These boys don’t want it.... keep grinding E!

NFL is a business. Those dudes are scared to admit any weakness in front there boss and peers

Well, if the Panthers don't give the attention that was needed to this awesome speech, i did. Thanks coach!

Only 2 ppl in that room are hungry to win. ET and the camera man.

Tough group the Panthers....but when you are weak, you are strong. Be strong❤️

That team ain’t giving 120% that’s why they’re quiet. Cause everyone is replaceable with the new owner.

These cats pissin me off 😤

I’ve watched so many videos of ET and I never seen a crowd not participate like this!

This message hit me to the core!! I was crying like a baby!!! LOVE YOU ET!!!! You always remind me never forget to give me 120%

I'm ALIVE....My 🖐🖐s are up!!! I receive this message! Making the adjustments. Thanks ET!

Very good, ´´grind´´ = ´´120´´ + consistency = upgrade in life to a new level for life itself. ´´mental toughness´´ ´´we can and we will´´

So much lost potiental. Some people die never living up to their dreams. Let's go get our potiental.

Yes!

My God!!! Thank you every time.

So much energy in there....... ET you’re the best. God bless you brother

Bro this is straight fire 🔥

Some guys take things for granted or just don’t want it. If they got hurt or cut the next day they will hear his words in the back of their minds forever. I wish I was sitting in that room.

Eric was the only winner in the room.

sensing a lot of pride in these men.

These grown ass men can’t even respond to a simple question but I bet they talk all the junk in the locker room and at the house. God bless them and us all. Let’s grow 💯

11:45 most of them were half asleep until ET brought up that DAWG! I love when he does that!

That’s why ET is the BEST IN THE UNIVERSE. He still gave them 120% when they couldn’t even raise their hands and give 50 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Love your energy ET! I think they are too comfortable. We must stay hungry. We continue reaching for more so that we can become more. Life is a slippery slope. If you standstill or become complacent you will begin to slide down. Powerful message ET! Glad you shared it here with us.

You brought it to them at this talk ET! 🙌🙌

I've been watching ET for 7 years(I am 27) and I know because of the motivation of him daily I am not afraid of the risk and I mean,life ,family business or anything have my PASSION for life is back and I just go for it I am a dog and I am killing it in every single aspect of my life now no more excuses I am humble and a beast at the same time i would love to work for him or hear him live and the fact that this NFL players act like a 5th grade class is disappointing ,can't even raise their hand on the number 1 speaker and he's just trying to give them the best ....that's a lost opportunity for the ones that didn't raise their hand

If you don't feel the burn watching this video It's not HITTING Feel that burn That motivation That determination Whatever it is your life is about And your life scene Do YOUR ULTIMATE... 🙏🔥Life is awaiting with all the help you need Believe ❤️

A winning motivational inspirational message That will lead you to being a champion But you have to be real with yourself, wake up and take action We are winner we all are ( Panthers) step up Soak up ET’s conversation and get to business and Win 💯 Let’s GO !! Blessings To All OF You We Hear you ET, we ready 💪🏾💯💪🏾

I can’t wait to find a husband that do and cares about my M.S. like ET does. 🙏🏾

This man is the real deal.

He is giving it to them!!!! Hard! STRAIGHT TALK NO CHASER!

I have been wanting to enroll into the nursing program for years. Now that I'm in the nursing program I am not applying myself how I should. It's time for me to give my 120

Spittin straight fire! These guys already made it they don’t want it anymore! You can feel their horrible vibes in the air! ET you did your thing once again

that audience CANNOT be serious. This man is speaking hardcore FACTS and they just sit there....I know people who who LOVE to be in the same room as ET and just hear him drop these life gems

Yeah they need to wake up fr they sleep but they gone realize what ET talkinh long term 💯

it was so awkward and he still absolutely snapped at the end of this, everything around 14 is one of the best et messages ever

NO!!!They ain't raising their hands because they scared of coach, they ain't raising them because 80% of them arrogant as Hell! It takes humility to accept one's flaws, short comings and to grow! Anyways Dr.Thomas you gave 150%, still got your check and gave us free content at the same time Sir! You inspire us and keep on keeping on but as for 80% of these grown @** man who were in the room with you, they will remember your words a few years from now when they replaced and working at the car wash🙏🙏 Thanks Mr.Thomas and we love and appreciate you!!!😃😃🔥🔥👏👏

They're in that room DEAD!! That's crazy, they're not serious about picking up them jewels. You can't listen to this man's messages and not feel convicted and want to do better, if you truly want to be better.

It's 1:45 am. I need this motivation and energy to wake up and push pass my limits.

I can’t believe the lack of engagement given by these guys. I would kill to be able to talk to ET and have a conversation with the greatest speaker in the world. I study this man and one day I will be greater the you ET! I love how even with the lack of energy they gave you still put out 120%. I’m taking notes man 💯

I’ve been watching your videos for 7 years and I’m still not living 120. It’s time for change!!!

Wow!! Almost complete apathy in the Carolina Panthers room of players. I see why they are not a winning organization.. Great job Eric Thomas!!

Some ppl are stuck in their ways and see themselves as the best and no need for improvement.

Mannnnnnnnn ET I 1000 % agree with you man.

Wow! Look at coach Rivera on the side! ET is the truth if the coach is standing on the side...NOT MISSING A BEAT!

All of us most apply more effort in one self to many of us are accept who we are we must not settle we can will and must take control of what we can change and just do it it's time let's go evaluation baby!

Something tells me that this is the same reaction financial advisers get when they come to talk to players about taxes, investments etc... then players complain about going broke and blame the nfl

Slowly wins over a dead room. What a champ.

This was amazing and sad at the same time.

Ammmmmmaaaaaazzzzzinnnnnnnnggggggggggg.......

Mannnn I wish he come talk to my team like that because of the facts that he don't have to be there, and like he always say he's not doing this for the money at all. Them boys just looking at him like ok whatever smh. Job good hey coach keep that up cause your team need it

I knew he was #1 since I first discovered him in 2014

Detroit people must be one of the best motivation speakers ! ET and some Eminem music is all I need 🎧

I LOVE THIS! Putting this team in their place. Too stuck up to raise your hand? That’s why got record speaks for itself. Love you, E!

Their record explains their energy... go speak to the 49ers please

ET my #1 motivational speaker since Jan 2011

Waiting on my truck to get loaded I had to and I wanted to put on ET....LET'S GO

Thank you ET for giving your all regardless of the response. Much love to you

Truth is there is always space for improvement.

Let me see ET in San Diego! #1 Motivational Speaker for a reason

I needed this energy 🥰🥰💪💪🐐

I’m a 32 year old licensed electrician the company I work for can’t replace me. I’m the only other licensed guy besides the license holder and he in his 50s getting ready to retire.

What a dead ass room. Much love, E.

When I say I felt this in the depth of my bones. Cut down to the white meat.

ET need to go to a winning team and Give that speech

I know what FAFSA is, used it as a young mother, and still will use it. And there's nothing wrong with me. I cannot be replaced. I am building from the bottom and I'm still valuable. Rich. Natural. Resources- are available to us all. All who ask, and all who listen.

Dawg!!! Cmon ET!!!!!

Always leading by example. Great message

Damn! I want to meet this legend!!!

He is good at what he does!!! He is passionate and he is not at all motivated by their lack of enthusiasm. We can all learn something, we cannot be moved by the looks upon their faces.

He was spitting so much truth that I think they were in shock. He was telling the truth.

Tell it boyyyyy. Say it Amen.

preaching to the choir here bro ✊✊

This is music to my ears.

With all the negativity you see on the internet today, I was so excited seeing my man got 140 comments so far, NOT ONE DISLIKE! ALL VALUE ERIC THOMAS ❤❤ MUCH LOVE TO YOU, THE TEAM, AND YOUR FAMILY# 1

Shutting my mouth and learning. We don't learn very well with our mouth open. Then share what I have to say once I'm comfortable with MYSELF

Wow, such a powerful message....I feel you E. Thank you for not only inspiring me but sharing your personal challenges with us.

Once again Great Job E.T., he talks to people and let you know he cares

So wonder the Panthers a losing team! They have no energy! They’re not appreciating who’s in front of em..

Bigg hungree say- these fellas big headed..no body knows why they cant b replaced!!

They ain't ready!!!!!
