He's a sensational athlete.
Two days later, at our Miami
conference, a breakthrough.
I have $18 million...
Breakdown? Breakthrough.
- I just wanted an autograph.
- Do you know your name?
I couldn't escape one simple thought:
I hated myself.
No, here's what it was:
I hated my place in the world.
I had so much to say,
no one to listen.
And then it happened.
It was the oddest,
most unexpected thing.
I began writing what they call
a mission statement, not a memo.
A suggestion
for the future of our company.
A night like this doesn't
come along often. I seized it.
What started out as one page
became 25.
Suddenly, I was
my father's son again.
I was remembering
the simple pleasures of this job.
The way a stadium sounds
when my player performs well.
The way we're meant to protect them,
in health and in injury.
With so many clients,
we had forgotten what was important.
I wrote and wrote and wrote.
And I'm not even a writer.
I was remembering my mentor's words,
Dicky Fox, who said:
The key to this business
is personal relationships.
Suddenly, it was all pretty clear.
The answer was fewer clients.
Less money. More attention.
Caring for them,
caring for ourselves.
Just starting our lives really!
I'll be the first to admit,
what I was writing was touchy-feely.
I didn't care.
I've lost the ability to bullshit.
It was the me I'd always
wanted to be.
I took it to a Copymat
and printed up 110 copies.
The cover looked like
Catcher in the Rye.
I entitled it,
The Things We Think and Do Not Say:
The Future of Our Business.
That's how you become great, man.
Hang your balls out there.
Thanks.
- Everybody got one.
- Some animals walk on two feet.
They don't want peace.
Society needs protection
from these warped minds.
Boom!
This is Jerry Maguire.
Did those manuscripts...?
- They've all gone out.
- They did?
No, that's fine.
Thank you.
Finally, somebody said it.
- Good work, Maguire.
- Yeah, yeah!
I was 35.
I'd started my life.
- How long do you give him?
- About a week.
- You're with the sports people?
- Jerry Maguire, SMI.
