Rudy:
Coach I just wanted to thank you for letting be a part of this football program this year.
Ara Parseghian:
Rudy, I never I thought I'd be saying this but it's been an honor.
Rudy:
But I've come to realize that God made some people out to be football players and that I'm not one of them.
Ara Parseghian:
I wish God would put your heart in some of my players bodies.
Rudy:
[laughs]
Yea, I have this wish to let my father watch one of his sons play football for the Irish and I was wondering if I could possibly dress for one game next season?
Ara Parseghian:
Rudy the NCAA is really strict with this 60 player rule, and in some positions we only have one backup and you know that every year we are competing for the national championship. Is this wish just for your father?
Rudy:
No its for everyone who told me that being a Norte Dame Football player would be impossible. My brothers, the guys I work with at the mill they can't come to practice and see that I am a part of this team.
Ara Parseghian:
[sighs]
OK.
Rudy:
OK?
Ara Parseghian:
You deserve it. You will dress for one game next season.
Rudy:
[can barely hold in his excitement]
Thank You Coach!

First l'd just like to thank you for the opportunity of being part of the team
00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:07.423
Rudy l never thought I'd be saying this
00:00:07.059 --> 00:00:11.051
but it's been a pleasure Now what can I do for you
00:00:12.554 --> 00:00:16.432
Well one of the many things that I've learned this year
00:00:16.599 --> 00:00:20.031
is that no matter how hard I try I'm never gonna get above the prep team
00:00:20.478 --> 00:00:23.981
I've kind of accepted that God made certain people to be football players
00:00:24.149 --> 00:00:25.357
and I'm not one of them
00:00:25.525 --> 00:00:28.694
I wish God would put your heart in some of my players' bodies
00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:31.053
Yeah
00:00:33.007 --> 00:00:37.744
My father loves Notre Dame football more than anything else in the world
00:00:37.912 --> 00:00:39.058
He doesn't believe I'm on the team
00:00:39.747 --> 00:00:42.666
because he can't see me at the sidelines during the games
00:00:43.071 --> 00:00:47.421
Next year my senior year I'd love to be able to give him this gift
00:00:48.339 --> 00:00:52.999
I would really appreciate it if you could let me dress one game next season

Summary: Rudy grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.
