As a Barnard mom in the graduation audience during this address, I felt enormous gratitude to Abby for giving this rousing and important speech to our daughters! Proud to have my grad be part of Wombach's 2018 wolf pack!
💐
"If you're not a leader from the bench, don't call yourself a leader on the field. You're either a leader everywhere or nowhere" - A new quote to add to my collection on inspirations which include Pat Riley, Lao Tzu. Thank you!!
I can't possibly like this enough. I've read it, I've watched it, and I still can't get through it without crying. On behalf of women -- and humanity -- everywhere, thank you, Abby. This is one of the most inspiring, motivating, and amazing speeches I've ever heard. BRAVA.
I've heard it many times. Yet I come back when I feel down. This speech is so powerful that it never wears down it's spirit. Love for Wambach.❤️
I've never heard a more powerful, important speech. Every woman should hear this. Thank you, Abby Wambach, for your strength, courage, commitment and leadership. But most of all, thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I am so happy my daughter recommended this video! I made my day. Abby was wonderful! I too felt like cheering ....wish she had been my sports coach in high school..in 1957 !
have always admired you. I just spent a two-and-a-half week stent in the hospital with a brain infection. Had two brain surgeries in a biopsy. Now I'm walking around with with wonky eyes still being able to see in color but what is most important is your speech. I played it over and over in the hospital. To hear you my hero speak of equality for all gave me something to fight for. I can never thank you for the bottom of my heart the how much this meant to me. I loved it so much I put it on one of my playlist which I do by monthly called there are two wolves. It is now helping a friend of mine and rehab. You Are my superhero I believe in you
MrJupiter65 ❤️❤️❤️
Goosebumps. I already sent this to my daughter and my niece. We are the ones we have been waiting for!! LOVED everything about this speech - so inspiring!!
This - - I'm all about this! It's why I'm writing my book (Females And Finance) and telling the stories of 365 women working in financial services. Women deserve equal everything!
Amazing and Inspirational. "Failure is something to be powered by"! Words to live by. Thanks Abby!!!
I love this message. All of us women are part of this wolf pack. It is our time!
This speech should be mandatory curriculum in junior high throughout the USA! We must uplift our young girls to believe in themselves!
Abby, I just listened to this for the first time. You are incredible and inspiring and beautiful inside and out!
Wow. Goose bumps, tears, and all the feels. Love every single word! Amazing words to remember and live by. #wolfpack
Wonderful lesson. This is the first time I have really understood that maybe why women don’t seem to support other women is because if they take the only seat at the table there might not be a place for us. It’s time we support each other so that the first one who sits down will save the next empty seat for one of the women who supported her. And so the pack grows!
Go wolf pack! Thanks Abby for your inspiration. I’m howling at the moon!
I cried. I’m in awe of this woman, this message. Thank you
great words Abby! Let's spread the seed, the seed of change and empowerment for all!
One of my favorite speeches! I bought Abby's book - such power in few words!!
Best speech I have seen in a long time - such great messages! Inspiring!
Abby is such an inspirational speaker. I come back to this speech time and time again when I am feeling down. Love me some Abby!
Powerful, everyone should watch and listen.
Abby, you are my hero. Always have been and always will be. Your message was fantastic and I will take your wolfpack rules with me wherever I go!
Every father with a daughter should view this together!
Or, rather, every mom should watch it with her daughter(s)!
Or, every parent should watch it with their children - daughters and sons!
true
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We women needed to hear that.
SO GRATEFUL for this right now. This is beautiful.
one of the most inspiring commencement addresses! Required reading. Thank you, Abby.
Literally gives me goosebumps. I have her book as well and it's equally amazing.
Amazingly motivational. I’ve shared this with my daughters!
We are the wolves! Let's take the ball and change the world! Amazing speach...I will be quoting this forever. Thanks Abby.
The wolf murdered the grandmother..and plotted and planned to kill Little Red Riding Hood.. You might want to reconsider finding empowerment in a devious, malicious and murderous character.
This message would be welcome at EVERY commencement!!! Love your message Amy!!
When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. We were always the wolves. Time to unite the pack and change the system
We will never forget you Abby ❤️❤️❤️
Rocking speech. Lead from anywhere. Be the wolves. Ask for the friggin ball, fearlessly forge into the future and share the celebration of being part of the world's salvation x #OhYeahBaby!
Amazing Abby…I desperately needed your voice today! Thank you for sharing this inspiring speech!
She is all around amazing. Such a good speech, thank you, Abby.
Wow this is such an amazing speech. Thank you for everything that you have done for the USWNT Abby. We'll never forget you though!
Thank you , Abby. Thank you, sister
What an incredible speech.
WOW!
EPIC!!!!!!
Beautiful. Meaningful.
LET'S ALL SUPPORT EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN FOR EQUAL WORK
Any woman that can dominate in the NBA or as an NFL quarterback should be paid as much as Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning!
She's just amazing. Love her.
Proud to be a woman. Proud to be a wolf. Damn, woman. That was very, very, very well said.
Wolf pack. Thank you, Abby Wambach!
Great speech, very inspiring!
Great speech Abby! Always love hearing from her, the soccer icon.
Wow, Wolfpack we are needed now more than ever. Thank you, Abby, for this call to rise-always, in every way. #wolfpack
Brilliant!!!!
Love this!
Powerful message.
Love the message.
Amazing!
This was so good!
So powerful. I needed this reminder today. :)
Amazing speech. Thank you, Abby. You truly are an icon!
Speak it woman speak it
Hi, i want to make the translate, i hope you can give the permissions in youtube :)
UGH I love this beautiful human so much. Thank you, Abby.
I know right! Abby is so amazing. I miss watching her on the USWNT so much.
A great speech!!! 🙌🏼
So utterly amazing ❤
Pure wisdom and eloquence, what an inspirational icon!
Epic. 🏆
Love you!
The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Winter is coming.
Paul Wagner Winter is here. 🙂
Very poetic, however I have no idea what you mean by that.
MrTechnophile It’s a Game of Thrones quote. Wolves are a big theme.
@@mrtechnophile3483 G.O.T quote
@BLITZ yes, that's where it is from. What does he/she *mean* by that? Anything specific, or just free association?
GOOD!!
This is beautiful
❤❤❤❤❤
Well done Abby. Wolfpack💪🏼
To the 48 people who pressed the "thumbs down" button....I hope you ARE intimidated by our wolf pack, but I also hope you find your own wolfpack. And I hope that when a woman, or a person of color, or a marginalized person says, "GIVE ME THE EFFING BALL!", you get out of their way.
Id like to punch you in the throat. I’d like to see how empowered you felt after that.
If you wanted to be equal I would be all for you and with you. But what you really want is superiority.
No you don’t, you want to replace the man on his throne.
Men have been on it too long. Women’s turn now.
ugh, God I love her.
Why is there 68 dislikes?
This was BEAUTIFUL. I noticed there are a few men on the stage clapping at the end who look scared out of their wits.
This comment is so hilarious. Thank you for the laugh. Probably because for 25 minutes they were verbally attack just for being born a man lmao.
Your wife's words, beings sound like voice of intuition, voice of God to me. Beginning to love you too
7:29 for my AP Lang girlies
❤
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I'd vote for Abby Wambach for President in 2020, based on this speech alone, first time I've been exposed to her. :D
She's always such a great leader on the USWNT, taking all the younger players under her wing. The player she mentioned, Alex Morgan, literally idolizes Abby as her mentor.
Ugh I miss watching Abby play so much!
Epic. I wish everyone would’ve started howling like wolves.
😍😘
Wow .. what a speech..
彼女は最高！
Unite the pack!
17 thumbs down for this? all frightened men?
Laura Farina haha
People with brain cells. @ Me ;)
Give me the f-ing ball!!
Bakermat - Learn to Lose ft. Alex Clare Is a song about your speech. Who says queers can't change the world. You did! And you made me a better person for doing so

why her
Day 30 of me trying to get famous just by a comment
I heard another women speak on "The pay gap". That related to the roles women choose as in the non dirty, dangerous jobs that recduce there earning capacity. Also how women's sport does not generate the money that men's sport does and this accounts for the pay gap? Interesting perspective from a women....
why don't you talk about the planet that needs to be maintained and cared for and a lot of things that need to be done on None of them I've seen say about this planet instead of talking about it
She earned more money than the mens team and still complained she wasn't being paid fairly. This is do to the choice that was made by her and the team for their contract. They were offered the exact same contract and denied it for the other.
I dig Abby but found this speech to sound like a tie-in to her book. Can't join the pack on this one!
We are the #wolfpack! www.GoodbyeGoodGirl.com.
I wambach, you wambach, he, she, me wambach... (from Patrick Star)
wrong
Why weren't champion athletes of the Special Olympics honored in the ESPYs as Abby was?They too did not have to compete with elite men's athletes in their sports. Abby's excellence is recognized only because she stayed on the very defined path of women's sports. You are a top wolf as long as you compete with only the bitches of the pack. And that, Abby, is why you don't have Kobe and Peyton's bank accounts.
but the gender pay gap doesn't exist...
We need to stop saying "you guys." (Instead we can say "everyone," "you two," "all of you," etc.) Ending sexism starts with us and what what comes out of our mouths. I cringed when Abby said it. More on this topic here:
