Gunnar's speech is a pretty emotional one because he already does a lot of work with his hometown youths in the offseason each year. Ordinarily he is not much good at public speaking and gets very nervous, but since these are kids he already knows and works with a lot, the speech feels less formal than it would if he were going to a strange school. The speech itself isn't anything too fancy, because Gunnar is not really a fancy boy (although he likes to pretend he is), but it is heartfelt. The contents of the speech aren't complicated because he's speaking to a lot of elementary school students, but they mostly concern following your dreams and being your authentic self, which is something Gunnar feels strongly about. He tries to impress upon them the importance of being true to themselves, but also the importance of standing up for others to allow them that same thing. In his opinion, it is very important to educate kids when they're young and impress upon them the importance of being kind to others, but willing to stand up and be strong when others are being bullied or harassed, so he tries to convey a sense of balance - gentleness and kindness with each other, but an unrelenting pursuit of equality and opportunity for everyone they come across.
