Tony Romo and Will Smith Pep It Up for a Dallas High School

The volleyball and football teams at Dallas' Lake Highlands High School got a major surprise at their pep rally on Tuesday -- Will Smith and Tony Romo showed up to give motivational speeches and meet privately with the teams and their cheerleaders.

The volleyball team was gearing up for the state championship while the football team was preparing for districts, and it sounds like both teams got some great inspiration. Smith passed on the advice he was given by Quincy Jones when first starting out in show business. He wanted to be the biggest movie star in the world, and Quincy told him he needed to be fearless -- willing to be hurt and held back -- and relentless, meaning he wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal.

Romo also had personal experience to draw upon, recalling how he had to overcome people telling him he couldn't make it as a free agent in football. He took it upon himself to improve the areas of his game that were lacking, and he doesn't limit that attitude to sports, saying anyone can make necessary improvements at any time in any aspect of life. He then led the school in a traditional Cowboys chant.

Ashton Kutcher's a coach, and now these guys are leading pep rallies -- is this the start of a Hollywood trend toward supporting high school sports? And if so, do I look too old to play Varsity?
