It's the big game. Your team is down. The clock is showing that fleeting moments remain to turn back the enemy and scratch and claw to a win. Nerves are high; energy is down. Fans are getting up and leaving. And the coach calls for a time out and brings the whole team in.
He gives a Rousing Speech, reminding the team of what they've done and how far they've come. The team can see that his whole heart is with the game and with them. He asks them to go out there and get the win — for himself, for another teammate who couldn't make it that far, or for themselves. Inspired, the players turn around and return to the fray with new enthusiasm.
This doesn't always work... but it usually does.

Parodied in an episode The Simpsons where Mr Burns tells the team "There's a little crippled boy in hospital who wants you to win. I know because I crippled him myself to inspire you."
In the episode where Homer was teaching showboating to sports celebrities, he used this to inspire one of his clients. The kid himself appeared to ask the athlete to do it.
At the beginning of "The Boys of Bummer", coach Ned Flanders wears a black armband and asks the little league team to win for Groundskeeper Willie...because he made the armband for him.

Knute Rockne, All American famously portrayed the trope-naming speech, which has since been repeatedly lampshaded and parodied.

In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, when Grimsdottir tells Sam he needs to stop a missile headed for the USS Ronald Reagan, Sam quips "Did you just tell me to win one for the Gipper?" The reference flies right over Grimsdottir's head and Sam laments he is getting old.

The Running Man: After Stalkers Buzzsaw and Dynamo were sent to the game zone, Fireball said, "Let's win one for the Zero!", in reference to Subzero, who was killed by Ben Richards earlier.

Averted in McAuslan, when the Gordon Highlanders soccer team is up against the far more powerful Royal Navy. Sports officer MacNeill pointedly does not lecture them - it wouldn't help.

In Necessary Roughness Coach Wally fakes one of these after Head Coach Gennero is taken to the hospital. "I don't wanna put any undue pressure on you guys, but Coach Gennero's last words were, win or I'll die."
