I am putting together a series of motivational talks for a men's group.
What I need in Latin is:
Fight the fight
Keep the faith
Wear a cup
Thanks much!

I presume (or, at least, hope smiley - winkeye) the cup in question is a protective cup, in which case something more along the lines of 'Gere tutamen' might be more appropriate. I can't help thinking though that the Romans did actually have something along the lines of the modern sporting 'cup', so there might be something better... which is probably 'poculum', but there you go smiley - winkeye 'tutamen', by the way, means 'means of protection'.
