1. Pay attention to your language.
Psychologists have done a lot of research. The language we use will shape our thinking and affect our situation, such as "I can only do this. "VS "I choose...", can you understand the difference between these two sentences? Professor Carter reinvents respect for himself by having them use words like "sir" instead of "nigger" when he first meets his players.
2. The characteristics of
a leader From Carter, I see the characteristics of a leader: ① formulating a vision; ② sticking to principles; ③ stimulating internal drive. First, Carter gave his players a firm vision: You shouldn't be limited to winning limited basketball games, but you should go to college and live a better life than your parents (most of whom went to prison). Second, Carter is a principled coach. Three chapters at the beginning of training and enforced later, even under enormous pressure, are the principles that have reshaped the team. Finally, by signing a contract, a sense of responsibility and drive is stimulated. When Carter's methods were not understood by the players' parents, and after Carter was forced out of class, he was surprised to find that in the gym, his players organized and learned spontaneously, because they already had a strong internal drive, and this kind of The drive comes from previous visions, principles, and the changes Carter brings to them.
3. "Black Prisoners" and "Women in India"
These two seemingly unrelated titles actually let me see something in common. Let's talk about "Women of India" first. I was inspired by the Indian hit movie "Wrestle, Dad" some time ago. The motivation for Gita (eldest daughter) to win the gold medal is not only from the need for personal success, but from the hope that through this Gold medal inspires 'Women of India' to see the possibilities of life! In the same way, the most classic dialogue in "Coach Carter" is in the gym. One of the players expressed his gratitude to Carter and said: We play hard, study and go to college to change our destiny, in fact, let those who are in the same situation as us. of blacks saw the possibility and motivated them (background: in that era and environment, the vast majority of black high school students could not go to college, and a large proportion of them would go to prison for crimes after high school) , they all found "something bigger than themselves".
