Richmond High School basketball players were originally just undisciplined, self-righteous, and self-righteous. , And since the arrival of Carter’s coach and establishing some new guidelines for the basketball team, the entire team atmosphere has begun to change. Of course, this also contains a lot of youth issues.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented , and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. I
t's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "by Nelson Mandela 1994, Inaugural Speech

" our deepest fear is not because we are not good enough,
our deepest fear is that we clearly know that we have beyond their own imagination Ability!
Therefore, what we fear is that when we become better, we cannot hide in the dark, comfortable corner as usual.
However, shrinking does not help us change our destiny, hide our inner potential, nor It will make the people around you feel more secure.
Each of us is dazzling, just like a newborn baby, full of hope for the world!
This is not just some people, but "everyone"!
When we When we let ourselves shine, we naturally and unknowingly affect all the people around us!
Let them do the same with us. When we are released from fear, we also naturally release everyone.”
Published by President Nelson Mandela 1994 inauguration speech of

the above is the essence of these words can be said that people's blood boil!

Because I used to be an athlete, I understand the impact of a good coach. What the coach gave them was a kind of attitude and a kind of spirit, and this was what they lacked. It is also often a mistake that many athletes may make.

“The losing stops now. Starting today, you will play like winners, act like winners, and most importantly, you will be winners.” (The failure has stopped. From now on, you will play like a winner, behave like a winner, and most importantly, you will be a winner.)
"What gives you the right to taint the game that I love with trash talk and taunting?" (Why on earth is it for you to defile my favorite game with provocative words and swear words?)

"Coach, we won the tournament. We undefeated. I mean, ain't that what you wanted? Winner?" (Coach, we won the game. Invincible. I mean, isn't this what you want? To be a winner?) Is
the "result" of winning or losing really the most important thing? Regarding this point, I believe the end of the film gives a hint.

The fact that the principal only paid attention to what he needed to worry about at first, and had no hope for the future of the students, and that the coaches actually stood in line with the students and thought about the days to come is moving.

At the same time, a good coach must also know how to give a mental call at an appropriate time. When the morale of the athlete is low, any word the coach says can be the key to winning or losing. If even the coach thinks they are losers, the athletes may also It's hard to give yourself affirmation anymore, and during the game, short-term effects will be immediately reflected in the game.

The focus of this film is on the motivational part that the coach brings, so in addition to showing how the coach is different and what kind of characteristics it has, what's interesting is his coaching style, maybe some people will say It seems a bit pretentious, but in special situations, you need to use special methods. As long as you can achieve good results, you should not deny his positive meaning.

Education and sports should not be discussed completely separately. Although sometimes it is difficult for athletes to take care of their studies in order to maintain their physical strength, sports can be helpful in their academic experience, not only for health.

However, for many cruel issues hidden in dark corners and should not be ignored, such as guns, drugs, jail, etc., it is indeed a bit of an understatement.

Timo's own life is a kind of struggle, striving for a bit of his own dignity. Fortunately, destiny leads him to the right However, the actual situation is that many people in an environment similar to his, the unhappy and embarrassed living conditions of the original family, do not necessarily have his chance, and the unmarried child who is pregnant is also the same, and other people Maybe they chose abortion at most, and the two would not go their separate ways, or be little fathers or little mothers, sacrificing their studies and suffering for diaper milk powder.

When Timo (one of the basketball players) handed money to someone who seemed to specialize in underground transactions, the background music was "Locked Up" from the American series "Prison Break", which implies crime and a bit of despair. In addition, when Coach Carter faced the accusations from the crowd, he was alone in the gym, stepping on a basketball under his feet, looking at the best record of the past hanging on the wall. The song is "Let The Drummer Kick" and it is also an American series "CSI: Miami". "The music, singing words and sings of helplessness and loneliness for everything (very nice, if you are interested, you can go to you tube to find the hall). At the end of the film is Faith Evans's "Hope", there is still infinite hope to express this turning point (it is also very good to listen to).

To be honest, if I watched this film a few years ago, I would have felt that this film is simply too good to say, but now I find that there are some parts that must be questioned. The message of this film is that children must go to college to strive for a better chance of survival, and parents and school initially only short-sighted and hoped that the coach would focus on letting their children win.

I agree with the saying that "knowledge is power", and at the same time, I have to ask, "Does college really solve their situation in life?" Such contradictory assumptions exist in the field they entered and what they learned. Not at the same time. If there is no positive substantive purpose for studying at a university, then it is just a passive "diploma".

Coach Carter is actually an unusual example, because few people will sacrifice their jobs for what he really thinks is the "right thing" and stand against most people, especially in an unsafe community. This is not only the firmness of conviction, but also the courage that is too ordinary.

Coach Carter quotes

  • Coach Ken Carter: What's your deepest fear?

    Worm: Why he keep saying that? "What's your deepest fear?" What's that mean?

  • Coach Ken Carter: [to the people in attendance at the board hearing] You really need to consider the message you're sending this boys by ending the lockout. It's the same message that we as a culture send to our professional athletes; and that is that they are above the law. If these boys cannot honor the simple rules of a basketball contract, how long do you think it will be before they're out there breaking the law? I played ball here at Richmond High 30 years ago. It was the same thing then; some of my teammates went to prison, some of them even ended up dead. If you vote to end the lockout, you won't have to terminate me; I'll quit.
