summary
This movie mainly tells an inspirational story of a famous all-star athlete, holder of multiple high school records, and then he became a coach in a crap school in his hometown, and then led the school's team from 4 wins last year. To this year's seventeen-game winning streak.
It's actually not that different from ordinary inspirational movies. Well, it means after he came. Through some coercive means and high-intensity training, the code of conduct makes a group of loose and undisciplined players gradually become responsible, reborn from the inside out, and reach the pinnacle of life.
what Carter did
Compared with the outcome of the game, Carter hopes to train these players so that they can all go to college, because in that community, if black people don't go to college, then their result is likely to be in prison.
One of the main things Carter did was to say that when he first became a coach, he asked every player to sign a contract with them. The contract required them to ensure that their performance reached 2.3 if they wanted to play basketball. At the time, the standard score for basketball was 2.0, but at 2.3 they had a better chance of getting into college. So, when Carter was coaching in Richmond, he didn't just say he wanted to get a job, but he wanted to change the ethos here, which was that they looked at the outcome of the game. more important than a student's college attendance.
At the same time, he has always asked his team members in life to ask himself with an adult attitude, and he will ask them to speak and act like an adult. He asked them to be on time (5 minutes early), he would call them sir, and he also asked them to call him sir. The consequence of all violations of discipline and behavioral standards is that you will be punished yourself, and at the same time, you will involve the entire team to do re-entry running and push-ups ( many of our teachers or coaches will use this plan, which is the plan of sitting together , so that you can increase the number of wrongdoers. The cost of making mistakes will make them feel ashamed, and at the same time, it will increase the cohesion of the whole team)
He required their players to wear suits and ties on game days, which was a respect for the game and a form of etiquette that restrained them.
crisis
The first time, it was the disrespect and distrust of his teammates at the beginning.
His players contradicted him, and the main players pushed the door directly and left. His plan was actually very simple: an iron fist policy, that is, if you want to play basketball, you must abide by my rules, otherwise, you will leave . It binds its players by signing a contract with players and parents.
Then the team members will compromise when they find that they can't be tough with him, and then follow the rules.
The second bigger crisis should be said to be the suspension crisis.
I said before that he signed a contract with his team members, which requires their performance to meet the standard, but since many students here do not take this as a thing, the average performance does not reach the expected 2.3 at all. , so he directly forced the gym to be locked, suspending all training and competitions. He asked the players to go to the library to study, and after everyone achieved their expected goals, they could resume normal training and games.
But his move aroused widespread concern and dissatisfaction in the society, because the community at that time would take the results of the game more important, especially after they had won more than ten consecutive victories, the people of that community In fact, it's all collective expansion, and then you say "I want to stop the game" at this time, in fact, everyone can't accept it.
This directly caused Coach Carter to bear a lot of public opinion pressure, and he even received threats to his life and insults to his actions. In the end, there was even a collective vote of the community that he had to stop his actions, get the athletes back on the field and start the game again.
But fortunately, his players knew that the coach's hard work and knowing that everything was for their own good, they took the initiative to ask for a suspension, and then study in the gym.
ending
In the end, of course, it was a happy ending, everyone achieved the set goals, resumed the game, and then they continued their winning streak and entered the statewide game for the first time, although the final result was still lost, but. It's completely different from the decadence at the beginning of the movie, they are proud even though they are defeated.
In the end, under the guidance of Coach Carter, 5 of his players got full scholarships, and 6 of them went to college. This is probably what Carter is most proud of and proud of.
About Carter
I think Carter's biggest highlight is that he really cares about his players rather than just asking for temporary wins or fame.
He's a man with great ambitions, and he wants to make a difference in the lives of these athletes, and the ethos of his hometown. When I read Zeng Guofan's biography before, it actually means that if Ming wants to achieve a career, the most important thing is to "determine".
Another factor in his success is also very simple, that is, a tough adherence to the rules he has made . No matter what kind of predicament he encountered, he insisted on his principles and did not make any setbacks. Even when the pressure of public opinion was so great, and when the whole people were criticizing him, he still insisted on his original intention, because he knew that as long as he If it is shaken for even a moment, his goal will be impossible to achieve, and he will be defeated.
In fact, sometimes it is really difficult to persevere, especially when encountering difficulties, so the vast majority of us can only be an ordinary person for the rest of our lives. Because giving up is much easier than holding on. And as far as we all have experience in our lives, once we have the idea of giving up, to a large extent, this matter is over, and often we grit our teeth and persevere. Only when we pass the most difficult hurdle can we usher in the real Dawn. As Jack Ma said:
Today is cruel, tomorrow is crueler, but the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but the vast majority of people die tomorrow night.
as far as movies are concerned
As far as the movie goes, though, I think there's a little bit of conflict and frustration that's missing because Richmond's games are all about winning streaks. If there are some setbacks in the middle, for example, during the winning streak, when everyone is very conceited, there is a sudden loss, pouring cold water on everyone, so that everyone wakes up, it may be better . The coaches and players in the middle were all off the field, although everyone had some problems. For example, fighting for merit, insulting opponents, and inflating vanity, but in fact, it ends with one or two sentences. I don’t think there is any real conflict or setback. A bit too "perfect" to be true.
extract
Making decisions and taking the consequences for yourself is part of growing up
Boys grow into men, men have to worry about us
What we fear most is not incompetence, but what we fear most is a promising future. What we really fear is our bright side, not our dark side. There is no point in doing nothing, and being intimidated can't change anything. Only make others uncomfortable. We are destined to impact the world, everyone from small to large. Let us reach our potential so that people can be inspired. Let's get rid of fear so that people can be freed.
(I think it should be because I am afraid that I cannot afford this ability)
