A set of inspirational movies that don't fall into the mold.

1. Seeing that the students' grades can't keep up, the coach chooses to stop the game immediately, and rejects the parents' tendency to consolidate their studies while playing. This is a very manly choice. When you were addicted to games as a child, your parents chose to smash the game console in front of you and then tell you that you can't play anymore. Or take flexible measures, and you can play with qualified results, but the results are very different.

2. Some people are born with the conditions to be champions, and some people pay more than others, but only runner-up. This is how life is. Everyone starts from a different place, and everyone has a different test to go through. The test that the champion has to challenge is more temptation, and the test that the dark horse has to face is self-doubt, each with its own difficulties. Losing in the final does not mean failure. The real failure is to lose to yourself, to self-discipline, to responsibility, and to excuses. If you work hard and improve day by day, it will not be ashamed to get any ranking in the end, at least you have won the former you, and you have won the uncrowned king.

Coach Carter quotes

  • 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.

  • Coach Ken Carter: I end up taking a road trip to the suburbs where I find my drunk-ass point guard on top of Daddy's little princess.

    Worm: Actually, I was on the bottom, coach, she was on the top.
