When family, school and all walks of life did not report any hope to this group of children, even when they themselves did not know what they could do except playing basketball, Carter resolutely chose to be the coach of this group of children. Coach Carter encountered countless troubles throughout the process, but one thing he always insisted on was to stick to the agreement. Even if it loses a few of the best players. Because the coach's confidence in the results and firmness, the commitment of the agreement, is more important than anything else. Although Carter was under a lot of pressure for this: the accusations of senior parents, the incomprehension of school leaders, and the resistance of the children. But Carter still insisted on his own ideas. The leader of a team is like a mandarin duck floating on the water. People usually only see its graceful figure floating on the water, but can't see its feet struggling desperately under the water. Carter chose a person to take on these silently. Later, Carter finally let the children understand the true meaning of life. When the school opened the training hall for the children, the children chose to learn that our biggest fear is not because we are not good enough; our biggest fear is the ability beyond our imagination; we are actually afraid of our own light, not The dark side; a cringing attitude cannot change the world, hiding one's inner potential does not make people around you feel more secure; we should all play to our fullest potential, just like children, not just among us Everyone is the same. When we let ourselves shine, we unconsciously affect the people around us and let them do the same. Not only do we get rid of our inner fears, but our existence is naturally liberated. other people.

Coach Carter quotes

  • Coach Ken Carter: Well let me tell you what I see, I see a system, that is designed for you to fail, now I know that all of you like stats so let me give you some, Richmond high only graduates 50% of it's students, and of those that do graduate only 6% go to college, Which tells me when I walk down these halls and look in your class rooms, maybe only one student is going to go to college, Well damn Coach Carter if I ain't going to college where am I going to go? Well that's a great question and the answer for young African-American men in here is this, probably to prison, in this county 33% of black males between 18-24 get arrested, so look at they guy on your left, now look at the guy on your right, one of you is going to get arrested, growing up here in Richmond you're 80% more likely to go to prison than college, those are the numbers, those are some stats for ya ass, now I want you to go home and look at your life's tonight, look at your parents lives, and ask yourself do I want better, if the answer is yes I'll see you here tomorrow, and I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to get you to college, and to a better life.

  • Principal Garrison: Your intentions are good, Mr. Carter, but your methods are a bit extreme.

    Coach Ken Carter: You painted an extreme picture. No one expects these kids to graduate, no one expects them to go to college.

    Principal Garrison: So you take away basketball, the one area of their lives where they have some success?

    Coach Ken Carter: Yes, ma'am.

    Principal Garrison: And you challenge them academically?

    Coach Ken Carter: Yes, ma'am!

    Principal Garrison: And if they fail?

    Coach Ken Carter: Then WE've failed!

    Principal Garrison: Unfortunately, Mr. Carter, both you and I know that for some of these kids, this basketball season will be the highlight of their lives.

    Coach Ken Carter: Well, I think that's the problem. Don't you?
