Coach Carter——What is your deepest fear?

Freda 2021-11-19 08:01:27

At first, I didn’t feel anything special. It was as if the nun also felt crazy, like a great teacher who helped a group of lost lambs. I thought it would be a popular routine~ I

didn’t expect that some popular routines were brewing than " The nuns are also crazy." More things, race, social class...

Remember what Coach Carter said, if we say to 15, 16, 17 year olds that they won’t follow the rules if they win, then they will go to jail in the near future. ~

Coach Carter gave up a lot, just to come here to exert change~ To help a group of good young people, go to college, change their destiny, do not need to be like their parents~

Is it so important to win? No~ The future and growth of the child are the most important...

And how many parents are there now, just like the parents in the movie?

The biggest expectation for children is to play well. As long as children don’t play, they are afraid of doing bad things. They think that the brightest time in a child’s life is this time of playing. No one expects them...

There are not many parents like China. Well, they are all looking for a child to become a dragon and a girl to become a phoenix~

But sometimes, have you ever thought about the so-called competition, the so-called gold medal, the so-called specialty, are there some morbidities and deformities? What I blindly pursue is just the so-called victory, while ignoring some more important things...

I am lucky, the environment at home is very relaxed, very democratic~

I am also very lucky, it has always been relatively smooth, and there are not many bumps~

I may even do not know what is deepest fear -

the movie boys, from boys to men in the process, in fact, is the most important -

to borrow a new East slang "from despair to find hope, life will eventually brilliant"

group of lads , I lost the game, but won my life~


Finally, I attached a paragraph of the original text that shocked me most:

"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.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't insecure around you.

We were all meant to shine, as children do.

It'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"

  • 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?
