one,
If you are an accomplished basketball coach, run a small sports goods store in your hometown, and have a son who is a freshman in a key high school, what would you think of your life? How would you choose the next step in your life?
The vast majority of people will be satisfied with the present days, or even feel that life is so far, so what do you want?
But Ken Carter, who has the above-mentioned favorable conditions, chose to come to Richmond High School to be the coach of the high school basketball team.
The meager income of this job is second, and more importantly, what kind of team does Coach Carter face? Last season, this team was 4 wins and 22 losses, ranking bottom in the state.
The bottom result is because there are a group of bottom players. The guys on this team grew up in slums, so they took it for granted that absenteeism was justified, and even alcohol and drug abuse was commonplace. Wandering is their bounden duty, basketball is their love. Of course, it is the love that does not change all their life habits.
This kind of life is quite common in Richmond High School. Therefore, this school is naturally a bottom school. In the nationwide education rating, it is always at the end. Not to mention the rate of going to college, there are not many students who can successfully graduate from high school.
Coach Carter took over such a team. His original intention to take over this team was very simple. Thirty years ago, he was a student of Richmond High School and a member of the school team. His brilliant record is still hanging in the middle of the wall of the school gymnasium. However, many of his teammates at the time were in prison when they grew up. Yes, this is true of Richmond High School today, and it was the same 30 years ago.
two,
Coach Carter has such a sense of responsibility, he hopes to change the bottom of the team, and also hope that the team members have the opportunity to go to college. Because going to college means a change in life's destiny.
To achieve this goal, Coach Carter is not just a coach, but also an educator. A good coach must be a good educator at the same time.
Regardless of any profession, a good leader must also be a good educator.
The outcome can be imagined. Coach Carter led the team to capture the flag all the way to the interstate finals. Many players have also become excellent college students. It is precisely because of this exciting reality that we need to make it into a movie to praise him.
However, what we care more about is how does Coach Carter do it? In other words, how can one become an excellent educator?
First, a good general must first be a top soldier. A teacher must first make students feel that you are qualified to be his (her) teacher. During Carter's coaching career, he encountered many provocations from his players. What qualifications do you have to direct me to do this and that? If you don't have the hard power to convince people, you can't hold others down.
Even so, Carter will still be questioned. The games are all made by our team members, but they can show the limelight. It is you, the coach, who tortured us with the rules and regulations?
Strength alone is not enough; methods are also needed.
three,
Second, make strong rules and enforce them resolutely. At the beginning of his tenure, Carter had a three chapters with the players. It is stipulated that the training time must be more than five minutes early to the gymnasium, otherwise it will be considered late. The intensity of training must be up to the standard...
Not only that, he also stipulates the academic performance requirements of the team members. He also requires that the team members must sit in the front row of the classroom during class, and they are not allowed to absent from class. He also stipulated that the team members must be commensurate with their husbands, and team members must wear suits and ties when going out in groups...
As a coach, is this too broad? Too trivial?
What Carter thought was, what kind of profession is our basketball? What kind of people are we basketball players? Is basketball player synonymous with poor learning? Is it possible that basketball players can only be on the table?
Carter wanted to prove to the world that the profession of a basketball player is not only dignified, but also noble. For the students on the school basketball team, basketball is not the only part of their frustrated life that they can be proud of; on the contrary, they have a bright future.
Yes, as the classic line in the movie said, ""What we fear most is not that others look down on us. What I fear most is our boundless future. What we really fear is our bright side, not our dark side. Those who follow the trend are in vain for a lifetime. If we fulfil our potential, people around us will naturally follow suit. Let us free ourselves from fear. Our actions can also liberate others."
But if the established rules cannot be implemented, then the rules are a piece of waste paper. Carter developed a very harsh punishment mechanism. Violation once is to do a hundred push-ups and a thousand reentry runs. Coach Carter's punishment is corporal punishment. But as a coach, punishment itself becomes physical training.
Four,
Third, and most importantly, when you encounter resistance, please go down with determination. More often, we clearly know how to go the right way, but we still haven't done that. The reason is that it's too difficult.
When Coach Carter implemented his request in the gym, his resistance was his players. But victory will slowly convince the players of Carter's command in basketball coaching.
When Coach Carter needs to learn about the players' learning, his resistance is the whole school. The teachers don't understand why a basketball coach can still make such and other demands on them. The principal also didn't understand that a basketball player just needs to play well. Why do you need academic performance? Even the principal and teachers think so, and the team members think so. Absenteeism and failing are still the same.
When Coach Carter learned of the weak learning situation of the players and made a severe decision to ban the game, his resistance was the whole society. Dissatisfied students’ parents complained to the school committee, and the angry audience threw stones at Carter’s shop door glass and spit on Carter’s car...
Faced with such pressure, Carter never gave in. In the face of incomprehension, he can present facts and reason. When the glass broke, he replaced it with a new one. When the group could make a rematch decision, he resigned to fight.
He knows that if he doesn't agree with his philosophy, he has no meaning as a coach.
How difficult it is to do one thing! How difficult it is to be an educator!
five,
Education is a skill. Only diamonds can be used in porcelain.
Education is an art, and only with proper methods can we find the right direction.
Education is a kind of courage. It is necessary to open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the sea, and rely on the perseverance of strength to go one step after another.
