This is not "Basketball Coach", so it's not just teaching basketball

Coach Carter is the title and central character of the film. He's not just teaching them, he's teaching the many viewers who watched the film. The first three chapters of the contract, from the academic performance requirements to the competition dress, seem to be strict but actually contain the protection of Coach Cart to them, to protect them from being framed by the outside world's fixed thinking. The expectations of the outside world for this high school and this basketball team have never been for them to graduate successfully and successfully enter the university, but only after these few years.

There are some new rules and regulations, such as calling everyone Mr. and wearing a suit and bow tie before games. As Carter puts it, "act like a champ." So in the end, even though they lost to another team by two points, when they came out in front of the crowd, they were still in suits and bow ties, like champions.

There are a lot of points in the film that gave me goosebumps. When the basketball team members moved their desks to the gym, wasting the opportunity that their family and teachers won for them to open the gym, and unanimously decided to continue to fulfill the coach's contract. ; when Cruz stood up and said "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"; when team members worked closely together on the basketball court to make one goal after another; But when he still received the respect of the team players; when Coach Cart finally said "I am really proud of you" when he showed his pride for the children...

This is a bunch of high school kids with great potential who love basketball and who are flamboyant, but the best thing about them is that they met Cart and were willing to follow his teachings. It was Cart who gave them a better future. He was not just a basketball coach, but a life coach, theirs and mine. I believe that there are infinite possibilities outside of you, just to shine.
