his old high where was on the basketball team and held several school records. At the beginning of the season he made the player's sign a contract saying they would keep a 2.3 GPA average, go to every class, and wear a jacket and tie on games days. When the contract was not followed he had to resort to unorthodox methods which the community frowned upon but it shaped those boys into men. Sometimes you have to do the thing you love the least so that you can do the things you love the most. Coach Carter truly believed in these boys and pushed them so that they could see there potential and they did. They won 5 college scholarships and 6 of them went to college. To be an athlete you have to be good in class and on the court, field or ice. The hard truth is, there's a fat chance that some of us will become pro athletes and that's ok because we will have are education to fall on but for those who truly believe it's what they will be doing for the rest of their lives and they don't need school. Well think again, what if you get badly injured or nobody wants you on their team, where are you going to go, most work places like to see college or university degrees unless you plain on working for a fast food industry for the rest of your life. If you like movies about basketball and teamwork this movies is for you. A team is a group of people who will help you finish your suicides and push ups, and flip their clothes inside out and put them of backward just so you don't have to fix your pant after putting them on backwards. It's like a support group their there to pick you up when you fall. Without Coach Carter's help those guys would not have been the team they became. The year before they only won 4 games but with the coach help they managed to be undefeated and go to nationals.

This was such a good movie! I love how such a great man can teach all the ghetto basketball players into great people. He hasn't only taught them how to be amazing basketball players, but he also taught them discipline and that's what I love! Amazing blog, thank you for reminding me what the moral of this movie means.
