Coach Carter comes in and changes the atmosphere of the team, trying to teach life lessons and change the mindsets of his players into student-athletes. He prepares them for the future through a bumpy road to success.


One of my favorite sports coaching movies. The actual coaching is background for the life lessons the coach attempts to teach his players.

For some reason many coaches believe that screaming and yelling abusive comments at their players is a motivating technique. How many believe that? Then why do the vast majority of coaches take this as their personal coaching style. Good story of how Mike Browing coaches without yelling.
