Coach Carter is a movie based on a true story. It follows Coach Ken Carter, played by Samuel L. Jackson, as he becomes the new coach at his old high school. He learns that his team is rude and disrespectful so he gives each individual a member a contract to sign. Each contract has the agreement that they will attend classes and maintain a 2.3 GPA. Three players refuse to sign and quit the team.
Coach Carter continues on without them. He coaches them and leads them to there first victory shortly after. While coaching them Coach Carter continuously teaches his team respect. He teaches them respect for themselves and for each teammate and other players. This is seen throughout the movie. As the movie continues, Coach Carter learns the the team has been skipping practice and that they're grades are low. To fix this he goes into a lockdown. He forbids his team to play until their grades improve. This angers many school officials and local residents. The school overturns his decision so Coach Carter quits. He then finds out that team is studying in the gym and are unwilling to play. They eventually raise their grades and play again. They make it to the playoffs only to lose but still proud of their achievements.
This is a great movie for any student athlete/sports lover. This movie shows you the value of what hard work does for you and that it does pay off. It also shows the value of education and how it is still important even though you play a sport. it reiterates that throughout the movie. No matter where you come from hard work always pays off. This is a great movie to show that and an all around good movie for any sports fan out there. Not to mention it is one of Samuel L. Jacksons best performances.
