It was one of my favourite basketball movies. I liked how Carter teaches his players discipline. I'v learnt how team work can be put together. I liked how Curze relises his mistake and comes back to the team. my favourite part of this movie is the end when the tam never lost their hope. This is the 10th time i’m watching Coach Carter.

But I wasn’t all about basketball it was about discipline and education as well. After watching the movie I learnt a lot of things. Like for example just one basketball team can make a family. In the movie they stuck together and stood by Carter’s contract. They all knew it was the right thing to do. Carter made a big difference to them, he made them understand and make them realize what they are capable of. I also learnt that when one person falls, then everyone else does. Like when Cruz had to do all those pushups and suicides, the other team members helped him out. Carter’s determination was a real big deal to me. It’s amazing what he did for those boys. Look at how he changed their lives, they got to go college, they got to play ball knowing that they’re passing school. What a great feeling that would be. I would love to play ball for carter. I liked this movie a lot. This wasn’t the first time I watched it so yeah. This movie made me get all teary in some of the scenes. It’s a good way to show people out there that they can make a change. They can do something good with their life if they really want to, but they must be committed. I think that’s something I need to do, stick to one thing. I tend to lack that in myself, and I would like to stand by one thing. Every single time I make a decision I always tend to take it back. And I hate it because sometimes it’s too late to get it back. If I think about it, I need to stick to one choice. Changing my choices only puts me into trouble. Coach carter was the wakeup call for them boys, He made a dramatic change to their lives. I wish I can make a change just like that. But it doesn’t seem like I can since I don’t stick to one decision. Coach Carter Reflection
The movie coach carter was about a man coaching these groups of boy’s basketball at Richmond High.
But I wasn’t all about basketball it was about discipline and education as well. After watching the movie I learnt a lot of things.

Like for example just one basketball team can make a family. In the movie they stuck together and stood by Carter’s contract. They all knew it was the right thing to do. Carter made a big difference to them, he made them understand and make them realize what they are capable of.

I also learnt that when one person falls, then everyone else does. Like when Cruz had to do all those pushups and suicides, the other team members helped him out.

Carter’s determination was a real big deal to me. It’s amazing what he did for those boys. Look at how he changed their lives, they got to go college, they got to play ball knowing that they’re passing school. What a great feeling that would be. I would love to play ball for carter.

Ken Carter may have only been there basketball coach, but he pushed the boys and made them achieve what they really wanted. Not only in the games they played but in the classroom as well. These boys came from harsh neighbourhoods and weren’t expected to finish school let alone go on to college, and for a few of the boys, Ken Carter becoming there coach made going to college an possible for them. The boys won games, they were banded from playing games and they lost the most important game, but to them this wasn’t so disappointing. This movie is inspiring in the way that, with a little determination and a bit of a push from someone that cares you can achieve the things you want.

It was a true story too. So, if one man can do this – turn a bunch of teenage boys lives around, then we should do this more often. This is something any person can do. I would love to turn someone’s life around let alone a bunch of kids that live of the street. And it seems crazy, but I could even do it too. This movie made me realize it. Anyone can help anyone. The impossible is nothing - this movie made me realize that this quote is true. These kids had nothing. They weren’t discipline, they didn’t go to school, and they were always out on the streets, dealing drugs, getting into fights. It’s funny how the one thing that they want in their life can change their future. During the movie Coach Carter said that someone from the team would end up in prison. But no one did. They all went on to college, by scholarship. They got there, themselves. Yeah, I guess it would’ve been hard doing all those suicides and pushups. But they did it and look where it got them.

I really liked it, it was a touching movie. The thing that made it even better was that it was a true story. After all the rough times Chris Gardener went through he became a billionaire at the end. It was amazing how he actually lived through that time where he had no money, no car, and no home. He was pretty much homeless, and yet he still found a place to live, a job, and put food on the plate. Last of all he looked after his son with so much love. Chris Gardener is a role model that people should look up to. He really is a hero. This movie just shows that if you are in a situation like that, it really isn’t impossible to be happy at the end. All you have to is work hard, be wise, be confident, know what you’re doing and last of all believe in yourself. If I was in a situation like that, I honestly would’ve given up from like the start. But after watching the movie it made me think that if something goes wrong in life, you have to try your best to attack it. You have to try your best to turn it into good not worse. Life can be unfair, maybe it is. But you can’t really plan your life, things happen and something’s you can prevent things from happening. This movie really was inspirational and people should take it on board during their life time, because anything can happen in life, anything. I’m glad my life isn’t that hard, I really am. I’m really lucky that I have a home, and that I have a bed to sleep on every night, and last of all food. Without these things, we struggle. And when we struggle it leads to other things. Those other things are really not where we want to end. So we have to make of what we got of life. By Tina Phan Pursuit of happiness

I thought the film was well inspiring and how he gets the team to sign a contract with rules they must follow which is good in a way but the students don’t agree at the beginning but in the end they come around and start to do their work in class and actually coming to class but all in all I liked the movie even though it was kind of corny near the end but it was still a really good movie Coach carter

Cruz and some other people left the team because they couldn't cope with the new rules. The team each a had a a contract stating that that had to have a specific grade point to play basketball which none of the plyers had. When cruz decided to play again he had to do 1000 suicides and i think 5000 push ups to rejoin the team which he did with help of his team mates which means that they help each other and that there respect for each other is huge and the commitent and sacrifice cruz makes was probably the insparation in the movie and yer the movie was good and i enjoyed it :D laters miss The movie Coach Carter was an insparational movie its based on a true story about a former player at richmond high who comes back as a coach of the basketball team and the team is undeciplined, rude and cocky.

I feel that the movie is not that inspiring to me, because I don’t really care about what people do or what they become when their older in life. Because some things you have to accept because its how life go, and some people you can’t change because it’s too late. That’s pretty much I can write in this reflection of this film <:/ I think this film Coach Carter, was not that bad, because it was pretty okay and its also, teaching some of those to not become a failure, and take drugs plus not be a drop out.
