Coach Carter

Coach Carter is an amazing movie about a man named Ken Carter who takes over as the new head coach at his old high school. Its pretty much a cinderella story without a happy ending. Coach Carter becomes the coach in the begining of the season. The previous season the team had won a total of 4 games. By the end of the season as Carter as the coach the team had only one loss and it was due to the lockout that Carter had enforced because the teams grades were slipping. In the end the team makes it to the playoffs but loses in the first game to the #1 ranked team. In the end even though they had lost, the team still had felt like they one. They felt that way because the team not only made improvements in their basketball game, but they had made improvements in their own personal lives as Ken Carter as their coach. The fact that one man can change a team that was at a school in the "Ghetto" with kids that had no respect, and barely any interest in school, makes the movie amazing. Also the fact that it was a true story makes it so much better. Its a very inspirational movie because it shows you that no matter who you are or where your from you can succed and make it. I love this movie because I love basketball and it shows us that with the the right structure and the right motivation you can achieve anything you set out to do. Coach Carter set out to change things around and thats exactly what he did. He made all those kids sign a contract that made them put their schooling  before sports and he achieved his goal of helping those kids win games, help them all graduate, and change their lives for the better. In my opinion I think that Coach Carter is one of the best, if not the best sports movies I have seen.
