Coaching The Fundamental

Reflection from the film clip

1. What did you enjoy most about the film clip?
2. What key messages did you gain from the clip?
3. Which character’s story speaks to you and why?
4. So what, how does this relate to coaching?

Conditioning is important in any sport, as my high school wrestling coach said, "we may not have the best technique or be the strongest, but we will be in better shape."

“DING DING DING DING DING DING DING…GOOD ANSWER MR. BATTLE.”
Gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣

I like how this movie keeps it real. High school teams scoring in the 50’s

After being coached by someone who’s obsessed with push ups, one of them grew big muscles and became a strippper

0:55 “DING DING DING DING DING! Good answer Carl!” 😂😂

[heavenpiercer]

My coach did something like that during summer practice. He spent 2 months doing sprints jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit-ups 2 hours before we got to practice. Our arms felt like noodles and could barely lift anything. One day, we got in trouble, and he canceled practice the rest of the summer and kept us working on our exercises. He told us, "Yes, this is a punishment, and a cruel one at that. I have all the power while you have none of it, and yes, it will get worse, but when you're done, i promise you, you wont be huffing and puffing while your out there. In fact, you will feel fresh and strong." He was right. We hated it, but when it came time, we did not break a sweat

I played division 1 hockey in new england. I had a semi famous coach. If we played like dogshit, (win or lose), the next practice was jocks knee and elbow pads, helmets. He would turn the rink lights off and just put the scoreboard on. We did suicides for a minimum of an hour. At least we were allowed water, but you puked it out anyway. I havent done cardio since.

He’s to comfortable with these big ass numbers😂

I would start every season with coaching just two things. How to get into incredible shape and what it means to have a team spirit. How to be together and how to get our bodies ready for the entire season. We want to be a team that's in the best shape and has great chemistry. The best player needs the worst players and the worst players need the best players. Only that way we can all reach our potential. After we are in shape and have that strong team spirit, then we would continue to work on team plays and individual skills. PS : isnt that what the Heat is ?

Amazing! At 1:26 they have a 4 point lead before the game even starts. Talk about home court advantage 😂

The title is quite befitting, discipline is one of the fundamentals.

Inability to show up on time is a predictor of the lack of character to follow through and play as a team player.

Without the subtitles....I would never have got the just of this movie

In my formative years; I was on a wrestling team; bunch of kids showed up to be on the wrestling team. I was a terrible wrestler. The practices were 3 hours. We started with 65-75 kids. We finished with 30 or less.

I wrestled one match that year; missed the team picture.

4:11 I LOVE THIS SEQUENCE I mean it's so nice Damien was respected by everybody since he helped the guys with the comeback by scoring his first basket in his debut with the Richmond Oilers under his father Coach Carter which is what made everybody realize they were wrong about Damien for prematurely judging him just cause he is Coach's son I mean especially after the final buzzer when the Oilers won 57-56 when Battle went to Damien gave Damien daps and hugged Damien for his incredible playing, Lyle hugging Damien like a brother @ 4:12, Worm praising Damien, although my favorite part of the clip was Lyle hugging Damien like a brother @ 4:12 I mean Lyle NEVER let go of Damien which is why this sequence was my favorite part of this clip

[paulborri]

Why did Coach Carter tell him to do 250 push-ups for being late? He said "If you are late, you will run."

[TomCruz]

I use a lot of Coach Carter methods when I'm coaching because kids are ruthless damn. I make it hell for them so many 13 hell pushups, sprints, mountain climbers, wall sits, planks, and mind games. I keep forgetting Channing Tatum was in this movie and played the token white kid in the group 😂

[jacobhill]

The white guy was there for comic relief😂

Are they in college or high school cause they all look 30
