CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The team recommits to improving their grades while Timo (Rick Gonzalez) eloquently expresses his thanks to Coach Carter (Samuel L. Jackson).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there's more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him -- the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond cagers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more -- to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter's guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter's plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter's belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter's players.

If you study to be a teacher its cuz you love kids and u care about there future. Just like a doctor there here to save lives as well. I ones told my teacher he saved my life cuz i was caught up in the streets. He bursts into tears that was my 7th grade teacher and he went to my graduation. Ones i got my bachelors he had already passed away but if it wasent for him i would be locked up or dead. So amen to all the teachers thats actually change there student's life i love all you teachers who are making a difference in kids lifes. I was a drug dealer until 8th grade i got accepted to early college for 9th grade and idk what to do but he guided this kid and told me to leave my friends behind there not always gonna there for you. I could have been shot or in jail but thanks to that teacher im a Attorney for big federal cases in texas 🙏 rip mr Saenz you will always be a father to me.

[@pointofsidtetris8066]

This speech is very powerful. I’m 29 years old and was re-watching this movie on Netflix. This message resonates with me deeply and I did not grasp/understand it in my teenage years when I saw this movie. For many years I have played down my personality, charm, goals, intellect for acceptance. I’ve reached points in my professional life where lack of development in my personal life has held me back. The joy and shine we all carry derives from happiness; how you make other people feel around you. Finding peace and letting go of the hate we learned in the hood is not an easy task. In my earlier 20s I could argue that ‘hate’ is what fueled me to keep developing myself. Loving oneself and becoming the best version of yourself is a task more easily said than done. I yearn to be happy and the best version of myself.

[@Freethinker_94]

👏

[@billybobthorton2852]

I would say that the joy and shine we all carry derives from us being made in the image of God and that we carry the same spirit that rose Jesus from the dead within us. At some point we all confront evil and malevolence, within ourselves because we are born with sin, but also within our family and community. This life is a spiritual battle, Jesus calls us to be a light on a hill for all to see, giving God the glory for everything, meanwhile satan tries to smother our light and devour us.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us. We ask ourselves Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small Does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; It's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

Some people are really missing the point here due to lack of context. In the movie coach carter repeatedly asks Cruz what his deepest fear is. In the beginning you can wonder why he is asking that. I thought he asked it due to the fact he described Cruz as a frightened and confused young man. By asking the question he wants to maybe reach him, let him face his deepest fear or maybe even get to know him better. The thing was, they had to learn this quote in class too, so it was also a way of knowing they did not do their homework. Coach carter makes it a point that they are students at their core, not basketball players. So when they choose to learn even though the school opened up the gym against the coaches conviction, he shows him right here that he did learn and applies the knowledge on his own personality and the people he has in his environment.

[@RabiaaHQ]

Man there are so many things that makes me have goosebumps: how a show of tough love and support can change the lives of troubled young men, the amount of respect that this Coach gets from his team at the end of the movie. The change in Timo Cruz’s behavior from the most troubled and disrespectful kid to being arguably the one who most respect and admired the coach (excluding Damien, being his son). Carter completely turned their lives around to the better. I would’ve loved to see any parent’s face that wanted Coach Carter out because of the lockout when their kids decided not to play to improve their grades and have better chances for a college opportunity.

You people crediting Nelson Mandela are sadly incorrect. This quote is NOT authored by him. It is a poem/writing titled "Our Deepest Fear" by Marianne Williamson from the book "A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles." While Nelson Mandela did help the quote gain popularity by using it in his inauguration speech, it was not original writing on his part.

“Sir I just want to say thank you.. you saved my life” that hit very close to home. When I was in hs I played football my freshman and sophomore year I wasn’t very good. Getting to my junior year I grew and got bigger. I remember getting told I was going to be on Jv tho being devastated I looked at is as a time for me to prove my ability and make everyone proud. I remember a new coach coming in over the summer and me and him instantly clicking, he was going to be a assistant on jv and my position coach. Going through the season we bonded and got very close where he wasn’t only a football coach but he was a mentor on the team I was subjected to some bullying and hazing and had a lot of issues outside of football where I fell into the slump and I thought About giving up football and taking my life, my coach was there for me everyday and always kept in touch.

“You saved my life” and then Sam’s reaction... gets me every damn time!!!

[@teranhd]

11 years later and we still here ! Who else needed to hear this again ?

[@innerfazeqtproducs1680]

If you study to be a teacher its cuz you love kids and u care about there future. Just like a doctor there here to save lives as well. I ones told my teacher he saved my life cuz i was caught up in the streets. He bursts into tears that was my 7th grade teacher and he went to my graduation. Ones i got my bachelors he had already passed away but if it wasent for him i would be locked up or dead. So amen to all the teachers thats actually change there student's life i love all you teachers who are making a difference in kids lifes. I was a drug dealer until 8th grade i got accepted to early college for 9th grade and idk what to do but he guided this kid and told me to leave my friends behind there not always gonna there for you. I could have been shot or in jail but thanks to that teacher im a Attorney for big federal cases in texas 🙏 rip mr Saenz you will always be a father to me. And he was heavily underpaid for what he did

[@mohammedakhtar7664]

I found this quote in Nelson Mandela Autobiography It taught me the importance of empowering everybody around you to strive for greatness and never undermine your potential. Saved my life

If anyone wants the original qoute: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us. We ask ourselves Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small Does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

[@karakorovulavula5458]

Our presence, automatically liberates others. Example, be kind, show the world what kindness really is and see what ripple effect it does. You may think you're nothing, but everyday is an opportunity to be GREAT. Shine your light fam 💙

[@DarthTrader707]

Such a great and scary quote. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful, beyond measure. Nobody wants to look back at their life and play the "what if," game. Isn't it a scary thought to think that you could have done whatever it is you wanted to do, but never did, for whatever reason...usually because you sell yourself a story that you can't do it? That you were powerful enough, and capable enough, if you only did it? I think that quote nails it. Deep down, it's not a fear of inadequacy that haunts most people. It's that deep down, they think, long after the chance has passed, that maybe they could have done it. Maybe it could have been so different. That's what he's saying, to me.

“We’ve decided we’re going to finish what you started sir” that hits different

Chris Tiger Harris it’s a quote by Marianne Williamson. She’s running for President.

You gotta love how Junior doesn't even look back, he has faith in every word his team mate says, just like in the court... beautiful.

[@jeffreyurrea708]

"sir I just wanna say thank you... you saved my life" tears everytime in that part

[@Un_FaZeD]

8 years and still one of the best speeches

[@incognitonito]

16 years **

[@YvngGoat_]

I never peeped until I rewatched the movie that Coach Carter kept asking him “What’s your deepest fear” and this scene he was answering that question.

[@AM-zh2vu]

I swear it hits me hard, when he says you saved my life.

[@brendangregory6601]

I first watched this movie about 8 years ago and the quote that Cruz said in this movie idk, it move me and something about it has stuck with me ever since. I can truely say that this had a big part in changing my life and working on myself and shining as bright as I can. Cruz it was you who saved my life

[@Prashant-pm7iz]

it's a double entendre bro that's the point of the quote it tells you to face your insecurities and fears head on.

[@MGTrappin]

[@cervgiovanni]

None of y'all caught on with the "thank you sir" by Samuel. They're all liberated, and on equal ground. Respected.

[@jGusss]

what makes this speech so memorable is not what was said but who it was said by

[@GravityK-b]

A line uttered by the same actor who also played Rene Ramirez a vigilante who was part of Team Arrow in The Arrow TV Series.

[@CeltycSparrow]

I watched this movie the other day. And I saw what happened when they played their last game. But honestly....that doesn't MATTER. THIS scene...right there.....is the TRUE win for Coach Ken Carter. For him, this was about MUCH MORE than just a silly basketball game that Coach Carter was trying to teach these young men. It was MORE than just playing a game or honoring a contract. He wanted these boys to become GOOD MEN. Men who had the confidence and belief in themselves to get a good education and go to a good college college....not just stumble through high school, half-asleep with barely passing grades. He didn't want them to drop out of high school and wind up in jail or dead like his classmates did. He wanted them to be Men who treated both themselves AND their teammates and families and friends with respect. Men who had integrity and honor, both in basketball AND in life. And even though they LOST the last game, I think he taught them exactly that. And in doing so, he truly won. THAT'S what they proved to him in this scene. I'm proud of them. And I'm sure, for Coach Carter, this moment was worth more than 1000 points on the basketball court.

[@sistamaria15]

"It is our light not darkness that most frightens us" continue being a light in these dark times....I love how we can watch these classical movies and be reminded of such truth!

[@danielskinner4097]

This Movie was shot at my High School and another private school for the gym scenes, and this quote gets me every time Cruz says it

[@asrielbeaeseller4451]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frighten us. Your playing small does not serve the world. The way he inspires all his players to take control of their lives and make a positive influence in their community is truly a feat we must all look up to.

[@devonarcher9076]

“We’ve decided we’re gonna finish what you started, sir.” - I’m so damn proud and I ain’t even their coach

I love the reaction from coach when he is told he saved the young man's life, seems like a very genuine reaction
