A Great movie on the power of standing for what you believe in.

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2008)

Great movie. The strong position that coach Carter maintains and the stand he was for the team was beautiful. One example is the scene where Timo Cruz was exhausted after having done so many "suicides" and push-ups and he didn't make all of them before that Fri (the due date), and he was quitting when others in the team stepped up for him and did push-ups and suicides. That came out of Carter standing for what he had asked Cruz to do and not stepping off his word because Cruz had done so many.
It also demonstrates the power of creating the listening for someone (The old coach introducing coach Carter to the team mentioning his credentials and achievements).
A few quotes:
"You will have my respect, until you abuse it".
"... Now I cannot teach you the game of basketball until your conditioning allows me to do so."
