COACH CARTER

Answer the following questions.

1. In the locker room after the St. Francis game, did the players of Richmond demonstrate responsibility? Why or why not? * NO, the fact that time they don’t know how to discipline themselves. They are trying to blame one another in there loss, telling each ones mistake and fighting one another. They do not know how to calm themselves and think how to make a good match next time. 2. What do you think motivates coach carter to take the low paying coaching job? * He took the low paying coaching job because he wants to bring change into the poor neighborhood of Richmond but more importantly the student athletes on their basketball team. He wants to make each member of the team not good only in basketball but also in academics. In other words he wants to make the life of those students not only rotate on the circle of basketball but also in academics for a better future. 3. Do you think the contract is fair? What does your opinion say about your values? * Yes, as a student like me we need to compile or to submit requirements for us to pass and graduate. Education means we learn academically we are educated not only to play sports but to learn things that we need for us to get a good job. So Coach Carter’s contract is fair and that’s the right thing to be given to the students to learn, and be responsible. 4. How does coach carter’s son Damien demonstrate perseverance in achieving his goals? * Being in a high standard and high performance school is an advantage for you to achieve you goal much easier. Damien the son of Coach Carter studied in St. Francis a high performing school.

    Anything more than this was asking for trouble. When he questions this, he is told that black players do not respond well under pressure and that they are not calm enough, or intelligent enough to play without white direction. This is a perfect example of racial stacking. Whites were the players that were expected to respond under pressure and play the positions that demanded thinking. However, let it be noted that if the team is losing, more African American players are called in and this was accepted because they were expected to pull the team out of a deficit. This is very contradictory because basically what was being said was that African American players could not handle pressure but if you are losing you should play more, and that it was unfair to use more than a certain…

    Spending three hours a day, seven days a week together for three years straight results in a very close relationship between a coach and its’ players. This relationship, whether it be good or bad, can impact a team immensely. I have experienced a great relationship with my coach and team. Betsy Boetger, also known as B.R., is the West High girls’ basketball coach who I have shared this relationship with. B.R. is a superior coach because she genuinely cares for her players, is very organized, and constantly pushes us to do our best.…

    College Recruiting Reforms

    The main thing coaches today look for is who can perform the best and get that national championship for me. They do it because the risk of passing on a potentially elite player with character or academic issues is far greater than the risk of taking him. They do it because, despite whatever lip service their bosses give to indicate otherwise, their jobs depend almost entirely on wins and losses. They do it because they feel they have to. For example, Urban Meyer, who during his last several years as Florida coach had, to give just three examples, a player commit fraud by using the credit card of a deceased woman; a player send a threatening "time to die" text message to an ex-girlfriend; and a player get stopped for a DUI the week of the SEC Championship Game. But Meyer won two BCS championships, was treated like a king by his employer and left on his own accord after last season. These examples show how college recruiting has become more about talent than actual good character, academic standards, and values (Mandel,…

    “Paying athletes would force many schools to make tough choices and field fewer athletic teams.” (Williams 23) Williams goes on to argue that robbing other potential college athletes of the learning experience in college sports is not the way to go. “The NCAA is committed to fairness and helping all student athletes achieve their dreams.” (Williams 23) Furthermore, he even recognizes the NCAA has work to do, and that there is no simple answer to this problem.…

    That man is so passionate towards his job, and without him we wouldn’t be where we are today. He literally does everything, whether it’s giving pre-game instructions, setting up practice, or watching out for all of us and making sure we are satisfied. It’s no easy job by any means, but he goes above and beyond for us. Quite frankly, he’s the whole reason I’m at this University today. He was the one who returned my emails, came to my games, and showed that he wouldn’t only care about my playing ability, but also about my well-being. Once I saw those qualities in him I knew this place would be a good fit. Now you would never see our head coach going to such lengths for us. He would rather continue to do nothing and rack up the accolades that don’t belong to him. Everyone on the team see’s this, and they’ve all agreed that if our assistant coach was in charge their decisions to transfer would have been altered.…

    Interview essay

    I sat down to interview my high school basketball coach over the break to see what it took and how long it took for him to get where he is today in the coaching world. It took him 5 years to get his bachelor degree in sports management from Oklahoma State University. Coach Thomlinson has been coaching for 8 years and teaching for 6, the first two year he started off coaching was an assistant coaching job at Oklahoma Christian University then moved to Luther High School for 4 years and finally moved to Bethel High School where he became my head coach. He is a basketball coach and teaches health wellness. A typical work day for him are the hours 730a.m to around 4p.m out of season and in season the hours consist of about 730a.m to around 10p.m, the in season works consists of practice, planning practice, teaching, game film, game film on opponents, strategizing, and of course coaching the actual games. Out of season work just consists of teaching, practice, and finding out on want we need to work on to get better. Out of season he has the whole evening off with the family and then most of the summer with the family other than that little bit of time that is taken up by summer basketball camps but when basketball season starts “my team becomes my family” Coach Thomlinson said. The dream job for me is of course Duke University he said jokingly, But in all seriousness the dream coaching job for me would just to have a great group of kids that are coachable and of course a winning record every ear wouldn’t hurt. The highest dollar check I could get now in high school basketball would just depend on what school I went to and what their budget is, but more than likely a coaching job in Texas for high school would pay more than a high school coaching job in Oklahoma. The pros of teaching and coaching are that you can make sure that your players are being more respectful in class, keeping up in their classes, and…
