Coach Carter I feel that Coach Carter is a good movie because of the message the movie is trying to deliver to its audience. A coach who takes a job position in a High School where the statistics of High School graduates going to college after High School were very low. Coach Carter intentions on making these young men become responsible and prepare physically and mentally for their futures is his main goal as an educator. As a basketball coach he implements different techniques for his team to not only focus on just the team, but also on their academic performance. The way this educator works in this is film is using positive reinforcement on the students.
Coaches may have different responsibilities they must display to be considered an effective coach; however, it is extremely important that coaches understand their number one responsibility is to be a leader. The quality of leadership is preached religiously by Coach Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) in the classic sports drama Any Given Sunday. Any Given Sunday is the athletic masterpiece director Oliver Stone takes on professional football, a sport whose grace and confidence are a good match for his filmmaking style. Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino), the head coach of the Miami Sharks, won back-to-back championships four years ago. Nevertheless, new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) has the slight interest for the finer points of the game and is concerned only with winning.

Expecting a chastisement for not following the norms, Baker was in complete disbelief when Mr.Fleagle singled out his essay to be read to the entire class. He describes the satisfaction of having his words capture the audience. The author’s last point was that Mr. Fleagle counted amongst the finest teachers in school and that he had opened a door to a career possibility. I have made a comparable discovery of the joy of doing something for myself; however, it was not about my writing but about sports. From a young age, my parents decided that my brother and I should be involved in some kind of sport.
Noel Hosmillo Per. 3- Ms. Hawkins The Great Debaters The “The Great Debaters” is a story about a group of debate team of African American College that became the undefeated after they won the national championships over Harvard because of being taught under a brilliant and ambitious debate coach named Melvin Tolson. The character that I liked in the movie is James Farmer, Jr. At a young age, he already went to college and was also able to become a part of the debate team. At first he was afraid of making a public speech in front of a full audience because he gets nervous from time to time. But when it came to the debate against the Harvard, Farmer proved himself to be quite a motivational speaker when it came to debating about civil disobedience.
The Genre of this movie is Comedy, Sports, and given a MPAA film rating of PG. In the movie Here Comes the Boom, schoolteacher Scott Voss (Kevin James), can barely drag himself into his classroom much less teach anybody anything.

That being said what is an athlete going to do once he or she is done, money does not last forever; especially the way professionals spend their money. One of the coolest things I remember about high school is that we had a teacher that had won two super bowls with the Steelers. This man is a prime example of why you should get your education: he graduated from Clemson and after he had his professional career, he ended up having to get another job. Turning down millions is a hard thing to do, I imagine, but it is the future that an athlete must think about before making his or her decision. In the end it comes down to the decision of the athlete: risk it all for money or have a back up
