Encourage a team ethic

There’s a popular management saying that there’s no ‘I’ in team. Carter ensures his team take this on board by stopping everyone from playing – academic achiever or not. He’s teaching that successful teams win because of team rather than individual performance: you’re only  only as good as your weakest link, and successful teams work for each other.

Coach Carter is about having a vision of change and seeing it through in the face of resistance. Carter’s strength of belief draws people in, winning respect and loyalty.

And unlike many films, there’s no perfect sporting ending. Instead, the victory is off the court, in the way the team has come together and grown – changing both their outlook and their future.
