Sir, they can cut the chain of the door, but they can’t make us play. We’ve decided we’re gonna finish what you’re started, sir. Yeah. So leave us be, coach. We’ve got shit to do, sir. 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. You playing small does not serve the world. There was nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir, I just wanna say thank you. You saved my life. Thank you sir. All of you.
I come here quite often, need to hear these words
Lol a day after i watched this movie. My teacher discussed about this poem. The poem was from Nelson Mandela.
When your student wanted some freestylin rhetorical debate
Every time I hear this I want to tear up. It's as true as it can be.
Yeah…
Powerful. Richmond California what do u expect? š
I loved this
One of the best motivational clips ever.
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.
Thereās nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people wonāt 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.
Itās not just in some of us;
Itās in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As weāre liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
What is that supposed to be, some sort of Bible verse?
My favourate movie…..Timo Cruiz
This scene always makes me cry
It was an era! Why don't Hollywood produce such beautiful movies now?
Did Samuel won the Oscar for that movie?
Did anyone notice Timo's lazy eye?
This quote was in the waiting room of my therapist. While i had harder times with my depressions, each week when i went to therapy i saw the paper with this quote on the door. Now a couple years later i saw this movie. I'm not into crying really much but that made me really cry hard.
Such a great film
does anyone know the instrumental music playing 0:13 seconds?? If anyone does please reply to my comment.Have a nice day
Hella corny
Tears never cease to come when watching this.
He looks like nick fury
I literally cry during this speech
I think this quote is bullshit. Why would someone be afraid of their own light? Itās possible that a person doubts themselves but fearing your own greatness is stupid
Liberate an ape from his darkest dreams and we have a world of hell unleashed on the skin of the earth that has lain dead of the cruel beast in man that seeks a thunder bolt of light.
Nature goes on forever for everyone and everything to return as everyone and everything an infinite number of times.
Change an organisms condition of life from peace to war and watch how it changes to survive in its new environment.
Proper film
AMEN TO THAT.
This speech is on ig

This is a great movie.
I love this movie. Especially for the fact of knowing that this was filmed at my high school during my junior year. That gym was originally green and yellow with a jackrabbit painted on the wall. In 2004, they painted it red for the entire school year. I think Samuel L. Jackson is awesome being able to meet him in person. When I did, I thought to myself, āOMG! I got to meet Mace Windu!šā
I can tell it was Sam Jacksons honest reaction.. it makes regret slacking in practice but also grateful i had a basketball tram i also called brothers bonded very closely with.
It gets me. All the time.
wild dog from arrow!!! cant believe he star in a movie with samuel jakson!
This is corny af
Like if you check coach carter scenes at least once a week
Marianne Williamson
Nothing like being in the trenches with someone. That's where you get to know someone
"OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WERE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE !!!" – Timo Cruz
That was the most profound dialog in movie history that I have seen with coming in close second Micheal Clark Duncan in Green Mile scene with Tom Hanks "Do You Want me to set you free
Anyone 2019?
It's rare to see someone like Samuel L. Jackson, the baddest motherfucker on the planet, get that legitimately emotional. You can see the tears welling in his eyes. I've been meaning to see this movie too. Maybe I should get on it.
So cheesy, so heartfelt, so powerful.
I from malaysia and i dont understand hehe
The greatest speech ever included in a movie. I saw this movie in church (the pastor was doing a sermon on your greatest fear) and I had to go out and find the movie. That is a really great lesson for today's generation.
One of the most inspirational movie scenes. ClassicšÆ
Marianne 2020
Wait the person who came up with this quote is running for president? Wtf
Motivation is everything
wheres all the mentions of GOD?
Could this damn scene look anymore rehearsed? At least TRY to make it look believable
I got goose bumps
The soul searching and articulation in this scene is both unbelievable and relatable. This scene and the movie as a whole has been a source of inspiration and motivation for almost 15 years now. Great writing and I hope many see this and are inspired by its wisdom.
Rene from arrow!!
Man i just found out about thus movie bu watching some clips on YouTube. So i watched it last night. I gotta say this movie touched my heart. Iām a coach myself and this movie gave me so much inspiration to succeed with my team but also in life. God bless.
Yessirš«
This is a highly secularized version of the quote, still a good scene but this is the original:
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson
these movie motivates me not just as a basketball lover but as a student too
At least the kids know the importance of a good education. And Carter is right, what you see is a set of parents and system that is pinned for them to fail. Its been the same way for myself as well, whereas people want me to fail, but I worked hard enough to rise above it, as well as those kids did.
āSir i just wanna day thank you … You saved my lifeā šš½
Love those boys…. no actually they are men
They would left out the God part smh
The quote is from Marianne Williamson, not Nelson Mandela.
This scene is "Hollywood"! These 2:28 minutes give me every times goosebumps…….
Before he assemble the Avenger. He assemble a basketball team that no one expected greatness from them.
If only we had teachers like Carter…and onizuka
Potential is sometimes a scary concept to behold.
had to rip chest hair out just to keep from tearing up….
"Allright kids, Ty Crane is going to the NBA and you guys to McDonald's. So we're gonna learn how to make the greatest burgers on Earth!" š
This part got me a little teary eyed
This is corny
anyone still watching this?
there is so much truth to this it makes me cry every time. Don't be afraid to let your light shine.
They left out very significant parts of this poem:
"Our deepestĀ fearĀ is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we areĀ powerfulĀ beyondĀ measure.Ā It is ourĀ light, not ourĀ darknessĀ that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to beĀ brilliant,Ā gorgeous,Ā talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are aĀ childĀ ofĀ God. Your playing small does notĀ serveĀ theĀ world. There is nothingĀ enlightenedĀ about shrinking so that other people will notĀ feelĀ insecure around you.Ā We areĀ allmeant to shine, as children do.

I canāt believe Iām 23 and just saw this movie for the first time about a year ago. But it was very good!
Iām not crying, youāre crying ššššš
āWeāve decided weāre gonna finish what you started, sir.ā – Iām so damn proud and I aināt even their coach
This movie is a master piece
Iām wondering why they got desks mid court like yāall got bleachers for a reason
It's an amazing scene, but I was a little frustrated to learn that certain elements of the original poem had been excised. It's a poem about being what God created you to be, and to make it a less-faith-filled / more humanist statement actually kills the intent of the author and, to me at least, lessens the impact of the words. It will still make me cry, though. š

I just love this scene. Brings me to the realization that everyone has fears. No matter how tough you think you are, everyone is afraid of something or someone.
My favorite part of this movie and that comeback in the end of this movie, classic!!!
So true. So powerful.
Sorry but why like the dude kenyon always be looking at the dude worm for
Why did they take out the parts about God? I mean, i'm not a religious person but why change the quote? It was beautifully written in 1992. Does the mainstream world not like it if somebody's creative work involves God?

RICH-WAH? RICHMOND RICH-WAH?
One of the best character development of all time in any Hollywood movie "Timo Cruz"..
And that kids is what happened ONLY in movies š
GOAT movie
Shut up I'm not crying you are ą² ļ¹ą²
THIS IS WHY young men need a MAN in their life. A MALE father figure to teach them how to be real men. Everyone one of them was foolish immature childish little boys that became men at the end of the movie. A young man needs someone in his life that gives a damn. Coach Carter gave a damn.
What a transformation…
those damn onions man
okay but why was his son there? isn't he already super smart as it is? i mean yeah i get the whole teamwork thing but seriously, he could've tutored the team lmao
Wow
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. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. what amazing words every one need to see film coach carter make you think !
