2. Miracle. What I like about Miracle is first, how the team bonds through intense workouts and in their time off the ice and second, how the athletes had to learn to trust their coach and his methods and coaching techniques in order to become Olympic Gold Medalists. My favorite quote from Miracle is "The name on the front (of the jersey) is a heck of a lot more important than the name on the back." It just proves that you must always put your team before yourself.
3. Remember the Titans is awesome! I love the way the team overcomes their differences and creates such a tight bond with one another. Team bonding is one of my favorite things about being an athlete, so this movie speaks to me :) I know every line to this movie and I still cry every time i watch it (haha)
4. Coach Carter. Another great movie about overcoming adversity. I love how Coach Carter emphasizes the academic side of being an athlete, because too often, it's only about athletics. It never gets old watching the underdog rise up. What I really love about this movie is that the team doesn't actually win the state title (sorry for the spoiler), but the community still supports the team and they realize how much they've really learned.
5. Hoosiers. This old basketball movie is a classic and was first introduced to me by my parents. I love the legacy in this movie and it inspires me every time I watch it. The part I always think about is when the team makes it to the state championship and they are overwhelmed by the great facilities and huge arena. Their coach makes them measure the height of the rim and the length of the court to prove a basketball court is a basketball court. I think of this every time i step into a big competition...all the equipment is still the same that I've practiced on for years, no matter how big the competition floor feels; nothing is different.
