I am sure most of you have seen this movie, but as a back
story to this scene. The Asst. Coach was
passed over for this job, and basically was promised that if Coach Boone lost
one game, they would fire him and place him as head coach. Of course, it was all based on race. So, the Asst Coach had everything to gain by
keeping his head down and letting his team take an unfair loss.
But that isn’t what happened. True to the actual events, he stopped the
game to make sure that it was called fairly.
He knew the stakes were personally high for himself, but his integrity won
out.
There are several aspects of this video clip that make it
applicable to what we do, in my opinion.
1.
Regardless of circumstance, doing right is doing
right. We don’t have to be perfect, but
we can find a place to dig our heels in and stand up for what we know is
right.
2.
Most situations that matter are much bigger than
ourselves. What we choose to do has a
much greater affect when we focus on others, rather than ourselves.
3.
We give 100% on every play.
4.
Determination not only wins, it can set you
worlds apart. Being determined is having
a tunnel vision and a goal that is relentless.
We can have that for our students, and teach them to have it for
themselves!
You are an amazing team…thank you for all of your determination
and integrity.
Happy Monday!
