Demonstrating Practice 3, Challenge the Process, Coach Boone accepted the extraordinary task of being the first black football coach to integrate the coaching staff at formally all-white T.C. Williams High School. Coach Boone’s arrival and appointment to head coach was not well received and was rebuffed by several staff and team members.

I thought that Sunshine broke that mythical norm to help him gain advantages over the whole team, because he was the one that eventually threw the final touchdown pass to win the state championship making him a very vital key to the team’s success. In the same scene of him entering the game, he told Louis to let the defensive end go. Sunshine then hiked the ball and flipped the defensive player over his shoulder and stared at him. I thought that this was an example of both psychological and psychical intimidation. When Sunshine stared at the player, he gave that vibe that his was put into the game to make them win. The psychical intimidation that occurred was the fact that the opposing teams just saw their good player get taken out in one

While it cannot be found out for sure, Coach Boone can be classified under the trait theory of management, that “Leaders are Born”. The type of leadership he displays cannot be taught, he is able to bring together two different types of groups to act as one, to respect each other and play together.

636 wordsRead More - Ethical Dilemmas In The Movie Remember The Titansanalytical essayThe movie I decided to analyze was Remember the Titans. I examined the dilemmas and ethical choices that were displayed throughout the story. In the early 1970s, two schools in Alexandria Virginia integrate forming T.C. Williams High School. The Caucasian head coach of the Titans is replaced by an African American coach (Denzel Washington) from North Carolina, which causes a fury among white parents and students. Tensions arise quickly among the players and throughout the community when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Coach Boone is a great example of a leader. He knows he faces a tough year of teaching his hated team. But, instead of listening to the hating town or administrators, Boone pushes his team to their limits and forces good relationships between players, regardless of race. His vision for the team involves getting the players concerned in what the team needs to become, and not what it is supposed to be; a waste. Boone is a convincing leader with a brutal, boot camp approach to coaching. He believes in making the players re-build themselves as a team. When Boone says, You will wear a jacket, shirt, and tie. If you don't have one buy one, can't afford one then borrow one from your old man, if you don't have an old man, then find a drunk, trade him for his. It showed that he was a handy Craftsman and wanted done what he wanted done no matter what it took.During training camp, Boone pairs black players with white players and instructs them to learn about each other. This idea is met with a lot of fighting, but black linebacker Julius Campbell and stubborn white All-American Gerry Bertier. It was difficult for the players to cope with the fact they had to play with and compete with ...

Hutch realized that it would not help his team to continue fighting with Darryl and by being mad at his father. He was able to take those difficult relationships and form them into positive outcomes and achieve his goal.

And his father hugged him back” (Lupica 243). This proves to students that if they continue to work hard and focus on a goal, they can achieve it by being a team player on and off the field.

Coached by Don Haskins, Texas Western was the first team in history to win the NCAA championship with an all-black team on the floor (Ott). When Coach Haskins was hired to take over the program, he realized that the team he was inheriting was a losing team and was full of weak players.
