Motivational Technique Used
A motivational technique that Coach Carter had utilized was making each player sign a contract. By committing to the contract, it was an indication to ensure the players have been keeping up to their GPA as well as attending all classes, not meeting this will result in player not partaking in the practices or games. Another motivational technique Coach Carter used was asking each player “what is their deepest fear?”. He makes them understand that people are not afraid that they can't do something, they are more afraid that they can do something, for in doing something it means that we will be vulnerable to failure. I f they succeed then it means that have they ability and the responsibility. He puts everyone’s differences aside and makes them realize that together as a team, they’ll experience both success and failure. Carter is teaching that successful teams win because of team rather than individual performance, you are only only as good as your weakest link and successful teams work for each other.
