The Glory Road

Glory Road was a great touching movie. It’s so good and powerful that I even considered it one of my favorite movies. It’s a really powerful movie that you can really connect to. It makes you realize about how lucky we are to live in a not segregated world. Glory Road is a movie that shows a lot of values. Amongst all, I found that Glory Road really emphasized Dedication, Teamwork and Goals. Dedication was what allowed the Texas Miners to win a National Championship. If it wouldn’t have had dedication I didn’t think they would even make it to the Final Four. I think that one player really represented a lot of Dedication, Neville Shed. He had a lot of dedication. He and David Lattin were the only ones who stayed when the others went to drink. They did this because they wanted to have a good practice and be sober on the morning. He also showed dedication when he started practicing a lot when coach Haskins told him he didn’t need him anymore. He even wore a face mask to protect his broken nose to still play.
The Texas Miners showed teamwork throughout most of the season. They really had good passing and respect towards each other. They supported each other and played for each other. They really showed they were a team that showed trust and mutual respect for each other. The strongest scene of their teamwork was when the white players allowed the colored players to play the entire Championship Game. You really knew they had strong bonds when they found out how bad Teamwork really allowed them to accomplish their goals.
Glory Road also taught us about having and accomplishing goals in life. The Texas Miners really accomplished a lot of goals as a team. They managed to proof themselves as a strong team, someone who can contend for the title. Not only that they also managed to win the NCAA Championship. And most importantly they managed to change an era in basketball that colored players can play. They also made a huge impact on the civil rights movement. I
