“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that scares us most. Playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking yourself so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We were all destined to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. When we free ourselves from our fear, our presence automatically frees others.”- Timo CruzIntroductionThe film Coach Carter is an American drama based on the true story of a basketball coach and his team at Richmond High School.
