Build Your Billion Dollar Brand - Coach Carter

He has inspired millions of people all over the world through his story.

He even has one of the most popular movies of all time made about him...

Someone who has absolutely changed my life in a major way...

Who the heck is it I know you’re wondering?

Well, my brother from another mother... Coach Carter!!!

Who the heck is Coach Carter?

Before we get into it... just know Coach Carter is someone special if Samuel L. Jackson played him in the Coach Carter movie...

The movie also grossed something like $1 Billion in 16+ different languages...

So yes Coach has built himself a Billion Dollar Brand!

However, Coach came from humble beginnings and worked his way to the top...

Coach came from a supportive family, Carter was raised strictly on academics, but found a liking in sports. Carter attended college at San Francisco State, then Contra Costa College, and finally George Fox University, where he played basketball.  As a basketball coach, he maintained that his athletes must take their studies seriously, as good academic performance would give them access to college and other opportunities in life.

This belief was tested when, as a high school basketball coach at Richmond High School, he locked out his undefeated team for not honoring academic and behavioral contracts.  While the community was outraged at first, public opinion eventually changed, and Carter was praised for his determined emphasis on prioritizing good values for his team. His approach also bore results: every one of his players at Richmond, where he coached from 1997 to 2002, graduated.

The story of the 1999 season is the basis for the 2005 film Coach Carter, with Carter played by Samuel L. Jackson.

Carter continues to coach sports teams, except basketball.  He coached the Slamball team Rumble. He led Rumble to their first Slamball Cup victory in 2001/2002.  Carter has said that the greatest moment in his life was when he carried the Olympic Torch for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Carter has a son named Damien and currently resides in San Antonio, Texas.

In the fall of 2005, Carter proposed opening a boarding school called the Coach Carter Impact Academy in the town of Marlin, Texas.  The school opened in 2009. 

Allowing around 65 students to board and study at the school, the academy is open to about 150 students in grades 8-12.  The school is known for placing academic achievement as high as basketball success for Carter's teams.  Striving to build self-discipline, the school offers long academic days lasting from 6 am through 6 pm.  They require the students to complete their own general tasks, such as laundry and cooking meals.  Students also operate a store and barber shop within the grounds of the school.

As you can see, Coach Carter is an absolute hero to so many people!

He is close friends with so many of the biggest celebrities in the world.

I am going to be interviewing Coach and we have some crazy announcements to share with you.  During this interview, I promise you we will absolutely blow your mind!

See you then!

Sincerely,
Jesse Doubek
