    3. Hey, Coach. You wanna call it?

      I wasn't too sure on where to put it, but in this scene I felt like I saw Industry versus Inferiority. When the book talks about Erick Erickson in chapter 4 on page 117 it states "children learn that they can win recognition by succeeding at academics, physical, and social tasks". This is where they see the town supporting them. In this point of the movie they've done so much to get to where they are and they see that from all the support that they have gotten which could be considered the recognition from their success from the meets. What's you all's input in this however?

    4. You guys are super-human. What you endure just to be here, to get a shot at this, the kind of privilege that someone like me takes for granted? There's nothing you can't do with that kind of strength, with that kind of heart. You kids have the biggest hearts I've ever seen.

      In Noddings when we read about it, we learned that there is no one way to actually care about someone. Coach really gets to know his runners because of what they've been through together. He could have told them anything to try and push them, but he tells them what he thinks will really push them because he knows them so well. "There's no recipe for caring"

    5. They don't get up at dawn like you and go to work in the fields. Right? They don't go to school all day and then go back to those same fields. That's what you do. And then you come out with me and you run 8 miles, 1 0 miles, and you take on... You take on even more pain. These kids don't do what you do.

      Can this section also be social imagination? I know that social imagination is when you put yourself into someone else's position. In this coach puts himself into their situation "literally" and knows what they've been through. This allowed coach to see what they're capable of doing. If anything I think social imagination is chapter 6 in the Peter Johnston book, Opening Minds.
