Sports in the American culture is very significant and its brings all culture from around the world together in a sense. Growing up athletes need guidance and a way to be way more motivated. Sports changes young lives and gives them a vision to be great and to pursue their dreams. Every kid dream is to become a professional athlete but not all athletes make it due to grades and series of injuries they may have suffered or some athletes are just not that good. These often have lack of the opportunity to have a chance to chase their dreams growing up in the inner city with the lack of help to push them. Black American image through media, magazines, social sites. They are seen being flashy, cocky, and always in nice gear with nice cars.
The Documentary Hoop Dreams demonstrates the Black African American struggles of success as teenagers. These young men are goals are to be successful and make it to the NBA. As students in Chicago these young men lack the opportunities chances of making their dreams come true. This Documentary is similar to the movie Coach Carter. They both shows the realism of the struggles in their cultures they have to go through in order to succeed. These Black African Americans are seen to lack discipline and most of the times live in neighborhoods thats low income. The opportunities are seen as being slim with little to none opportunities as upper class children in the good neighborhoods. Sports actually to me is a life changer from most youth African American to do something different. A changer to change these children lives and provide them with better opportunities to be successful and be a better person in life.
