Hey mister, what are they saying?

I don't know.

Doesn't it bug you?

No, as a matter of fact, this is one of my favorite routes.

This doesn't look good, coach, coach!

Wow, Dad, look at all the people.

Go home!

Stay here, son.

Get out of here!

Ain't going to be a game today, coach.

Yeah! Yeah!

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Look, I'm sorry coach, I'm sorry.

We just can't take a chance on having this game.

I'm sure I don't have to say more.

Get back on the bus!

What happened, Dad?

How come we didn't play the game?

Because sometimes people are just ignorant, son.

I'm sorry, but we won't be able to play the game today.

Is it because we are deaf?

No, because of the color of my skin.

That's not right.

That's stupid.

Go home!

Not a word about this to your mother.

Yes sir.

All right.

Hello young man, is your father home?

Yes sir, come in.

Thank you.

Coach, Mrs. Glenn, pardon the interruption.

No, problem, Mr. Stanley.

I heard what happened at the game today.

What happened today, Charles?

They didn't let us play.

They were yelling.

That's enough.

Charles?

We're going to take care of this at the district.

That's why I came as soon as I heard.

These are strange days, Charles.

I wish I coulddo more.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

So, what happenedtoday?

Well, they were yelling and, we left the school,

but there was a sign that said no coloreds.

Charles, Mike said...

You about finished?

Yes sir.

Can I have dessert?

May I have dessert?

May I have dessert?

Homework first, then I'll bring it in.

Ok.

Charles, really?

Annie, it was fine.

I promise.

Are you sure about this coaching?

You can never go wrong when

you are helping others, Annie.

I hope so.

Mom, I really want to play basketball.

I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal.

As long as you make straight A's,

and keep up with your class work,

you can practice and play ball anytime, deal?

I'll do one better, here's the key to the gym.

How's that?

Remember to brush your teeth before you go to bed.

Ok.

These guys have the court.

Move on, little man.

We're gonna be a while.

It's ok, guys.

We can just hang out.

I wanna play ball.

Well, you heard 'em.

They have the court.

We can go somewhere else.

Where?

We can go to the Deaf School.

I have a key.

No, not there.

Why not?

'Cause I said.

We're not going there.

Why? We can play as long as we want.

We're not going there with those freaks.

They're not freaks.

They're just deaf.

Here, Mike. Sorry.

That's ok, you can still come.

I can't, they make me nervous with

all of that noise

and flopping their hands.

They can't help that they're different.

That's how they talk to each other.

Go on.

Go play with the freaks.

Come on, Will.

I can't.

He's my brother.

All right, when you take the shot, keep your

fingers spread apart, follow through.

Dad, Dad.

Tell them your name, son.

My name is Mike.

All right, go for it.

Play ball.

Who is that?

What do you mean, who is that?

It's 2 a.m.

It's your son.

I've been expecting him.

Come in.

I can't sleep.

I had a terrible time shooting at the gym today.

The ball just wasn't going in.

You'll be all right.

Now go back to bed.

I mean, it is a scholarship.

And I don't want to let them down, or you down.

So, I just gotta make sure the ball goes in, you know?

You wanted him to play ball, right?

But it's 2 a.m.!

Let's go.

Oh, for Heaven's sake!

And what lesson have you learned?

Because?

Because, there's a lesson in everything.

Oh man!

I should've listened to Annie and stayed a mathematician.

I wouldn't be walking around here in these pajamas.

Dad, what are you doing here?

I might ask you the same thing.

I told you I was having some trouble.

The ball wasn't going in.

You couldn't work on it at home?

Charles!

What?

I'm just saying, we have a basket at home.

And it's 2 a.m.

Ok, now it's 3 a.m.

Son, whether you're here, there,

or somewhere else, you can make the bucket

with your eyes closed.

What's so funny?

Charles, where's your shoes?

Don't ask.

It's a long story.

What time is your bus?

6 a.m.

Well, let's go get your father cleaned up.

I'll fix some breakfast, then we'll see you off.

Sounds good.

Thanks Mom.

I hope your roommate likes

shooting baskets at 3 a.m.!

Honey, you're still my hero.

And you're still my girl.

You got a few moves.

Reg, you want to tell me who's going to

be joining us today?

You'll see, but let's get back

to where we were.

What I heard you say, but I want to ask you.

did you say that girls could go to the camp?

Yeah, I did say that girls can come to

the camp this year.

Yes, that's right.

You know, naturally in this situation,

we are going to be dealing with problems

we haven't dealt with before.

Yes, there will be new problems,

but it was the girls, Reg, that first

adopted me into the deaf culture.

They taught me how to play basketball.

So, I want to be sure to include girls in this camp.

Yeah, we can do it, we can do it.

Hi.

This is my friend, Mike Glenn.

This is my friend, Emma.

Emma? OK.

Hi Emma, nice to meet you.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I have heard so much about you.

Well, thank you very much.

I wish I could say the same.

I wish I'd heard a little bit more about you, too.

Ah, it's all over town that you said that girls

can come to the camp this year?

That is correct.

I did say that.

I do want girls to come to the camp, yes.

Well, when I heard, I called Emma.

She's the head of the women's group

at First Baptist Church.

I spoke with the pastor, and he said that

we could put the girls up at the church.

Wow, that's gonna be wonderful, but now

we are going to need to get some things,

like some cots for them to sleep on

and some other supplies also.

We have it under control.

Oh you do?

I hope so.

Coach, tell him.

We need a coach for the girls.

Yeah, we will need some coaches also.

Yes, we will

Well, I wanted to talk to you about that.

Wait a minute, you're going to tell me

that you're a coach, too?

No, I played a little in school,

but my cousin played varsity for four years.

She's a wonderful coach and the kids love her.

You think she would really be interested in us?

I called her, she's in.

Wow, well, that would be just fabulous.

Ok, any other surprises?

Now you've done some wonderful things already.

Yeah, not at all, it's my pleasure.

But there's one more thing I want

to share with you all.

I've decided we really need to include

some hearing kids also.

Because some of our deaf campers,

they have hearing brothers and sisters.

And also, some of the women at the shelter.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

Their kids wanna come.

So we need to involve them also.

We have a lot of planning to do.

Well, no more real surprises, just that

we need to make all of this work and as long

as we don't have surprises from you,

I think we can make it happen.

I have some things to do.

Ok, well, lets do it.

Let's get our planning now,

let's do some things.

I'll tell you what...

Hey kiddo!

Hey!

What's up with Joz?

Well, she was supposed to go to the beach

with her dad in California.

Now, I have to work and he's all bugged off, so...

So now I'm going to a basketball camp

for deaf kids!

It'll be fun, I promise.

Come on, let's go.

I'll make it up to you.

Just smile and have fun.

Ok, does everyone remember what I said

about being on your best behavior?

Dad, why do you always say that?

Because I'm a parent and that's what parents do.

Mom would never do that.

Look, she's not here, is she?

What's the matter, coach, don't you trust us?

Look Hunter, it's not a matter of trust.

I just want to make sure every one of you

is thinking before you do anything foolish, ok?

Coach, who you talking to?

I'm talking to all of you, Ham.

Alexi, Ford, you didn't tell me girls were here.

I didn't know.

There hasn't been before.

Oh man, she's fine.

Yes, she is.

Nice!

You act like you've never seen girls before.

What's the big deal?

Ladies!

Ok, ok, that's enough.

What?

Hey Dad, why didn't you tell us?

Because he didn't want you acting like an idiot.

That's right, Hunter.

This is the first time we are having girls at the camp.

Sweet!

Look, remember what I said about

being on your best behavior.

I'm talking to all of you.

All of you.

Especially you three.

Got it?

Come on, Brad, keep up, buddy.

Look girls.

What did I miss?

Ah, nothing, Romeo.

Ok, you girls have a good time.

Oh sure.

You know how I feel about sports in general.

I know, but you are here to support your sister.

Don't come on my account.

I'm not.

Let's go.

I don't want to go!

It's hot!

You know, it might be a little cooler

if you put your hair up.

Yeah, so everyone can look at the freak.

It's gonna be fine.

Oh, sure it will.

That's why you signed up Claire,

so she could babysit the freak.

I'm here as a junior camp counselor.

Whatever!

Aren't you excited?

Kind of.

What do you mean?

I mean, I'm excited because we get out of

the shelter for a while and I love basketball, but...

But what?

The only deaf person I know is Andrea.

It'll be fine.

It'll be good, let's go.

Are you ready to shoot hoops?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Come on, Joz, keep up.

It'll be fun, I promise you.

You love basketball.

Yes, but with my friends, not a bunch of

freaks that I don't know.

I don't even know how to communicate

with deaf people.

They're not freaks, and you'll make new friends.

Besides, basketball is the same whether

you are deaf or not.

If you say so.

And you're Grandparents are deaf.

That's different.

Hi Phil.

Hi.

You check in, and I'll see you later.

Ok.

I think we need to work on our cuts.

Sounds good.

We'll get started now.

Ok.

Ok, hold up!

Hold balls!

Hold the balls!

Ok, now we're gonna get ready to get started.

I want everybody to come in and grab a seat.

We are going to start now.

Hello!

Welcome, everyone, to the 33rd year

of the Mike Glenn Basketball Camp

for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing.

I am Mike Glenn.

I'm happy to have all of you here this week.

You're gonna have the best week of your life.

So enjoy yourselves.

Now, every morning, we're going to start

with some drills.

Then, in the afternoon, we're going to have

three on three teams.

We're going to have competitions

put you on teams, and we are going to have

a tournament with those three on three teams.

And at the end of the week, we're going to pick

the best girls and boys, and we're going to have

an All-Star team and game.

A girls team and a boys team.

So, play hard all week long,

and we are going to evaluate you,

and see how you do.

Now, throughout the week,

we are going to have camp shirts.

And bottles with water for you.

Coach, come on out and show 'em the shirts.

And these are the bottles.

They have water in them, so drink

a lot of water throughout the week.

Thanks, coach.

Now, before we do anything else,

I want to introduce you to some of our coaches.

Some have been with me for many,

many years with this camp.

His name is Coach R-E-G-G-I-E,

his sign name is Reggie.

Coach Reggie.

Ok.

Next, is Coach Phil,

and his sign name is Coach Phil.

Coach, come on out.

This is Coach Phil.

Ok.

Next, is Coach Rick, that's his sign name.

That's Coach Rick.

Hello.

Ok, all have over 20 years of experience

with the camp with us here.

Ok, and now, I'm very excited to announce

we have girls in the camp this year.

And we have some female coaches this year.

Ok, our first coach's name is Emma,

E-M-M-A, her sign name is Emma.

That's Coach Emma, ok?

And her cousin is Coach Robyn,

R-O-B-Y-N.

Her sign name is Robyn.

That's Coach Robyn.

Ok?

All right.

Thank you, coaches.

We appreciate you very much.

Ok.

Now before we pick our teams,

I want to share a short story with you.

We all have goals and dreams and

achievements that we want to make.

Sometimes, we don't reach those goals.

But you know what?

That really doesn't matter.

Something else matters more.

I'm going to tell you a story of two birds

that behaved very differently.

and have very different results.

One is the chicken.

And one is the eagle.

Now you know a chicken you can

find in very common places,

on the farm, in the barnyard.

Chickens are given a limited amount of food.

And they seem very content with that food.

They're very satisfied.

That seems to be enough for the chicken

and they're very common.

But an eagle is very different.

An eagle can only be found in high places,

because an eagle soars up high,

always pushing themselves,

always trying to get better.

And so that is kind of what is confronting

all of you this week at the Mike Glenn Camp.

And so for this week and really beyond,

I want you all to ask yourselves,

are you going to be a chicken,

or are you going to be an eagle?

So I want you all to enjoy your week.

And have a wonderful week.

Ok?

Now, I'm going to get Coach Reggie

to come back out.

I think he has some things he wants

to share with you also.

How many of you have been to this camp before?

Ok, we got one.

How many of you have played on a team before?

Well, let me ask you this, how many of you have

played in a gym class, or maybe just for fun before?

How many?

And, how many of you have never played?

Maybe they just wanted to go to a camp?

Ok, that's all right.

Let's get started now picking our teams.

I'm going to pick four captains, and you come

out here and pick your teams now.

Ford, you come on out here for me.

Liz, you come out.

Alexi, come out.

You, come out.

Let's pick our teams now.

We're going to start here.

Go behind the captain of your team.

Start here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Hold, hold, hold!

What's wrong?

Well, Reggie look, this camp is about integration.

So, it's not about separation.

So, I want, on every team,

I want some blacks, some whites,

some hearing, Some deaf.

Coach, do we have to?

Yes!

That's really hard.

Hard?

Why is that hard?

Because we're different.

Uh-uh, you heard the coach.

Life is hard.

Well, that's right.

So, look, you can learn better sometimes

from people that are different from yourselves.

You're the coach.

So now let me help you pick some teams.

I'll pick some teams.

I'm going to show you what I'm talking about.

Ah, let me get you to come here.

You get on this team right here.

Ok, you come, and you're on this team right here.

Girls! Let's get lights out.

C'mon, let's go

Lights out, you all need to get some rest.

It's been a long day.

Ford, hurry up and get your stuff up.

Yes, coach.

Ford, there's room over here.

Awesome.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hold the balls, hold the balls.

Come here, give me your attention please.

Look, look, the first rule of this camp is,

no showboating.

Look, this is a team sport.

That's right, coach.

We got to see some passing.

Yeah, definitely right, so move the basketball.

You've got to understand the rhythm,

the flow of the game, that's important.

Hey coach, I've got an idea to help you

with that rhythm thing.

Oh OK.

Well coach, why don't you use some of your

drills or exercises now.

Because I really need to go check on my girls.

So, I'm going to come back in about ten minutes.

Can you work on that for me?

Will do, Mike.

All right, all right.

See you shortly.

There you go.

Quick, grab that rebound.

Pass it around.

Hustle!

Grab it!

Grab it, grab it, shoot it.

Ladies, ladies, you've got to pay attention.

Can't be looking at your nails.

Come on, let's go, let's go!

Coach, how's it going over here?

Little rough, coach, probably not as good as the boys.

Well, we've got some issues over there too, so.

But they'll get it.

You all just keep working.

Ok.

Bring it in.

Come on, come on, come on.

Bring it on in, everybody, come on.

Here we go.

Give me that ball.

We're going to work on this passing.

Claire, right there on that line.

Maddie, over here on this line.

Ok?

Let's work on this.

Pass it!

Let's go!

Claire!

I'll catch you later.

Oh come on!

I got this.

What's up?

Maddie, what's the problem?

I suck.

My sister is better at this without even trying.

Claire is just trying to help.

I know!

But she's good.

She does everything perfect!

Is there anything else?

It's just hot in here.

Why don't you put your hair up, honey?

You'll be cooler that way.

Maddie, what's really going on here?

I'm going to take the girls over to the boys gym.

Good idea.

Maddie, if you don't tell me, I can't help you.

I have an implant and everyone thinks I'm a freak.

That's ridiculous.

I don't pretend to know anything about implants.

I don't understand it at all, but what I do know

is that if you live any length of time

on this planet, everyone has something

they're insecure about.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Look, implant or no implant,

you just be the best person that you can be.

Ok?

Specifically in sports,

nobody pays attention to that.

Just play the game the best that you can play the game.

Besides, haven't you met Kelin?

Mm-hmm.

She's got an implant.

Maybe she can help you.

Ok?

All right.

Let's go or coach will get after us.

Ok.

Come on.

We talked about rhythm today.

Who knows what rhythm is?

Who knows rhythm? Anyone?

Who likes, who likes music?

Ahh...

Who likes to dance?

So who can tell me what rhythm is then?

Who can tell him?

It's movement, speed.

Ah, movement and speed.

Beat.

Beat.

It's all of those things.

So, when I want you all to speed that game up,

you can think pepper, spicy hot, but I want fast.

And when we want you to slow it down...

...think slow dance.

When we want to bring the hammer down...

Ok, so now, all of you got rhythm?

Yes, coach, yeah!

Ok, that's fine.

So now I want you all to have some fun.

I want you to enjoy yourselves,

and I want you to dance.

Hey, let's have some fun when the girls get here.

I don't know if that's a good idea.

Dude, it'll be fun!

What did you want to do?

OK, so when the girls come, we'll leave.

And we'll take off with their stuff.

I don't know, man.

That might not be a good idea.

Come on, man, just a little fun, no harm.

Yeah, I agree.

Hey, chill!

Here they come.

Let's do this!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Oh, this is awesome, dude.

Hey, aren't you going to take your processor off?

No, I don't have to.

Really? Why?

I'm wearing a Neptune.

What's that?

It's waterproof.

Ahh.

Ahh, it's cold!

Where's our shoes?

Oh, are you kidding?

They took our shoes.

OK, everybody is here.

OK, are y'all ready to play some ball

and work hard on your game today?

Sure, coach.

Ready, coach.

Ok... why are all you guys wet?

What's that?

We went swimming to cool off.

You went swimming?

You went swimming, ok, all right.

I'll tell you what, we got to go on and go now.

We're going to go on and start playing.

All right, c'mon guys.

Up on the glass.

Yeah!

All right, good.

OK, take that ball high up on the glass now.

Let's go!

That's good, that's what we want.

We're just going to work on some free throws, ok?

You're getting better, feeling good?

Yeah, great, thank you.

Good.

You girls are late.

I know, coach, we went swimming by the old fort...

And the boys took our shoes.

What boys?

It was Alexi and his boys.

All right, I'll take care of that.

Mike wants all the girls and boys together for a bit.

All right, but I need to talk to Mike first.

You'll find him in his office.

All right, five more free throws and then

I'll see you guys over there.

Yes, coach

All right, good.

Let's go.

All right, come on ladies, let's go.

Yes, coach?

This behavior cannot happen.

I agree.

They're gonna have to learn that there

will be consequences to their actions.

Should they not play in the All-Star game?

Well, that might be a little too severe,

missing that All-Star game.

What then?

You know what?

Let me handle that one.

I have some ideas, let me control that.

OK coach.

OK, we're all set.

Set for what?

Nothing, just ready to practice.

OK, next drill, between the legs.

Who knows this one?

Show us.

That's it.

All right, now, everyone got it?

Yeah, not happening.

He's right, that ain't happening.

All right, but practice will.

Up and back, two times and then

lights out in 30 minutes.

Go!

Good morning, everyone.

Are y'all ready for a new day

at the Mike Glenn Camp?

Yeah!

Well, good morning, gentlemen.

Hey coach.

Hey, you are gentlemen, right?

Sure, coach.

Are you sure about that?

Why do you ask?

Why? Because I have something

for every one of you, right here.

Hold right here and you're going

to wear it in your hair.

Here you go, you can wear that.

One for you.

I've got one for you, one for you, one for you,

and yes sir, I have one for you, too.

What's that for, coach?

That is for taking some of the girls'

things when they were swimming.

Oh coach, we were just playing.

You're going to use these for the rest of the day.

At practice?

Yes, at practice.

For the rest of the day.

But coach!

You've got to wear these, you all have got

to learn to do the right things.

So you will use them for the rest of the day.

I'm not wearing this.

Oh, really?

No way, we were just having some fun.

Ok, look here.

Any one of you who refuses to accept this punishment,

you will not be a candidate for the All-Star team.

Ok, coach.

Did y'all hear me?

Yes, coach.

Did you understand me?

Yes, loud and clear.

OK, now you can go on and finish with your breakfast.

Coaches, coaches, how y'all doing?

Hey coach, how's it going?

Coach?

Yes?

Why are they wearing that pink barrette?

That's harsh.

Well, that's not really harsh.

Now if I had taken away their opportunity to play on

the All-Star team, that would have been harsh.

But coach, they were just having some fun.

Yeah, but you know, coaches, it's not really

about what they did, it's more about the

impact that that's going to have on the others.

Yeah, their little prank caused the girls to be late.

It wasn't fair to the girls, the coaches,

or the other players.

That's right.

You know, this camp really has to be about

more than just basketball.

It really has to be about some of life's lessons

for these young boys and girls, you know?

That's right.

Makes sense.

That's a good way to do it.

Ok, let me go and explain that to the boys.

Ok, coach.

Hey boys, I want y'all to know, this is not

all about what you all did.

It's more about the influence that

it has on all the others.

Yes sir, coach.

Coach, I'm not going to wear this.

Well, that's got to be your choice.

But remember, there are always consequences

to your choices and your actions.

But let's hurry up, we need to go back

working on some basketball.

So I'm going to see y'all in the gym

in just a few minutes.

Coach, will you help me with my free throws?

Yeah, that's no problem.

I'll be happy to help you.

Absolutely. All right?

All right, I'm going to see y'all in the gym shortly now.

Ok.

Alexi, get up and start working.

I don't need practice or this camp, Dad!

Look, this camp is going to strengthen your skills.

Why, so I can go to college and

play basketball like you did?

Alexi! Alexi!

It's not like that!

Coach, coach, what seems to be

the problem with him?

Man, I'm sorry, he is always so angry.

Yeah, I understand, coach.

Maybe we need to just understand that

he can be a very good player.

Maybe he just needs a little bit of space.

Give him a little space.

All right, I guess, I guess.

He'll be all right, he'll be all right.

Ok guys, give me a line.

Let's concentrate on our lay-ups.

Let's get back to work here.

That's it.

Now, every time it goes in, you remember

what it feels like going off your fingertips, ok?

Ok, I know I'm not great, but if I could just

get good enough to get a scholarship.

I did, I got a scholarship.

But most importantly, do you like the game?

I love the game, coach, it makes me feel alive.

Well, you know what though, Maddie,

sometimes it's not all about the game or you.

My Dad used to say, give or help others and

whatever you do will come back to you.

Give, and it'll come back to you.

How can I give?

I don't know anything.

I'm not very good.

Why don't you go help the other girls.

Here, take that.

There you go.

Smart man, your father.

Well thanks.

When my Dad used to drag me to these practices

mainly to help him, but in the end,

it helped me so much more than

I ever could have imagined.

That's good.

Hey, can we talk about the girls?

Yeah, let's do.

All right, look, you got Skylar

and Kelin and Joslin.

They're standouts.

Well, you got... what about the others?

Well, it's her first time, Lizzie's little but she's tough.

What about Maddie?

Well, she's a little rough.

Well, let's keep an eye on her, and tell the girls

we're going to have a dance tonight with the boys.

Maybe that'll help with the rhythm.

Well, one can only hope for that.

All right, coach, I'm going to go help the girls.

We'll see you there.

OK, all right.

I'm nervous.

Why?

She never danced before.

It's easy, you just get up there and wiggle.

Hey, I meant to ask you, if you can't hear,

how do you dance?

Some of us hear some, and the others feel the beat.

My grandma says if I keep listening to my music,

I won't be able to hear.

Everyone ready?

Yeah.

Here they come.

Dude, you better apologize or they'll never dance

with us with these pink bows in our hair.

They don't care.

They're women, of course they care.

Oh, what do you know, Romeo?

I know women.

Whatever.

He's right.

We'll see.

Hi, guys.

You wanna dance?

Did someone say something?

Listen, we're really sorry.

We were just playing a joke.

I don't know, what do you think, girls?

Please accept our apology.

Ok, we forgive you.

I guess!

But we're watching you.

Joz, would you care to dance?

I'd love to.

You snooze, you lose.

Weasel.

Maybe I'm nothing but flowers...

And wine to you...

Maybe I'm something you don't understand...

And don't want to...

Something simple like sand...

Maybe you're something like sort of like...

Love could be...

Writhing and thrushing...

Then throbbing and crushing...

But slippery...

Running right through my hands...

Maybe you're something...

Both lucid and dry...

Oh and maybe I'm something...

That can't catch your eye...

Maybe we're nothing, maybe we're nothing...

He'll say as you slowly sip your coffee...

We're nothing, nothing, nothing but sand...

Hey coach.

Alexi and the boys just apologized to the girls.

Oh, they did?

Well, that's what I wanted, you know,

for them to make some kind of an effort.

So that's good.

Alexi, Alexi!

Come here for a second please.

Yeah, coach?

You know what, um, I just wanted to

make sure you guys understood

that there's always consequences for

your actions, but you guys did a good job.

We get it now.

Ok, well I think I can take this off now.

All right, you're a good man.

Tell my Dad.

Oh, ok, all right.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Come on, spill it.

We suck.

What?

Ok, so what's the deal?

Look, we're not the best players,

or the biggest, but we want to get better

if we ever stand a chance in the playoffs.

I know what you mean, I'm the smallest,

so nobody thinks I can play.

But I really can.

I have to work hard but I've always

had to so that's nothing new.

Ok, let's make a promise to always help each other.

Here.

We get more practice time when nobody's around.

How about we try this?

Here, Hunter, you go over there,

and Brad, you go over there.

Someone's here, let's go.

Next time we'll work on our free throws.

Hey, are you ok?

Rick, are you ok?

You can't do this.

You all right?

You have to talk with Mike Glenn.

Ok.

I know, but I don't have anything.

I have, I have, I have nowhere to go.

Ok, let's go to talk to Mike,

but first, let's go back, come on.

I will, but...

Come on.

Dude, you stink.

It's not me!

I think it's coming from the other guys.

Hey, I have an idea, let's...

No, you're last idea got us wearing pink bows.

I have an idea.

I'll catch you guys later.

Oh man, cut me some slack.

Where have you guys been?

Uh, you stink.

Stop, it's not me!

See?

It's not me!

I'm watching you two.

Hello.

Ok, I will talk, I will talk to him.

Where is he?

He got cleaned up and

he just went to the cafeteria.

Ok, I'm going to go over there now,

so I'm going to see you a little bit later.

Ok, see you later.

Hey, what can I do for you?

Where's Mike Glenn?

You just missed him, he went to the cafeteria.

Coach, got you some coffee.

Thanks, I could use it.

Yeah, that's, that's what I heard.

Did you talk to Reggie?

Yes, I did, coach.

Coach, I'll leave as soon as...

Well, well, that may not be necessary.

But Rick, you can't be drinking and showing up

around here like you did.

No, I understand, ah...

But, but I've lost everything.

I've lost my job, I lost my, my home,

and I've lost my family now.

Yeah, well, well, look Rick, I'm going to

let you stay in one of the dorms until

you can kinda sort this thing out a little bit.

All right?

I understand.

Look Rick, you're great with the kids,

and what you were doing with them last night

was truly amazing.

Thank you.

But this can't ever happen again, Rick.

You got my word on it, coach.

Ok, a man is only as good as his word, Rick.

Thank you.

All right.

Good morning, Ford, you're early.

Morning coach, can I talk to you?

Sure, what's on your mind?

Is it possible you have um, an extra pair

of warm-ups or t-shirts?

I may have a few shirts I could give you.

They're not for me, they're for some of

the guys on the team.

Well, which guys is that?

Um, the guys from the shelter.

Coach, they stink, and I think it's only

because they have one pair of clothes.

Well, that's very possible.

See, often, the only clothes they have is

what the shelter gives them.

Coach, I would like to buy some clothes for them.

I have $50.

You know what?

That's very nice of you and I may have a few shirts

I can throw in with that.

No coach, I want to do more.

I'll tell you what, walk with me

and let's talk a little bit more.

Come on, come with me.

Explain to me, what is it exactly you want to do?

Well, we can take up a collection,

you know, see how much we get.

I'll tell you what, you see how much

you can raise by tomorrow,

and whatever you do, I'm going to match it.

Awesome, thanks coach.

Ah, one more question.

Why is this so important to you?

I know what it means, you know, not to have

something, and I want to let people know

that I'm more than just deaf, and that I'm not

dumb and that I can contribute to society.

Understood.

But you better get going now.

Awesome, thanks coach.

All right.

You guys go over here...

One, two, three, Eagles!

Now if you'd just play like that all the time.

Can't you just let it go?

No, I don't want to see you throw this opportunity away.

Dad, it's a game, it's supposed to be fun.

Look, I cannot get into this with you right now.

You've got to think about it.

Good enoughfor you?

I really like this stack offense and we get the ball here...

I have my forwards here, and my center on that side.

Reg, how about opening that door?

Somebody, somebody's there, please.

Coach, here.

We collected $300.

Wow, that's wonderful!

Y'all did a great job.

Now what I want you to do is get with

Coach Emma and Coach Rick.

I want you all to go to the store and buy some clothes

and some other things for the shelter.

But that's a great job.

But, you said you would match it.

I did?

Oh, oh, you know what?

You're right, I did.

So you all still trust me, right?

Yes coach.

Thank you, coach.

Ok, so now I want y'all to go on to the store

and get some nice things for the shelter.

Y'all did a wonderful job.

Thank you.

Thanks, coach.

They did great, that was great.

That was great, coach.

Hey, where you guys going?

We're going shopping, come on.

Dude, where have you been?

We raised $300, we're going shopping.

Come on, let's go.

What are you guys trying to do?

Score brownie points with the coach?

What are you talking about?

Whatever, you guys are so lame.

Come on, let's go.

He has a lousy attitude.

Yeah Ford, Maddie's right, it'll be fun.

Shoot it!

Foul.

No!

What's the foul?

You shoot two.

Ahh!

You all right?

I'm hurt.

Hunter, come here.

Out!

Ah, jeez.

There you go, make the shot!

Yes, whoo!

Dang, she's kicking our butt.

That's ok, it won't hurt.

There you go.

You're just saying that 'cause you like her.

So!

Are you going to play ball or flirt?

Oh yeah!

Shhh!

Seriously?

Man, she blew you away on that rebound.

Aw man, I was busy talking.

I can't believe we just lost to a bunch of girls.

It's ok, we won't hold it against you.

We want to rematch.

After you practice more.

Caught ya!

You scared me.

Come on, let's get started.

What are you doing?

We're practicing.

Why?

Because unlike you, we want to get better.

And play in the All-Star game.

You're kidding me, right?

Stranger things have happened.

Ok, but you're never going to make the team.

If you're not going to help us, then leave.

Look, you have natural ability, but you're sloppy.

And really that's worse than just not having skills.

Look, why is this so important to you?

The same reason it is to you.

We want to make our parents proud.

And feel a sense of accomplishment.

I admire you, but sometimes good

isn't good enough.

I'll see you later.

Woo hoo!

All right, so we're going to have Maddie

and Joz and Kelin be out first, ok?

Then we'll have Skylar and Lizzie

and Andrea will be second.

All right?

And then we have, uh Ford, Ham,

My ankle.

How bad is that?

Now, you're a senior now.

This might be your last chance to make the All-Star team.

So you're going to have to decide on

how bad is it.

I don't know, coach.

Well, I'll tell you what, if you don't try it now,

you'll never make it and you'll never know.

Sorry, coach.

Whatcha got, whatcha got?

And there's coach right there.

Yes!

Coach, that's not fair!

Everything's fair in basketball.

You just need to be ready to play.

OK, all right, subs, subs.

All right, you two, you take Mike, and feed Lizzie,

make some magic.

Two minutes left, let's do it.

Let's do it!

Come on, come on.

Whoo!

Put two on him, an you have to feed Lizzie

under the basket as much as possible.

Time, let's get the next group in.

Come on, boys!

Go!

Hey, I thought your ankle was hurt.

Looks all right to me.

It feels all right?

OK, all right, all right.

We're ready.

You ready for the game?

Let's go, play out and grab your seats.

Let's go.

And our last boy All-Star is...

Aaron.

Congratulations.

No! You guys are losers!

That's crap, no way does Ham deserve that spot!

Look, Mike has his reasons

and he does a lot for you campers.

He didn't practice all week.

Look, we don't always understand what or why.

Whatever.

I worked my butt off.

You can still play in the Division 2 championship.

Forget it.

It's not even worth it.

Should we go after him?

I will.

You boys did a great job playing today, ok?

Thanks, coach.

Let the heat out out, out into the world...

Let the heat out out, out into the world...

Let it out, let out all of your control line...

Keep a tether to the world...

Let yourself grow cold...

Let yourself become undone...

Let yourself become unstrung...

And tell the world a whole new song...

Dude, where've you been?

Just blowing off steam.

You stink, man.

I can't find him.

Oh Phil, it's Ok.

He's back, just did a head count,

he's back in his room now.

Oh God...

I'll deal with him in the morning, ok?

Yeah, and Phil, just found this.

Mike, I'm sorry, I...

He's been so angry ever since his Mom died.

Well Phil, look, let's not jump

to any early conclusions.

This thing will work itself out.

It's been a long day, and uh...

The best thing we can do right now

is just get a good night's sleep.

So why don't you just take it easy,

and get a good night's sleep tonight?

All right, good night.

All right.

Let's welcome him.

Hi, thank you for allowing me to be

a part of your lives today.

I've been presented with an opportunity to speak

to an audience of a different language.

An audience of a different culture

and I choose to take the shot.

You see, in the game of basketball, you can't

make a shot unless you take a shot.

My walk in the game of basketball

did not land me in the NBA.

It did however, allow me the opportunity to

own and operate my very own basketball facility.

The game of basketball, a lot like life, teaches you

how to be a good teammate.

The game of basketball teaches you how to work hard.

The game of basketball teaches discipline.

The game of basketball allows you to dream.

The game of basketball allows you to have fun.

I'm willing to take the last shot.

Come on in.

Hey coach, sorry about yesterday.

Apology accepted.

And there's one more thing...

How'd you know?

Well, look at the blue paint all over your hand.

Sorry, coach.

Well Alexi, you know my rule.

The one about consequences?

That's the one.

Thanks, coach.

All right.

Let's go, come on.

Whoo!

Reggie, how's my girls doing here?

Everyone's drills seem good.

Now everything is good now.

Ok, that's good.

Keep focusing on that offense, we need the points

so keep working on offense, ok?

Good, that's fine.

OK, all right

See you later.

Coach?

Hey, hello boys.

Uh, coach, is Alexi going to get to play?

Well, that depends on if he cleans up

all of that mess in his locker, then maybe yes.

What if we helped him?

Oh, you would do that?

You would help him?

Everyone makes mistakes.

I mean, that's very true.

Coach, we're a team and if someone's in trouble,

shouldn't we help them?

You know, that's a, that's a good way,

that's a good way to live your life.

And it's ok with me.

If you guys want to help him,

then that's going to be fine with me.

Thanks, coach.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

The camp.

Yes?

Why do you do it?

Well coach, I know there's so many people that

throughout my life have helped me

that I never would have had the success

without them.

So I want these kids to know that there's

somebody that cares about them,

somebody that recognizes their worth.

Even can communicate with them.

That's very important.

See, my Dad started the sports program at the Deaf School

many, many years ago.

And for all his years of coaching, he never got paid.

At the end of each year, the Principal would come up to

him and say, Coach Glenn, you did a good job.

And that's all the pay my Dad ever received.

So in many ways this camp is a way for me kinda to,

to honor my Dad for all the work that he did.

Is that why his name's on the shirt?

That's exactly the reason.

You're a good man, Mike Glenn.

Well, thanks very much.

You're very kind.

Coach, I gotta get these practices done

for my All-Star team.

All right?

I'll catch up with you later.

Dude, what were you thinking?

He wasn't thinking.

I was mad!

Just blowing off steam.

Coach said it was ok if we help you.

Yeah, at least you can watch us play.

Thanks.

Guys, get control.

There you go, nice, nice.

Good job.

All right, keep it up, come on, let's go.

Coach Reg, where are all the boys?

They went to help Alexi.

Oh, you're right, I did say that.

So they're helping Alexi now?

Yes.

I'm going to check on the boys now.

Ok, fine.

Nice ladies, nice.

There you go.

You guys need to hurry to the gym

and go on and get some practicing in.

Will do, coach.

Yes sir, coach.

I appreciate it, thanks guys.

Alexi, you need to hurry to the gym

and get some practicing in.

For what, coach?

Look, everybody that doesn't make the All-Star

cut is out practicing for a Division 2

championship game tomorrow morning.

You mean it?

You heard me.

Get out of here.

Thanks, coach.

Alexi, don't let me down.

I won't.

All right, just get me the ball, all right?

If it comes to you guys, be ready, ok?

Are you guys ready?

All right, Eagles on three.

One, two, three, Eagles!

No, no overtime, we don't have time.

We have to practice for the All-Star team.

Hey man, that was a good game.

Thank you.

That was the best Division 2 game so far.

Division 2 ever?

Yeah, it was awesome, it was a wonderful game.

And Alexi, let me tell you something, that's the way

you need to play every game, every time.

Yes!

Yes sir, that was great.

Yes Sir!

Everybody, let's get our hands in here together one time.

On three, say defense.

One, two, three, Defense!

Hey coach, how are you doin'?

Hey, I'm fine, how are you guys doing today?

We're good.

Y'all ready for some basketball today?

Yes.

Yes indeed, all right, you guys help yourselves there.

May I have popcorn?

Here you go.

And could I just have some pretzels and a granola bar?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Hey, Ford, Ford, Ford, Ford.

Did you see that Division 2 game today?

Yeah, it was an awesome game.

You got that kind of game in you?

Oh, for sure, coach.

Hey, you know, I need you to do something for me.

Can you find Alexi, and tell him to

meet me in the locker room?

Yeah, will do, coach.

Hey, one more thing.

I appreciate what you did at the shelter.

That was good.

Thank you very much, coach.

All right, all right, see you later.

Alexi?

Coach wants to see you.

He said, coach wants to see you.

Did he say why?

What did you do this time?

Man, I didn't do anything this time.

Where is he?

He said meet up in the locker room.

Ok.

This can't be good.

What do you think he did this time?

Who knows.

Let's go check it out.

Come on in.

Coach, you wanted to see me?

I did.

Coach, I didn't do it.

You didn't do what?

Do whatever you think I did.

Well, you didn't do it yet.

Do what, coach?

You didn't play in the All-Star game yet.

What?

No, are you serious?

I get to play in the All-Star game?

Alexi, I always knew you had game,

but your attitude was all wrong.

But what I saw from you today

made me rethinkmy team.

Thanks, coach.

I won't... We won't let you down.

All right, Alexi.

Yes, yes!

Now we can bring in some heavy pepper.

Guys, pepper on three.

One, two, three, Pepper!

Let's go, whoo!

Yes!

Let's do Eagles on three.

One, two, three, Eagles!

Ok, that's us, that's us.

Let's go, this way.

Go, you guys, go!

We're just not together.

We're really off.

Just play your game,

don't worry about what they're doing.

Come on guys, you got this.

Coach Glenn's All-Stars are down by 13.

Fired up! Fired up!

You know, it's difficult coming together when

you've not really practiced as a team before.

That's right, the other team has played together before.

Ok, we're not out of this game.

We just need to play a little bit more fast break ball.

And Kelin, if you don't have your shot, I need you to drive

and draw the foul and give me some free throws.

All right?

Ok, coach.

OK, we're gonna win this game now.

Hands in, on three, Pepper.

One, two, three, Pepper!

Come on, get up!

Call out your picks on that.

Come on, get up on her, Sid.

Mike Glenn's Lady All-Stars are only down by 5.

They're making a great come-back.

Awesome, unanswered points.

Hey guys, I have an idea.

We're not doing anything stupid.

Yeah, we just got you out of trouble.

It's not like that, let's go show

our support for the girls.

Come on.

OK, you guys got this.

All right, let's do it.

Bring it in, come on.

Ready?

Hands in, on three.

You got this guys.

One, two, three, Eagles!

Hey, get up the line, up the line.

Go Maddie, go!

Time out, time out.

Fired up All-Stars, fired up!

OK, now you got that rhythm so just play your game, ok?

If you need some water, y'all can get yourself some water.

But Liz, I need you and Joslin to get back, ok?

Yes, and watch for the fast break, ok?

And press 'em, press 'em.

Look, Maddie, you got this, you can do it.

Ok, all right?

Don't let 'em shoot.

Whatever you do, all right.

All right, let's do it.

Come on!

On three... one, two, three, Eagles!

Come on, sis, you can do this.

I'm proud of you, we're all proud of you.

Thanks Claire, that means a lot.

On three... one, two, three, together!

Yes!

One, two, three, Eagles!

Hey, you guys are supposed to be resting

for the big game.

They wanted to practice.

You already made the team.

In case they get to play.

That's right, we need to work at it.

OK, I get it now.

But not too much, you don't want to be too tired.

Ok.

When life seems too hard...

Hills too steep to climb...

Just keep hanging on...

It's only a matter of time...

Amazing...

Yes, come on in.

Coach, I have to tell you something.

Ok.

You have to play Hunter and Brad.

Well, I have to see how that goes...

They've been sneaking out and practicing

every chance they get.

Really?

They deserve to play.

Well, I'll have to think about that a little more.

Do you remember when you told us to be

either chickens or eagles?

Yes, I'm listening.

Coach, I get it now.

It's about more than me,

more than winning.

It's about respecting others and working together.

Coach, we win and lose as a team.

They need to play.

Coach, it's easy for me.

But they've worked hard and they have

and earned the right to play.

Well Alexi, I'll tell you what,

this is your team, you boys.

I'm going to leave that decision up to you guys.

It's going to be your call.

Thanks, coach.

Alexi, you're a good man, proud of ya.

Thanks.

Oh say, can you see...

By the dawn's early light...

What so proudly we hail...

At the twilight's last gleaming...

Whose broad stripes and bright stars...

Through the perilous fight...

Or the ramparts we watch...

Were so gallantly streaming...

And the rockets red glare...

The bombs bursting in air...

Gave proof through the night...

That our flag was still there...

Oh say, does that star spangled...

banner yet wave...

O'er the land of the free...

And the home of the brave...

OK, on three, everybody say, pepper.

One, two, three, Pepper!

Press 'em, make 'em turn it over.

Sorry, coach.

Don't worry about that, we're still in it.

Come on, get back, get back!

All right, now you're looking pretty good out there.

And it's all right if you get some fouls,

if you have a good reason and you're playing hard,

I'll accept that anytime.

Coach, should we try out our rhythm offense?

Rhythm offense?

I think that's all right.

Look, this is your team, it's your game.

How do y'all want to handle that?

Let's rotate every four minutes.

That way we can keep everyone fresh.

Well, you know, that's fine.

That really doesn't matter.

What y'all have to decide is if you want to be

those chickens who are just satisfied

in the yard, or if y'all want to be the eagles,

who soars really high and everybody

has to take notice.

Whatcha' gonna be?

Just one more thing, coach.

What's that?

Everyone plays.

We win and we lose, together, as a team.

All right? We're eagles.

You're what?

Eagles!

All right, everybody in here.

On three, eagles.

One, two, three, Eagles!

Come on, let's go.

Let's go All-Stars!

Fired up All-Stars, fired up!

Fired up, fired up, fired up All-Stars fired up.

This game has been outstanding.

Mike Glenn and his All-Stars are definitely

holding their own.

It ought to be an exciting second half.

All right now, we're gonna have to hustle

a little bit harder this half.

Y'all ready, let's go now.

One, two, three, Eagles!

Time out, time out.

Don't get sloppy, keep doin' what you're doin'

and this game is ours.

Come on guys, you got this.

Defense!

OK, Hunter and Brad, I want both of y'all in the game now.

All right, yeah!

All right, y'all ready to play?

Coach, are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

You better be ready to play.

You guys got this, you and Brad,

just like with Lizzie, all right?

All right, eagles on three, ready?

One, two, three, Eagles!

OK, now let's press 'em!

Pepper!

Holding, against number four, two shots.

Let's hear it!

Ford, you have three fouls.

Come on, guys!

Ford, you've got three fouls on you.

So play careful.

But I still want to play pressure now.

Reggie, we gotta get some subs in here.

Yes.

OK, so let's keep up the pace,

and don't let down, ok?

All right!

On three, let's go.

One, two, three, Eagles!

What's wrong with you guys?

Are you gonna let these guys

take this game away from you?

Anything less than a win against

these guys is shameful.

I'm proud of ya.

I can do it, coach.

No, I think you're going to need to step aside

and sit down this time.

Help him up.

Boys... over here.

Ok, we're down by three.

So we're gonna need to score first, and then

we're going to have to force a turnover.

Ok, cool, we can do it.

Ok, now we gotta stay aggressive,

we gotta use the fast break.

All right, you ready?

Ok, one, two, three, Eagles!

Yeah, go Hunter!

Whoo!

Wow!

Thank you.

Isn't that nice?

That's nice.

Thank you, everybody.

Ok, hold that for me, Hunter.

I can honestly say it has been an honor

and a great privilege to work with all of you

coaches, athletes and volunteers.

I can't thank you enough.

And to you athletes, it doesn't matter if

you continue to play basketball or not.

I want you to know, that you are somebody.

You have value, your life has importance.

You can do all things through him that strengthens you.

Thank you for making this camp a success.

Absolutely wonderful.

Late afternoon on an old basketball court...

The spirit of love was born in...

A young man's heart....

Out of the blue, he will guide you...

So that you grow strong...

The strength that he gives...

Will teach you to live...

And will lead you on...

All with the sprit of love...

Out of the blue, he will guide you...

So that you grow strong...

The strength that he gives...

Will teach you to live...

And will lead you on...

All with the sprit of love...

The sprit of love...

The spirit of love...

There are things you wanna do in life...

And things that stand in your way...

Let go of the fear...

Hold on to your dreams...

Everything's gonna be ok...

When life seems too hard...

Hills too steep to climb...

Just keep hanging on...

It's only a matter of time...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...

Some give up the fight so easy now...

Not knowing they just missed the prize...

They let the world get the best of them...

Caught up in everyone's lies...

The enemy's out to search and destroy you...

To strip every ounce of your hope...

Don't let go of that rope, boy...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...

You don't know how strong you are...

Until you are pushed to the limit...

And there you'll find your inner strength...

Love life and everything in it...

If you're always focused on problems...

They'll keep you down in the pit...

It's only a matter of time...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...

Amazing...

That's what you are...

Courageous... that's what you are

Contagious... that's what you are

That's what you, that's what you are...
