Coach Boone’s methods are by no means for the faint of heart or the weak minded. An unbending drive for perfection is a load that few people have the mental fortitude to bear and Herman Boone makes it look easy. There are few things that motivate a person to hold onto a ball or to memorize their plays like the idea of running a mile after every small mistake. There are many who may believe that Coach Boone’s methods are too harsh, but those people probably have never been in a situation where they have actually needed to push themselves beyond their assumed braking point in order to succeed. For example, after participating in a sport like wrestling one begins to grasp the idea of putting the end goal if front of physical well being.
