Scene: Months before the 1980 Winter Olympics, the Men’s Ice Hockey Team
heads over to play the Norwegian National Team in a exhibition game. After
tying the team that they should easily defeat if they want to compete at the
actual Olympics, Coach Brooks makes the team do a difficult conditioning
skate over and over again until they finally understand why they are there
and who they really play for.
Uses:
1. Entire movie as a look at servant-leadership and how powerful The
Amazing Law of Influence is. (Track #10 has boy explaining ALOI)
2. Forgiveness Scene 1 =(Track #15-16) Ending with Young boy
forgiving his single Mom, after he runs away, for slapping him due to
her problem with alcoholism.
3. Forgiveness Scene 2 =(Track #30) Because of finding strength from
her son forgiving her, the Mom forgives the young boy’s Grandma for
the abusive upbringing that she experienced.
Scene: In this Sci-Fi film Neo is brought to a meeting with Morpheus where he
is challenged to make a choice (will) to continue to believe whatever it is that
he wants to believe in his life, or to make the choice to change and “see how
far the rabbit hole really goes”. This is great metaphor for making the choice
to focus more on others rather than yourself in servant-leadership.
Two Scenes: (Note: Look for edited version of movie as there is foul language
in parts of Track #17 – I just lower the volume)
Scene 1 (Track #6) = Young Latino father comes home from a long day at
work to find his little daughter hiding under the bed. He finds out that she is
scared because she heard a gunshot. The father uses the essentials of
kindness and respect as well as the skill of play to create hope in his daughter
to come out from under the bed influencing her with his love.
Scene 2 (Track #17) = Near the end of the film the daughter, upon seeing her
Dad return home from work, runs outside to save her Dad from a gun
wielding store owner who has falsely accused the young father of ruining his
business. Because of his influence on his daughter she runs out to save her
Dad and right when she jumps in his arms the gun goes off. Luckily the adult
daughter of the store owner purchased blanks instead of real bullets for his
gun and in the end the girl and her father walk into the house physically
unharmed.
Scene: Hunter Adams walks into the room of an older patient at the mental
ward that he has self committed himself into and asks him to explain the
answer to the question the old man has been asking the other patients, “How

of servant-leadership.
2. Kindness –(Immediately following Track #2 Scene of “look beyond

to go to the bathroom, instead of being afraid of the imaginary
squirrels.
3. (Track #4) Next, Patch conducts an experiment with positively
interacting with people that ends with him at a meat packers
convention.
4. (Track #5) Next, Patch begins to interact with patients, including the
kids in the cancer ward.
5. (Track #15) The final couple scenes where Patch has been brought
before a committee to decide whether he is going to be removed
from medical school for practicing without a license and what
transpires is truly inspiring as Patch explains that he wanted to
become a doctor so that he could serve others and because of that he
has lost everything, but he has also gained everything.

Forgiveness
1. (Track #25) Scene where Kevin Costner’s character is driving with
Terrance Mann back to their home in Iowa and he explains how he
never got to ask for forgiveness from his father before he died and
how he had lived with that regret.
2. (Track #33)At the end of the film when Costner’s character is upset
that he has served so much and not ever asked, “What’s in it for me?”
and what he finds is that because he has done all the things to help
others, his father has returned and a great scene of forgiveness
occurs.
Humility & Forgiveness
Scene #4 & #13Great combo scene where Rocky and his Manager have an
argument after his manager gives his gym locker away (ending with Rocky
walking out of the boxing gym)and later Rocky lets out all of his anger when
the manager later comes to his house, after Rocky has been offered a title
shot, because his pride and feelings have been hurt. After he vents and the
older manager walks out dejected, Rocky eventually runs outside and in the
matter of seconds lets go of his pride and shakes his managers hand, showing
humility and inviting him back into their relationship, which also shows
forgiveness.

Dog handler trains its pet to be a service dog from the time it is a young
puppy, only to find out that the dog has a knack for chasing birds. The owner
is bummed until she finds out the dog has a gift for surfing! The dog then uses
that skill to help a paralyzed young man raise money for his medical costs.
Inspirational ending when it shows the boy walking with assistance for the
first time.
Scene starts with quote, “Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart. If your
attitude isn’t right your heart stinks.” A high school football coach teaches a
powerful lesson when he challenges the team leader with how his attitude is
then has him make a promise and do a conditioning exercise called “The
Death Crawl”. What transpires is something that changes the team leader and
all of his teammates for the rest of the season.

Making the harder choice
Scene (Track #36) Setting is during the war when the first ever girl’s baseball
league was formed and the star player of the league is going to quit because
her husband has come home and she says, “It just got too hard…” and the
manager responds with “It’s supposed to be hard, if it were easy everyone
would do it…it’s the hard that makes it great!” I use this clip to promote the
idea of making the harder choice to serve and preparing students that it is
hard work, but great work!

Scene #1 (Track #12): Preview clip as there is a bad word (a*&). After
William Wallace is recognized with a Knight Hood for his courage as a
Scotsman fighting against the cruel English King, the leaders of the Scottish
Tribes (his own people) argue against him. The prince of Scotland follows
him out of the room and has a conversation with him about people with
power needed to take care of themselves. William Wallace challenges him to
be a leader and stand up for what is right. *End scene at line, “If you would
just lead them, they would follow you, and so would I.”
Scene #2 (Track #14): The next time we see the Prince, he gives his word that
he will unite the clans of Scotland and support William Wallace’s courage to
fight back against the English, but the young Prince then goes to his father the
king, who is dying, and is told that he cannot and must betray William
Wallace because they need to protect themselves, even at the cost of English
tyranny and oppression. *End clip after the dying Scottish King says, “You

Scene #3 (2 hour 12min mark): The young prince goes to his father after he
followed his instructions to unite with the English King (in battle against his
own people) so that he can secure his own power. He let’s out his pain by
describing how his inability to stand up for what is right is tearing him apart
and never wants to be on the wrong side again. (Important – End scene after
line, “I will never be on the wrong side again…”)
Scene #4 (2hour 27min mark): *Read this before pushing play on this scene,
“The prince (Robert the Bruce) sends his comrade to give William Wallace his
word that he truly wants to unite now and lead as William Wallace has
challenged him to do, but when William Wallace comes to join him, the
Prince’s father (The King) has betrayed him and told the English who are
there waiting for him and take William Wallace prisoner to be killed. The
Prince goes up to confront his father and finally stands up to him when he
says, “My hate will die with you.” (End scene)

Great video of a man dancing at the Gorge Amphitheater with narration of
how this event connects to leadership. A lone guy dancing, leads to a first

to the movement was not the original dancing guy, but the first follower.

Powerful two clip scene. Father is riding in truck with friend and daughter
and when they stop at a convenient store the dad’s daughter asks him to
dance with her. His pride prevents him from doing so because of how afraid
he is of what his friend will think.
Later in the film…the father’s daughter dies in a car accident when a friends
parent is driving her home from school and the dad eventually goes back to
the spot where his daughter asked him to dance with him. *Note-father does
pray at the end of the scene.
True story of Terry Fox, a young man from Canada who battled cancer and
wanted to raise money for cancer awareness and research. Terry had his leg
amputated during his battle and afterwards trained for 14 months on his
artificial leg before embarking on an quest to run across Canada east to west.
He planned on doing this by running a marathon a day! The story is both
touching, heartbreaking, and definitely inspiring. (The extra special
connection in this story is Terry’s age and what he was able to do, which
connects with many students.)
How do you view others? This clip will challenge anyone to see those around
them differently.
Issues with Social Media are very real. This video by speaker/consultant
Houston Kraft is a powerful reminder of what teens not only deal with, but
should be thinking about, including how we treat each other.
