Year of the Bull (a High Football Documentary film)

March 7, 2010 by  

(Highlights only) This documentary paints a compelling portrait of Taurean Charles, a high school football player for Miami’s Northwestern Bulls. Located in Miami’s impoverished Liberty neighborhood, Northwestern high has a history as a breeding ground for college football and NFL players. Led to believe that football is his only ticket out, Charles focuses all his efforts on earning a place on a Division I collegiate team, letting his grades suffer in the process. But if Charles can’t raise his SAT score to meet the ncaa’s standards, he might never escape his inner city life. As Charles struggles to meet demands from his coaches, family, and society, he wonders who he can actually trust. YEAR OF THE BULL reveals the immense pressures facing poor black youth, and exposes the violent and cruel methods used by coaches to push young athletes.

    thats why this team is so tough, your enviorment shapes alot of who you become, and the coaches put these kids in a jungle ‘Do or Die – Survival of the toughest’ kinda enviorment, a coach goes and beats up a player and then hugs him after that makes that player so much tougher and he will be able to handle any coach no matter how much yelling because these coaches did more than yell’

    yeah i dont think the film was for sale cause it was about a high school student and that would be promoting him and they would make money off of him but you cant do that with a high school player

  10. hanes0092 on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    u obviously never played on any teams in highschool, maybe fuckin cheerleading, but there are swearing bcuz they are truley pashionet about there team, if they coaches didn’t give a shit, they wouldnt always be one of the top teams in the nation every year.

  14. flnative123 on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    No it is because they have the best athletes in the state

  15. mercabee on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    Why do these coaches need to swear and hit players to make a point?

    I believe you can instill a point with intensity without resorting to namecalling and hitting. It’s childish.

    @rondotwoKG lol dude its high school not NFL.

  17. bhkilla23 on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    this really is why teams down south are the best every year. coaches instill toughness in their players by any means necessary. i wish my coaches were like this.

  18. rondotwoKG on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

  19. t2shay01 on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

  23. slkatz on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    There was very little, if any, actual English spoken in that video.

  24. LETZZERO on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    Coaches are disgraceful. Honestly they acting hard as if he couldn’t just kick the shit outta them.

  25. senationalliv on March 7th, 2010 5:30 am

    I’m surprised this has so many thumbs downs. Everything you said is true. Most likely the will not all be signed and for those who aren’t what are they to do with memories of coaches screaming at them, calling them worthless?
