Many folks have a difficult time around Christmas. For some it is the lack of food, for others, it's the cold weather. Inspiration can be found in many places, but sometimes we need to look for outside sources to find that spark again.
The world of fantasy and fiction is one such source. They are a good way to get motivated, stay focused on your goals, learn from others' success stories, and be inspired by their courage in overcoming adversity. As a fitness coach, you can reach out to inspirational movies to get inspired and empowered.
These movies give me goosebumps and work as a powerful source of hope and faith whenever I watch them, and if they do the same for you, then you're at the right place.
These are the most inspiring movies which will help you understand that no matter whatever is going on in your life, there is always a way out and victory is just a matter of time.

Coach Carter
This film is based on the true story of Ken Carter, a high school basketball coach.
After becoming frustrated with his team's careless attitude and low academic performance, Coach Carter decides to lock his team out of the gym until they improve their grades, show more competitiveness in the classroom, and raise their overall work ethic.
Coach Carter's tough-love attitude works well with the team, as he instilled in them values of life such as pride, unity, and devotion, which enable these young men to achieve results on the court.
A key takeaway from the film
Coach can be a positive role model- As a coach, one can learn from Ken Carter's character and teach clients life skills that will help them succeed in all areas of their lives. A coach is not just a teacher, but also a role model who sets an example for his clients to not only achieve their fitness goals and stay on track with their fitness journey but also to be successful in their personal lives. Establishing a relationship of trust means understanding your client's struggles and giving them the hope to fight their battle.

The Pursuit of Happyness
This movie is an inspiring story of Chris Gardner, a salesman who is struggling to make enough money to provide for his son and pursue his dreams. He quits his low-paying stock trading job and enrols in medical school in the hopes of changing their lives, but he soon finds himself homeless, with no one ready to help him until a stranger named Ray comes in.
Chris Gardner's story is one of great perseverance in the face of extreme adversity. Despite all his struggle, Gardner never gives up on his desire of being a successful father and eventually it.
A key takeaway from the film
Never ever give up on your passion- The most touching scene in the movie is when Gardner is seen telling his son,
“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves; they want to tell you, you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”
A successful coach is the one who has the power of making their clients believe in their dreams even if they don't have the means or ability which is needed for achieving them.

The Karate Kid
This movie tells the story of an 11-year old boy who moves to China with his mother and quickly becomes the target for a group of bullies at school, led by their martial arts master. At first, this young man is unable to defend himself but he soon learns kung fu from Mr Miyagi-a maintenance worker in his apartment building and eventually defeats his bullies in an open tournament.
A key takeaway from the film
Every time you get knocked down, you get back up- In life, we are often faced with tough situations where our own family and friends pull us down and our confidence, spirits, and joy begins to dwindle. As a coach, you can play a vital role in inspiring and uplifting your clients. You can help them see the positive sign, the promising future they have, and restore their confidence.
One inspiring message that can be taught to students from a young age is to fight for what they believe in and face every situation fearlessly.
