Halftime - team losing, player wants to quit

Coach Rivera, Star Player Jackson7 lines

Full Script

Coach Rivera: You walk out that door now, you're not just quitting on me. You're quitting on every kid who looks up to you.

Star Player Jackson: Those kids don't know what it's like. The pressure, the expectations—

Coach Rivera: You think I don't know pressure? I played in the same system you did!

Star Player Jackson: And look where it got you. Coaching high school ball instead of the pros.

Coach Rivera: You know what? You're right. I didn't make it. But I'm still here. Still fighting. Can you say the same?

Star Player Jackson: Coach, I—

Coach Rivera: No. You listen. Talent gets you in the door. Heart keeps you in the game. What's it gonna be?
