Coach Gaines shows this trait as he is motivating the team by talking about how they should see themselves and how it is not just about winning. He says that it is about themselves and how they will feel after they have played the game; if they tried their best and did everything they could, then their heart should then be as full as his. “It’s not about winning. It’s about you, and your relationship with yourself, your family, and friends. Being perfect is being about looking at your friends in the eye, and know that you didn’t let them down, because you told the truth. And that truth is that you did everything that you could. There wasn’t one more thing you couldn’t done. And you lived in that moment with clear eyes, and love and joy in your heart. If you could do that, then you are perfect.” - Coach
