Invictus

We just finished watching the movie Invictus. It’s a movie about a rugby team from South Africa that tries to win the World Cup. The president of South Africa that had just got out of prison believed that they could win when no one else did. Everyone thought that Nelson Mandela (the president) was crazy cause they haven’t won any games. He believed in them and encouraged them the whole way and through all their games. Nelson Mandela (the president)  had just got out of jail so the crowd was usually boo-ing him. He made the team think that they could be greater than they believed. The rugby team ended up making it to the world cup. They played the hardest team in the whole world. They ended up winning by a field goal from like half field. I learned that to be a good leader you have to trust in your team and the people and tell them that they can be greater than they imagine.
