Focus on football, not them. 22 00:03:31.669 --> 00:03:33.087 You have to be aggressive. 23 00:03:33.171 --> 00:03:34.839 Now we gotta stay focused. 24 00:04:07.747 --> 00:04:12.502 Hey, hey! Amaree!

Screw you, man. 31 00:05:30.663 --> 00:05:33.916 All right, okay. It's just one loss, man. It's nothing! 32 00:05:38.463 --> 00:05:40.506 Will I see you later? 33 00:05:42.967 --> 00:05:45.094 It's our first loss of the season. 34 00:05:45.178 --> 00:05:47.472 I know we're all upset. 35 00:05:48.348 --> 00:05:53.019 Don't let the nerves get to you. 36 00:05:53.311 --> 00:05:57.273 We beat Texas last year, remember? 37 00:05:57.857 --> 00:05:59.567 We had a long winning streak. 38 00:05:59.650 --> 00:06:01.944 It's our senior year. We gotta finish strong. 39 00:06:28.596 --> 00:06:33.142 You M-A-M-M-A-S-B-O-Y. 40 00:06:35.937 --> 00:06:40.483 I became deaf when I had meningitis. 41 00:06:40.566 --> 00:06:43.611 I was born hearing. 42 00:06:43.694 --> 00:06:46.948 And later, at two or three years old, I lost my hearing. 43 00:06:47.031 --> 00:06:52.078 I was sick and close to dying, and I had a brain infection and swelling. 44 00:06:58.167 --> 00:07:00.837 I can't hear anything. 45 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.296 I can't hear cheering, 46 00:07:02.922 --> 00:07:04.424 the fans yelling. 47 00:07:04.966 --> 00:07:06.509 I feel their vibration. 48 00:07:07.093 --> 00:07:12.390 I feel their footsteps when they run, the boom, boom, boom of the vibration. 49 00:07:16.978 --> 00:07:18.646 The cochlear implant, or CI, 50 00:07:18.729 --> 00:07:20.815 gives you more ability to hear. 51 00:07:20.898 --> 00:07:23.025 I have the cochlear implant, 52 00:07:23.109 --> 00:07:28.072 and I only use it to listen to music, and that's it. 53 00:07:28.156 --> 00:07:31.534 I can feel the vibrations and I can hear the music, 54 00:07:31.617 --> 00:07:34.162 but I don't hear the lyrics. 55 00:07:34.745 --> 00:07:39.000 Music helps me stay focused and calm. 56 00:08:16.787 --> 00:08:20.875 I'm not crazy into basketball. Honestly, football, that's my thing. 57 00:08:21.876 --> 00:08:25.129 You know what keeps me motivated? Working hard. 58 00:08:25.213 --> 00:08:28.549 That's why I don't like baseball. 59 00:08:28.633 --> 00:08:31.802 You know I don't like that bullshit... Right. 60 00:08:32.386 --> 00:08:33.888 True, true. 61 00:08:33.971 --> 00:08:35.556 You're dumb. 62 00:08:44.857 --> 00:08:48.277 So, Lera, are you going to homecoming with Amaree or…? 63 00:08:48.361 --> 00:08:50.738 I'm not sure. We'll see how it goes. 64 00:08:50.821 --> 00:08:53.533 If things are good with us, then we might go together. We'll see. 65 00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:56.786 Amaree said he didn't really wanna go, so we'll see about that. 66 00:09:18.766 --> 00:09:21.227 Football is one of the avenues for them 67 00:09:21.310 --> 00:09:23.646 to show the world what we're made of. 68 00:09:23.771 --> 00:09:24.897 That's not the only way, 69 00:09:24.981 --> 00:09:27.191 but it's one of the many great ways to put that on display. 70 00:09:27.275 --> 00:09:30.987 From here on out, we are seriously focused. 71 00:09:34.615 --> 00:09:38.119 Our goal is to win all the way to homecoming 72 00:09:38.202 --> 00:09:40.288 and win that homecoming game. 73 00:09:45.042 --> 00:09:47.253 With a Deaf team, because they don't hear, 74 00:09:47.336 --> 00:09:49.672 I believe their other senses are heightened. 75 00:09:49.755 --> 00:09:53.009 Our players have a better feel on the field, 76 00:09:53.092 --> 00:09:55.553 and I believe they see things better because they can't hear. 77 00:10:04.645 --> 00:10:06.939 How do we communicate on the field? 78 00:10:07.023 --> 00:10:09.191 We huddle up and shoot our plays out. We have a secret code. 79 00:10:23.122 --> 00:10:26.125 The drum is a very important part of cheering. 80 00:10:26.208 --> 00:10:28.628 Yeah, we feel that vibration, and it's great. 81 00:10:47.563 --> 00:10:49.899 No, no, watch. Follow me. 82 00:12:05.891 --> 00:12:08.853 I'm the only Deaf person in my family. 83 00:12:08.936 --> 00:12:12.148 Yeah, I do feel lonely. 84 00:12:12.231 --> 00:12:14.483 When I was a kid, they would just talk around me. 85 00:12:14.567 --> 00:12:16.777 And I didn't understand any of it, so I'd just go off on my own. 86 00:12:16.861 --> 00:12:21.574 When I run into hearing people out in the world, 87 00:12:21.657 --> 00:12:24.910 I feel, as a Deaf person, I am alone. 88 00:12:25.703 --> 00:12:26.787 That's Dad? 89 00:12:27.037 --> 00:12:28.497 Yes. 90 00:12:32.334 --> 00:12:36.213 I was about two years old when my dad left. 91 00:12:38.424 --> 00:12:40.843 I do wonder why my dad left. 92 00:12:40.926 --> 00:12:45.139 Is it because I'm Deaf? Maybe. I don't know. 93 00:13:22.468 --> 00:13:25.012 Teddy's gone. He was my best friend. 94 00:13:42.488 --> 00:13:48.327 Teddy was on our football team at Maryland School for the Deaf. 95 00:13:48.410 --> 00:13:53.582 Jalen and Teddy, that was Jalen's first relationship. 96 00:13:53.666 --> 00:13:56.043 Jalen's first love. 97 00:13:59.547 --> 00:14:03.133 The reason I was attracted to Teddy is he was funny. 98 00:14:03.217 --> 00:14:05.344 He always made me laugh. 99 00:14:05.427 --> 00:14:08.055 Not only that, but we could have really good conversations. 100 00:14:08.138 --> 00:14:09.807 We could talk about anything. 101 00:14:09.890 --> 00:14:13.185 And then sophomore year, he transferred to a hearing school. 102 00:14:13.269 --> 00:14:16.730 They were asking him, "Hey, you're Deaf, what are you doing here?" 103 00:14:16.814 --> 00:14:19.233 "You should go back to the Deaf school." 104 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:27.867 He was being bullied because of his Deafness. 105 00:14:27.950 --> 00:14:31.996 And he was wearing hearing aids, and they would flick his hearing aid off. 106 00:14:32.872 --> 00:14:36.166 He just had so many issues going on. 107 00:14:36.250 --> 00:14:39.837 His identity, his family, his friends… He was being bullied… 108 00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:43.382 There were so many things going on, and it took a toll on him. 109 00:14:47.261 --> 00:14:49.305 Teddy hanged himself. 110 00:15:35.517 --> 00:15:40.856 Teddy was my close friend. We grew up together. 111 00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:43.984 When he killed himself, it was a huge shock to us. 112 00:15:44.068 --> 00:15:46.195 It had a really big impact on our community. 113 00:15:46.278 --> 00:15:49.281 I felt like I wanted to hurt myself, 114 00:15:49.365 --> 00:15:53.369 because he was gone. 115 00:15:53.452 --> 00:15:56.747 I wanted to hurt myself. I tried to cut myself. 116 00:15:56.830 --> 00:15:58.874 I felt angry. 117 00:15:58.958 --> 00:16:03.295 It was a mixture of anger, feeling upset, sadness. 118 00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:06.632 I feel that, now that he's gone, 119 00:16:06.715 --> 00:16:09.218 it's made it a little bit tougher. 120 00:16:09.301 --> 00:16:14.682 He's gone, but Teddy's always going to have a special place in my heart. 121 00:16:51.427 --> 00:16:54.888 Discrimination is everywhere. 122 00:16:54.972 --> 00:16:58.350 It's pretty much inevitable for them. 123 00:16:58.434 --> 00:17:01.812 I think it's how we react to the discrimination. 124 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.741 Ready, ready… 125 00:17:39.433 --> 00:17:42.936 A lot of the hearing teams don't want to play us. 126 00:17:43.020 --> 00:17:46.315 And most coaches don't like to lose to Deaf coaches. 127 00:17:46.398 --> 00:17:49.735 Out in the hearing world, they tend to look down on Deaf people, 128 00:17:49.818 --> 00:17:53.489 and they don't think we can do things as well. 129 00:17:53.572 --> 00:17:56.617 So the way to prove them wrong is to beat them, 130 00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:59.620 to crush them on the field, and teach them that Deaf people can do anything. 131 00:17:59.703 --> 00:18:02.664 And we prove to them that we are the same. 132 00:21:57.149 --> 00:22:00.986 In the game, when we go to huddle, pay attention to the next play. 133 00:22:01.069 --> 00:22:02.362 Get in and get out. 134 00:22:02.446 --> 00:22:05.115 So make sure you're looking at the play call, 135 00:22:05.198 --> 00:22:07.451 not messing around and talking to each other. 136 00:22:07.534 --> 00:22:11.204 The important thing is, this is our last game. 137 00:22:11.830 --> 00:22:15.500 I need 110% effort out there. 138 00:22:15.584 --> 00:22:19.087 Work hard. We don't need any heroes out there. 139 00:22:19.171 --> 00:22:23.425 Let's tackle it. And we'll get the win. 140 00:22:23.508 --> 00:22:26.511 That's all it takes. Not showin' off. No messin' around. 141 00:23:10.430 --> 00:23:11.973 Hey, what about homecoming? 142 00:23:12.057 --> 00:23:14.393 Me? Who am I gonna ask? 143 00:23:15.185 --> 00:23:18.772 What about Lera? 144 00:23:20.148 --> 00:23:23.318 I'm just askin'. Just askin’. 145 00:23:23.402 --> 00:23:26.405 She doesn't want me. She avoids me. 146 00:23:26.488 --> 00:23:29.032 So I give her space. 147 00:23:29.616 --> 00:23:32.035 Ya know? Thanks! 148 00:23:32.911 --> 00:23:34.830 Yep!

Blow out the candles! 151 00:25:13.845 --> 00:25:17.182 Do you want to get some ice cream here? 152 00:25:28.068 --> 00:25:31.154 Are you gonna pay? Oh, am I paying for you? 153 00:25:31.655 --> 00:25:32.989 I'm broke. 154 00:25:34.699 --> 00:25:37.452 I'm just teasing you. 155 00:25:47.337 --> 00:25:49.923 I'm just curious, what's goin' on with us? 156 00:25:50.006 --> 00:25:52.217 What are we? 157 00:25:53.009 --> 00:25:58.139 I don't know. Are we together or we not? I don't know. 158 00:25:58.223 --> 00:26:00.058 I'm a little scared. 159 00:26:00.141 --> 00:26:02.811 We have a lot going on. 160 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.399 Are we together? 161 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.569 I had a strong throw. 162 00:27:34.653 --> 00:27:36.071 You were a receiver? 163 00:27:36.154 --> 00:27:38.239 -W-R. -Oh, you were a wide receiver? 164 00:27:38.323 --> 00:27:39.574 What happened? 165 00:27:39.658 --> 00:27:42.869 Not now. That was way back then. Way back. 166 00:27:42.952 --> 00:27:44.329 Right, back in the day. 167 00:27:46.331 --> 00:27:47.415 I was good! 168 00:27:47.499 --> 00:27:48.958 -Oh, really? -I was good. 169 00:27:49.959 --> 00:27:52.545 Could you catch the ball with only one hand? 170 00:27:53.338 --> 00:27:55.090 When I was growing up without Dad, 171 00:27:55.173 --> 00:27:56.841 he left, and I was kind of disgusted with him. 172 00:27:56.925 --> 00:27:58.343 It's tough. 173 00:27:58.426 --> 00:28:01.971 It's difficult, and my role model was gone. 174 00:28:02.055 --> 00:28:04.849 But now I feel like I'm connecting with Dad. 175 00:28:07.310 --> 00:28:09.312 First down. Yeah. 176 00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:41.094 So, tomorrow is our homecoming game and our homecoming day. 177 00:28:41.177 --> 00:28:43.638 It's homecoming.
