Abstract

This study analyzes the struggle of Timo Cruz in the film Coach Carter (2005) through the perspective of Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology. The purpose of this study is to describe Timo Cruz's struggle to achieve a better life and explain how feelings of inferiority affect his personal development. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data sources in the form of dialogue, actions, and scenes that reflect inner conflict and the process of character change. The analysis focuses on six main concepts in Adler's Individual Psychology, namely feelings of inferiority, striving for superiority, lifestyle, social interest, creative self, and fictional finalism. The results show that Timo's feelings of inferiority become a turning point that drives him to change and struggle to overcome his past. Through discipline, responsibility, and the support of Coach Carter and his colleagues, Timo is able to develop social interests, improve his lifestyle, and find a new direction and purpose in life. Timo's journey reflects Adler's main principle that efforts to overcome inferiority can lead a person to personal growth, independence, and more meaningful achievements in social and moral life
