Things I Like: Coach Klein (The Waterboy)

Coach Klein The Waterboy 1998 movie Adam Sandler Henry Winkler

Coach Klein might actually be my favorite role Henry Winkler has ever done, and yes, I have seen Happy Days.

For which his character is exact opposite of Arthur Fonzarelli. He is uncool and filled without any confidence.

Even for a pathetic college that he was employed by, I can’t believe he still stayed as head coach.

But when Bobby’s unknown talent enters the arena, he starts to become more of a person again. And Bobby helps him break the mental game, which sparks his talent for writing excellent plays like he used to.

So by the time Bobby gets married, he’s an entirely different person. Good for him.
