Very good movie. I love how she did not give up. She may have gotten discouraged (like we do) but she kept the faith and I love the family talk at the dinner table. Need more movies like this to bring the families back to working and playing together. I highly recommend this movie whether sports inclined or not.
When my 7 year old son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, I had him watch this film I remembered from my childhood. He was inspired and so was his brother! Now my family helps me more with the home exercises. Awesome story.
