Overcomer

I saw this one in Florida a few weeks ago.

I wasn't very interested in it, honestly, since a movie about sports didn't seem that interesting, but it surprised me. There wasn't a dull moment. I actually went to see it a second time in another state about a week later with some other people.

It's the story about a basketball coach whose school shrinks due to jobs moving out of town, resulting in him losing his team and being stuck reluctantly coaching cross country, for which one single girl with asthma shows up to try out.

It's a story about real struggles and real pain in life, that require real work and forgiveness to rise above.

Bit of a tearjerker, but I thought it was overall pretty well done.
