The acting was top notch. The title was appropriate as he had to persevere on SO MANY levels. His mother, if aspects of his home life were realistically portrayed, was his greatest encourager - but her constant state of denial was his greatest liability as well. It pushed him to be a better person. I hope his siblings chose the higher ground as well. Great coaches. Shows how life circumstances can be good or bad. It’s how you respond to them. And his teammates were another great example of how love can change the world. He is an inspiration.
