7/10
Soccer improves mental health!

Warning: Spoilers
In short, this is an inspirational story about a person who has lost all confidence in himself, and thus has been depressed and angry for three years. His father is a successful ex professional soccer player and current coach, and his older brother plays on his father's team -which appears to be an MLS-level team. The protagonist has been reduced to playing in adult leagues since his mother died, and his father subsequently cut him from the team.

You can guess early on most of the scenarios and the ending, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment. In fltering steps, he slowly regains his confidence, or at least enough to ask the coach of another team for a tryout. If you didn't know, this coach is Brianna Scurry, in real life World Cup winner, and Perhaps one of our most famous soccer players. He makes the team and ultimately gets them into the playoff against guess who. I'll leave the results of the finale for you to see. Not a great movie, but for Soccer fan or for those who love "overcoming the odds" movies, You should see this.
