Justin Bethune
I played football in high school and almost played college, football until an injury put an end to it. I empathize with Dr. McCabe's experience getting hurting and becoming a psychologist, because I became a contractor, and now a podcaster. Life is wild, and one chapter closing doesn't mean the end of the story.
Katie Moreland
It's always nice to see people making things that are designed to deliver difficult information in a way that feels good. The people who made this movie did that, and I enjoyed watching it. I plan to send it to my friends and siblings with kids.
Leon Downs
The film was very well put together. I like how you got the chance to hear from the players as well as the coaches and mentors. The quality and the layout was nice and pleasing to the eye. The drone camera shots added depth and dimension to the film . Over all I felt that it was well put together.
