    Inspirational

    Thank you for sharing your story. This film will show you that it doesn't matter where you start, all that matters is where you're going. Everyone's path will not be the same. Freddy's path was not traditional but he was able to make the most of it. His book trial to triumph was extremely inspirational and the film was no less. I recommend this film to all athletes. Your plan may not go as you originally intended, but with grit, hard work and perseverance you just never know where you will end up. I want to thank Freddy and all of the athletes that were featured for sharing their stories. I'm glad I gave it a watch.

    From beginning up ending immensely impactful

    This Documentary shared a ton of messages! Thoroughly enjoyed hearing sides of the story from so many!

    It was a " can't miss any moment" documentary once my husband and I began watching it the better the story unfolded!

    The way life unfolded for both the parents and Mr Stevenson plus Miss soon to be Mrs. Deja just AMAZING!

    Hearing all he went through with the injury as well was so heart breaking but hearing his beautiful mom stating she prayed for him and just watching the support and it all unfold 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I give this a 10 out of 10 will definitely recommend

    Certainly sharing for others to watch...and congratulations on your engagement the tears!

    Excellent Documentary

    Very amazing documentary and a necessity for anyone considering life after sports. Loved every moment of this documentary so often we take life for granted and not think of those who count it as a blessing just to wake up and see the next day. It's amazing how life hits so hard and we forget about how hard it is to overcome. All the on looker see is what's in the spot light they don't see all the work and effort these young athletes put in and the many sacrifices the parents make to make sure their children are successful, from long days, to sleepless nights, to praying for your children, supporting them not only physically but emotionally as well!

    Inspirational

    Wow! This film is every bit of impactful for anyone doubting themselves or wanting to give up. I love how it's raw and uncut ; you feel like your sitting across from the speakers as they tell their story. Freddie overcame adversity but never strayed to far from Gods light and it shows throughout the film. I recommend this film to everyone and you won't be able to turn your gaze off it from start to finish! He's a humble guy and football was always his passion from the beginning. They're are stories from his teammates he played with at Florida state and perspectives from mental health psychologist.

Give your heart a little lift and spend some time watching this movie with your family.
