A great sports movie is something that you want to be able to go back to periodically in your life. It’s also great to pass on to your friends or kids, and hopefully, it will have a similar impact on them as it did on you. Some of the most impactful sports movies of all time are Rocky, A League of Their Own, Rudy, and Miracle. These are just a small list of movies that have changed people’s lives for the better and have taught millions strong life lessons.
What all these sports movies have in common is that they all show what greatness looks like and what you need to do to achieve it. When you see the movie Rocky, you see a champion in the making and what he puts into his sport to achieve greatness, and I think that watching that can change a mindset in a person and really make you understand what it really takes to be the best.

The impact that this movie had on him and he had to say “It’s okay to be a 17-year-old penguin surfer and to not have crazy plans in life, and to just take life day by day and see where you end up.” Sports are possibly one of the most important things for kids around the world and without them, people wouldn’t be as good with team skills and being able to work with other people. Sports Movies Bring out the best in people and can make anyone no matter who you are feel hopeful and determined in your life.
