DVD Reviews of 1: The Story Behind the Longest Winning Streak in Football History
DVD Review: A must if you love the purity of High School Athletics...or simply love athletics
Summary: 5 Stars
"1: The Story..." is a must in every coach and sport's fan DVD library. I first caught on to this story as most of us did: little blurbs on the news and small anecdotes in the paper. When I saw that goingdigital films and Tim O'Hara had spent a season with the team, I decided to take a shot and order this DVD.
I should mention that I coach softball and girls soccer, and when I showed the girls soccer team pieces of the DVD they were immediately hooked. We were looking to start a tradition of excellence of our own based on hard work, honesty, morals and Christian values. The girls instituted aspects from the documentary such as chapel time and committment cards into our own season. As a matter of fact, at our first chapel the girls stood up and hugged to seal their committments to each other just as Coach Ladoceur's players do after their own team chapels.
These ideas have become the basis of what we did (and still do), and the cohesion we picked up from Coach Laudceur, his team and his staff were a major inspiration that created our success.
When other coaches at my school found out about Tim O'Hara's work and how we were using it, they began to ask to borrow the DVD. Now, nearly a year later, the DVD has been widely viewed and highly appreciated by nearly every coach in our building.
The beauty of this story is that it's not about football. It's about sports, life and the love of teammates. It's about a coach who has stayed humble (despite ridiculous success), who never preaches the sermon but simply lives it, and who might just knock you off your seat with his dry delivery of powerful words.
Shot beautifully, this DVD captures the essence of high school sports and the true definition of "success" at this level. It's not always pretty, it's not always joyful, but at its best it is pure and honest. In a day of Terrel Owens arbitration cases, steroid-using baseball players and coaches who seem to have lost their influence to players who make three times what they do, "1: The Story..." reminds us that we can still go out to the local ballfield and catch sports at its best.
And if you're a coach, it reminds you that your job matters for all the right reasons.
