DVD Reviews of Perfect Effort
DVD Review: Excellent Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Wanted to learn more about Coach Ladaceour's methods and why his teams win so much. This documentary is really interesting. It shows a lot of in the locker room speeches and focus' on 4 players and their stories.
It chronicles the 13 weeks of the 2000 season where De La Salle held the winning streak intact and the teams goes through a lot of adversity during the year - you can feel the pressure that the QB is facing and how difficult it is to live up to expecations and play in big football games.
One of my favorite scenes in the film was when Coach Lad went off on the kids because they had a food fight at one of the player's parent's home during a team meeting. He really teaches them a lesson here and it has nothing to do with football but more about life...His quote is "That's a f....ng reality" its interesting to see all the players not take their eye off him as he reads them the riot act and its well deserved - great drama and its real - no acting.
Again, people interested in coaching or youth sports should watch this film as it is real and raw. The language is tough so not for young kids although the dvd has a toned down language version. Amazing to see the hitting going on in HS Football - DJ williams and Simon and Demetrious Williams can really hit on both offense and defense. You see guys like Maurice Drew, Derek Landri in the film in the background when they were just the role players. They played against Matt Leinert at Mater Dei and blasted them. Amazing to see where the 4 players on DLS focused on wind up - you'll have to watch.
some of the games are not pieced together real well - wanted to see the final scores of some games and what happened but overall a fine documentary. coach eidson was not a good model in this film as he actually calls out guys by their names in front of the whole team - rips them a new one - and embarrasses them in front of the team and cameras - guess they screwed up.
Not sure why not more review on this DVD - I watched it after hearing a KNBR radio interview on Coach Ladeceour and hearing how pleased he was with the film.
DVD Review: awsome
Summary: 5 Stars
