The Streak

A very positive spin on the winning streak. Not a discouraging word, e.g. on holding kids back for high school "redshirts". Perhaps the price of getting access to the coach, wrestlers, and families. Can't say I learned much, other than that the quality of high school wrestling in Florida does not look that good. Although any kind of movie or documentary on high school wrestling is rare, a better one was "Pinned", the one about Ohio's Lakewood St. Eds., which contrasted the wrestlers at St. Eds with that of the public school kid down the road.

Excellent film about the importance of teamwork. How you need them to win, yes, but even more when you do not.

My husband is a lifelong wrestler/coach/organizer/board member. This is a lovely, lovingly done movie about the sport and the dedication required.I had heard of the movie and wanted him to see it, but it was not available on Apple, Netflix or Amazon, but purchasing the DVD means we will be able to pass it on to others in wrestling, so it worked out just great!

Just what I expected.

Great movie on wrestling and the coaching..

Bought this movie for my husband who was a wrestler in highschool and college in Texas. We both enjoyed this movie very much! Now he is the highschool head wrestling coach and he had his team watch this film during his wrestling period while standardized testing was going on for lower grade levels...anyways the kids loved it too. It really displayed how serious & tough wrestling is as a sport that doesn't get much recognition in Texas (it's all about football down here) and to show his kids new to the sport what they can be up against when they hit big tournaments, regionals and even state. Point is...great wrestling film for anyone who loves and respects the sport!

Good film about working hard and how to handle the mental challenges that wrestling bring to a high school youth wrestler. One scene with some language not appropiate for a young audience. Wrestler drops the "F" bomb in the heat of not wanting to lose the "streak" to motivate team.

Very well done dvd. It shows the hard work wrestlers put in and that by working hard you can acheive great things for even long periods of time. It also shows though that you can not always be top dog/undefeated, There will come a day that you will lose and you will have to pick yourself back up and push on even after a defeat. I espeically liked the coaches methods/ his attitude towards his wrestlers, their accomplishments, and also how he reacted when the streak was finaly broke.
