In this episode of the Swimmer’s Ear Podcast, I’m talking about my favourite sports movie, Rudy (no judgment, please), and how it helped me stay involved in sport over the years.
You can find more details on some of the other movies mentioned from CBC Digital Swimming Archives at http://www.cbc.ca/archives/topic/swimming-general
Rudy (1993)
All Rudy Ruettiger wants in life is to play football for his beloved Notre Dame. Unfortunately, Rudy is no athlete, his academic record is spotty, and his family can’t afford to send him to college. But Rudy has an abundance of two things: heart and hope and he ultimately overcomes the odds.
