30 for 30s and other sports docos

I watched The Short Game on Netflix. Made in 2013 it follows a bunch of kids competing in the World Junior Golf Champs at Pinehurst Country Club. More than a film about golf, it shows why golf is a metaphor for life. I watched it with the CF Jnrs and there were lots of teaching moments about not giving up, working hard, and reacting to life's bad beats the right way (and in some cases the wrong way). 5 child golf prodigies out of 5 angry caddie Dads

Breaking Point on Netflix.
Might be the team from Drive to Survive give pro tennis similar treatment. Brilliant to watch. There is also a similar new doco series on golf which I plan to watch
Full Swing now on Netflix on golf, and apparently they're doing one on the 6N Rugby as well.

Netflix has a doco on Boston Celtics legend/civil rights activist Bill Russell. Some great footage from 50s/60s NBA.
Ooooohhh, thanks - hadn’t heard of this. Amazing to think what a lot of these athletes went through while giving everything to winning in their cities
