Undefeated Documentary (2011) by Jessica Sheinfeld

 Undefeated is a documentary about a football team in a poor area of Tennessee.  It's shown that these kids on the team have no chance of amounting to anything as they grow older given their states and conditions they were brought up in.  It isn't until the new coach arrives that they start to have hopes for their futures.  Most of these kids don't grow up with a present father figure so for most until coach Courtney arrives.  Not a single kid on the team had a parent attend college, but every kid had at least one parent who had been behind bars.  Coach Courtney relates to the team on the same level of not having a present father figure to look up to.  The story is based around Coach Courtney and three of the football players.  During the day Coach Courtney owns a company dealing with Hardwood.  Coach Courtney doesn't just coach the team he takes major interests in their lives.  He does everything in his power to help his players deal with anything going on in their lives.  The goal of these specific three players is that they have a high chance to go to college to play football on scholarship.  Their dreams are to finally all get out of North Memphis and Coach Courtney does everything in his power to help them get that opportunity.  Although he is a great role model for his players he lacks as a father to his own children.  In the end he knows it's time for him to move on and focus more on his family rather then his team.  It is an incredibly touching story and I for sure recommend watching this documentary.
