Do you want to know what it takes to be a champion?Winners of the 1996 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship, the University of Tennessee's, Lady Volunteers seemed poise to contend for the trophy again. But halfway through the 1997 season, the team could not seem to live up to their promise. They were losing almost every important game of the season. Injury to a star player, Kellie Jolly, didn't help. It seemed that even the remarkable efforts of Chamique Holdsclaw would not keep the team from falling apart. Can this team really win again?
This program follows the Lady Vols, for an entire season. From the 6:00 am
torture runs, inside the lockerroom, on the bench, during the games, the bus
rides, the broken bones, the broken hearts -- the viewer will feel like a
member of the team as they turn tears into triumph at the 1997 NCAA Championship.
The film also captures the intensity and drive of Pat Summitt - the Tennessee coach - as she molds her team into overachievers and winners.
"Pat Summitt is 'a genius of a coach.' "
-- New York Times
This film captures the real world of women's sports - the sacrifices and the rewards - and the commitment that makes a champion.
