Synopsis
The directors Robin Hauser Reynolds and Dan Noyes present their “Debut Movie” inspired by perseverance and interior strength. It is the story of Jim Tracy, the deeply dedicated, brutally honest and tough-love coach of the San Francisco University High School cross-country team. Under Jim’s leadership, University High School girls hold a record number 9 state championships, making Jim the most decorated high school cross-country coach in California history. In June 2010, Jim Tracy was diagnosed with fatal Lou Gerig’s disease. The 2010 girls’ cross-country with its captain Holland Reynolds (16) draw the story to International attention when Holland, after collapsing because of cramps during the Californian championship, finished the line on her arms gaining the title for her team and her sick coach.
