One word comes to mind when you think of the University of North Carolina athletics program: dominance. You might come up with the men’s basketball program led by many great players and legendary coaches.
However, their women’s soccer program has to be the best kept secret in all of collegiate sports. The UNC women have played their way into the record books, becoming one of the most storied programs in NCAA history. All of this success can be attributed to two impressive coaches, who continue to produce the biggest stars in the game of women’s soccer.
Anson Dorrance and Bill Palladino have inspired a new generation of women athletes and provided them with the values necessary to be successful on and off the pitch. Resilience, selfless teamplay, toughness, and sacrifice are taught on a regular basis. This has led to a true team that is winning consistently in “the age of parity”.
This documentary provides fans unprecedented coverage into the UNC program, coaches, and players. It is done in a personal yet professional manner. Glimpses of the players’ lives are merged with gameplay footage in an incredibly effective manner. Most of all it is one of the few films to focus on the women’s game in the collegiate ranks.
