Of course, no problem.

Be well, man.

Stay cool. Powerful Mike.

Hey, don't disappear, will you?

I go and I will find you.

He's never kidding, Mike.

No.

- How's your ankle? - Better.

I should be back on the beam in a few weeks.

Nice. Take care.

Gravity is a drug.

Okay, great job.

Good. That's great.

Excellent!

Use your legs, your feet on the pedalo.

Pedal!

That! Good job, straight.

You are on your own.

- Are you okay? - Shit!

Look how you speak.

Don't you want to stop?

He's got bruises on top of bruises.

Want to try the wheels again?

He is well. No, no, stable.

It's okay, you have nice teeth, don't lose them.

Alright, you're on your own now.

Some things, physically, you cannot do.

You have to use the training wheels, let's go back to them, shall we?

Once again.

They want to put me in Special Education.

Show me.

Algebra two, biology, English, weight lifting.

Weightlifting?

Do you know that you can be excused from Physical Education courses?

Cerebral palsy, right?

Sim.

I chose weightlifting for wrestling.

Wrestling?

- Can you fight? - Yea.

I used to...

anyway,

can you help me with this?

Sounds like a good challenging schedule to me.

Are you sure you can handle all this and try to fight?

I like challenges every now and then.

You take it back to the consultant.

And she will register you.

Do not underestimate me.

See you in class.

WEIGHT ROOM

One two Three.

Thanks man. I am forever in your debt.

I am Mike.

Are you stoned or something?

No, man.

I'm very sorry.

I'm Jeff.

Hey, you really helped me out on that last rep.

- Thanks. - What were you,

trying to do?

Kill himself?

What?

Trying to kill yourself?

No, I'm trying to lose weight for wrestling.

you know you can't

fight underneath.

Under what?

Under. Floor.

We have a joker here.

I make people laugh every now and then.

I bet so.

You are lost?

No, I'm going to do weightlifting.

Are you trying to gain mass?

Training, for wrestling.

Do not play?

Wrestling?

Have you fought before?

I used to a little, in third grade.

It's just that I'm bad.

But this is my last year,

so i decided to do it.

I'm looking for a scholarship.

That's how I go to college.

- Good luck! - OK.

For you too.

It's just keeping to the ground.

He might get another warning

contra Deely Mt.

He can win the fight.

Clock is ticking.

We need more action if we are to win this fight.

He's behind it.

One point for Steve Frazer.

The fight is tied.

The time is ending.

What a feat for Steve Frazer,

- he is the gold medalist. - That.

So what's your first class?

It's... Weight lifting.

Weightlifting?

- Is this a class? - Yea.

Oh really?

Is weightlifting a class?

See you later.

Get a good workout, Arnold.

That's the geek.

what's the problem with this guy?

What is he, a cripple?

EXIT

What's wrong with his foot?

Okay, everyone, get together.

Hi, I'm Coach Warren.

Come on, everyone gather.

Welcome to physical education.

Now if any of you enrolled in this course

because you thought you would get rid of

of the first period calculus course.

Think again.

If any of you took this course thinking you're going to leave

of being skinny and weak

and leave here like an adonis.

Think again.

Weightlifting is a great way

to build a fit body.

But, only if it is done correctly.

And if it is done here, it will be done correctly,

no exceptions.

Is this understood?

Yes, coach.

Now you have three minutes

to change and meet me at the gym.

Now! We will! Come on!

Since you've decided that you're

with a lot of energy from that weight room.

I thought it was time for a little impromptu test of endurance.

This is separating the weak from the strong.

You will follow me, we will climb each step.

Legs up! Go up all the steps!

Going up...

Spinning, knees up and down.

Make it all the way around.

If you fall to the ground.

Get back up.

Head over here, and come down.

Then floor.

Twenty-five push-ups.

come soon!

I want twenty-five.

I know you can. I know they can.

Come on, legs up.

Carter, let's turn around.

What are you doing?

Sitting, playing Atari, watching MTV?

I want my MTV.

Yeah well you'll get your chance to watch MTV

as soon as it does three more laps.

As all your friends like to laugh with you,

do it together.

The wrestling competitions

are about to start.

And you know Hillsborough only accepts the best of the best.

Go, guys.

Three more, three more. That's resistance.

You are young.

Listen up...

if you can't climb the stairs,

can run around the perimeter of...

I can.

I can, yes.

All right, come on, keep walking.

Knees up, knees up.

Take one, pass the rest back.

Take one and spend the rest.

Get one Michael, spend the rest.

Welcome to world literature,

Sou a Sra. Payne.

It is spelled PAYNE.

For the first nine weeks, we will study the craft of poets,

like Frost,

Whitman

and Wordsworth, among others.

And at the end of this session,

you will compose your own poem.

And read aloud.

You may find that, after you're done,

can appreciate

or even love poetry.

Open your books in Wordsworth.

The world is too much for us.

Using the index can help.

And that's why she can't sit with us for lunch.

And she knew about Patrick, my boyfriend,

but he left a note in his locker, knowing I would find it.

Of course, she liked him and we broke up,

but whatever, you know, I like Trevor.

I've been trying for a long time...

What is his main problem?

I'm not sure.

He's in my English class.

- Sorry. - Watch where you're going!

- Sorry. - I think he wants you.

Get real.

He has a nice ass.

I'm serious. He is cute.

Yes, pare.

A combination of two substances,

not always, necessarily mean

an increase in mass.

The main part of this is the proportions.

so let's start

with a part of sodium bicarbonate.

Add a third...

That's a wafer.

This is an integer, right?

How many are left?

Two.

Two, what?

Come on, use that big brain of yours.

Alright, let's try again.

That's a wafer.

An integer. Right?

What is it?

One third.

Sim.

Your brain is as capable as anyone else's.

Let's train it.

Understood?

I think.

This gas emission,

causes a decrease in mass.

When you combine two substances,

like bicarbonate of soda...

Going on the bus?

I wouldn't want to sit in your seat.

Don't touch me, idiot.

Oh, don't touch me idiot.

What are you going to do about it, retard?

It seems!

Do not touch me.

What the hell are you doing?

You're an idiot?

I am Jeff.

It's none of your business.

See you on the mat later.

Mike.

Mike?

I'm sorry about Troy.

He's an idiot.

Just leave me alone.

I am fine.

Wants to know? I had an idea.

Comes.

Let's go.

And why are we here?

Preparing you for the qualifiers.

Get on the treadmill.

Mike, get on the treadmill, let's go.

Take off your backpack.

Okay, I'll start slowly.

Continue.

Speeding up.

Come on, Mike.

Keep it up, Mike. We will. You got it.

No, I can't.

You said you wanted to do this.

Mike, I won't stand still,

seeing how Troy does this to you.

You have to defend yourself, you will need more training.

Do you want to fight or not?

Mike, do you want to fight or not?

I want to fight.

OK. I don't know why, but...

I believe in you.

You just need more training.

Okay, do you like aerobics?

Left right. Left, right, turn.

My other side, now, come on.

All together, walk together. we will.

Take a step together,

That's it, carry on.

Together, together, let's go, left, left.

To the right.

Two, three, push, left.

Three, push, right.

- Mike, get those shorts up. - Continues. right.

All right, one more.

Another.

Latest.

Remember the ball is energy, keep it moving.

Don't let it stop.

Come on, Mike.

If you're going to lift the weight, you have to control it.

If you don't control the weight, it will control you.

Stop, let's decrease the weight, let's decrease.

Let's take half of it.

We're going to put it at fifty.

Soon.

It's not about how much you can lift,

but how well you lift what you can.

Your power, comes in control, do you understand that?

Yes, coach.

Okay, go ahead.

And the form is what the muscles respond to.

Control it.

It does not matter,

lift a lot of weight trying to impress

all these guys here.

I don't care if you lift 200 kg or 45.

but your body grows,

when you lift it properly.

This is enough.

It went well. Let's try his legs.

Go ahead and put your back on the floor,

legs up.

Keep them level with your shoulders.

Push up when you're ready, release the brakes,

and bring all the weight to your chest, three times.

Calmly and controlled.

Do not straighten your legs.

That, third time, come on.

Good.

You have strong legs.

I'll put on another 40 kilos.

What about this?

Another 40 pounds.

Remember, it's about control.

3 times.

When are the wrestling qualifiers?

In a week or so.

Will you see them?

I am going to try.

Mike...

Wrestling is a very, very serious sport.

It requires a great deal of agility,

athletic ability and control.

But, you know what a really good sport would be

what do i think you would be great at?

Bowling.

I'll play when I'm retired.

I can prove that I can fight.

Mike, I'm serious, man.

It's very dangerous.

Just give me a chance.

A chance?

Very good.

Hey, bring me another 40 pounds here.

Mike, you want to join the wrestling team.

- Let's give him a chance. - No, man.

Let's give him a stack of eight.

Four on each side, do it three times

and you can try to join the wrestling team.

Don't start if you can't finish.

Look that.

This will be funny.

Pathetic.

Will not.

Has no way.

It saw?

Alright, alright, let's help,

Mike, all right.

Certain!

All right,

it was good, Mike.

This is a classroom,

each of these machines is a book,

start studying!

Want to try something else?

Let's see what other superpowers you have.

What are you doing? No!

- No. - Hey!

- No, let's work. - Hang on.

Try in four days.

I think they want to talk to me.

- No. In the field. - We will.

- Ready? - Yea.

You can't let me play you like a rag doll.

- Right. - Again.

Sim.

You can release me now.

It's just not good to train with you, Mike.

You know, I already joined the team, I already know.

I'm a little...

I don't know, I'm a little anxious.

You're,

- are you nervous? - Yea.

If I don't impress college scouts this season,

I won't go to college.

I will probably end up...

I don't know, in my father's workshop,

helping you for the rest of my life

So yeah, I'm pretty nervous.

Hi.

Hi.

My god, this class gets so boring sometimes.

But, I love Mrs. Payne,

- she's a mess. - Yea.

She is cool.

- I think. - Yea.

Well, I better get going.

Where do you usually have lunch?

in the cafeteria, usually.

In the cafeteria!

You are braver than me.

If something moves, don't eat it.

Thanks for the survival tip.

Certain.

Goodbye.

WRESTLING FINAL ELIMINATORS

...Take it, Troy.

Ready to be immobilized, retarded?

Play fair, Cooper.

You got it.

The goal is to stay on the mat.

Looks like someone has some power.

You got it, man.

Come on, take him down.

Immobilize him, let's go.

Winning you doesn't count.

That's enough, Cooper.

Nice try, Mike. Let's go man.

Come on, get up.

Alright folks, as you know,

there's only room for three more spots on this team

and they will be occupied by:

Ortega, congratulations.

You are part of the wrestling team.

Lee, you did it.

And, Cooper.

But you're an idiot, so let's improve your attitude.

For the rest of you.

There's always next year.

Malhe e prepare-se.

Mike, I'd like to talk to you for a second.

Look, there's always room for... the team manager.

Would you mind being a part of it?

Do not.

No thank you.

All well.

Hi.

Hi Pat.

Hi Pat.

Pat...

Patty...

"Pally."

Hi Patty. We we...

Would you like to go to the...

there ... cinema?

Mike?

Mike, are you okay?

I don't want to be like that anymore.

Look, I know it's frustrating.

No!

You do not know!

You are not me!

I know.

But feeling sorry for yourself won't change anything.

You know it.

I'm trying not to feel.

What happened?

Did you get mad because you couldn't do something?

Guess?

You are not alone.

We can't always have or do what we want, Mike.

I was...

trying to prove something.

Prove what?

I tried...

join the wrestling team and I...

I couldn't and I...

I was just kidding myself, again!

We talked about it.

Dad...

I just want to prove that I can do it.

You are on your way to proving yourself.

You can beat anyone with that mind of yours.

Prove it.

How is everything? Prove it to yourself,

prove it to me, ok?

FIRST WRESTLING TRAINING

Come on, you've been practicing this Half Nelson trick for half an hour.

and they're still halfway through.

You have to think about what the purpose behind it is.

Get the motivation out of it.

What are you trying to accomplish.

Mike, what happened to you this morning, man?

I missed you.

Driving test.

Are you going to scare someone to death?

No, that's next week.

Coach, still need help?

Yes, why?

Can't beat them, join them.

That's very nice of you.

It's a big responsibility

help with training and keep stock up to date.

Can you handle it?

Sim.

I'm proud of you!

Hey guys, relax.

Mike...

Come closer.

Mike has decided to be our new team manager.

Let's give it up.

Let's go.

But, there is an initiation for those who accept to be a team manager.

You are the receiver and I am the demonstrator.

We have trained Half Nelson,

but, there is a purpose behind it.

We block hand, hind leg.

One two Three.

Now I have it here,

levante,

turn it,

and immobilize it.

- Are you okay? - Yea.

How does the mat taste, Mike?

A little salty.

Come on, you're next.

Focus.

Remember you're trying to rebuild

the connection between the way the brain communicates with the body.

the curve of your foot, touch the line,

each step is like a vortex.

Vortex, out.

Inside.

No, no!

Don't be embarrassed. This is not about them.

You're not trying to impress them,

You're not trying to impress anyone.

- This is about you, now. - Yea.

Focus.

You do it for you, you're not introducing yourself.

Start again.

How did this happen to you?

Is that your problem?

THE...

the umbilical cord...

got wrapped around my throat.

My mother was in labor for a long time.

The elbow in the vortex.

Remember, spin with the vortex.

lack of oxygen,

for the brain.

This is what happened.

Will this get worse?

It's not a disease.

It will get better,

with time

and exercises.

Continue.

Centrifuge, out.

Centripetal, inward.

reach out

and rot.

I understand what's been going on. It's difficult.

I've been...

yes, i've been,

I used to be, like you.

Believe it or not.

Were you a geek?

No, no...

You have to be smart to be a geek.

But I was,

boy auditioning for the football team,

I thought about how I would get along,

romantically

socially.

But, I had asthma, you know?

My lungs burned.

So I was humiliated at the end of the day.

Yes, we cannot win them all.

Unfortunately, you cannot.

But you won the best race.

The race to come alive.

Now, you had an extra challenge, which is,

that cord wrapped around your neck.

I want you to undo this cord, now.

I want you to go back and free yourself from that cord.

Release the vortex.

Centrifuge, out.

Centripetal, inward...

Come on Jeff.

Let's go.

Come on, Jeff. No, don't spread it, keep it up.

Hey, John. Finish this guy, let's go.

You have to immobilize this guy.

Mike, where's Johnson?

I did not see him.

We cannot afford to give up.

Hey, coach. Coach.

I can fight.

Mike I know you can fight,

but, you don't against this next guy.

I don't need your help right now.

Okay, so put me.

Are you kidding me?

Will you let the cripple fight?

It's the same as giving up.

Do you really want to get on the mat?

Sim.

Prepare-if and weigh-if.

If you get hurt, it's your ass.

Understand.

Let's go.

We need this victory.

Come on Jeff.

Come on, man.

That's it! You can.

That!

Very well, Jeff.

Comes!

That guy...

he's a bit of a beast.

Keep your balance and keep your legs open.

Sim.

- And stay focused on him. - You can.

Don't be manipulated.

- Don't forget to use your legs. - Yea.

I hope he wins. He's so cool.

I also hope.

Good luck, Mike.

Oh really?

I'll try not to hurt you, cripple.

Okay, close.

- Are you okay? - Yea.

Red winner.

Come on, Mike.

- Are you okay, Mike? - Yea.

- Good job, are you okay? - Yea.

Well, relax, have some water.

- Right! - Come, sit down.

You know, you were really good, Mike.

It was amazing!

I can't believe I was on the mat.

Wait until next time.

Until then, it's so...

there's so much energy, and it's like...

- Hi Hi.

Hey, pat ...

this is Jeff.

Hey Jeff, nice to meet you.

Hey, nice to meet you, Mr. Connelley.

Man, you should have seen Mike fight today.

- To fight? - Yea.

Jeff, he's a fighter.

He was struggling.

You too.

Just a fight for now, but who knows.

So are you struggling?

Yes or No?

So-so.

So-so?

Substitutes don't fight, if they fight, so...

Why didn't you talk it over with me?

Because I already know how you feel about this.

What sense would it make?

I don't know why your father is so against it.

It will do you good.

I won't give up this time.

Good luck when you tell him that.

But only tell me when I'm not here.

I think he will change.

I hope.

So why do you want to fight so badly?

I...

I like the challenge.

Just to be included.

That I'm no different from you.

All I care about is proving my worth to the university scouts.

For my scholarship.

I just want to show my father,

everyone I can do this.

Oh my God.

- Is that a diary? - No.

It's not a diary.

Patty McGrath, hein?

I know her.

Since we were kids.

How did you get her number?

But...

- She gave it to me. - OK.

And I'm Don Johnson.

What are you doing?

Hey, stop, I won't read it, I just need her number.

Do not be shy.

Come on, get me to talk to her.

You?

Hi, is Patty there?

Patty McGrath.

This is Mike Connelley from school.

No sir.

Me, I'm not drunk.

Wait, what's the number?

- No, no ... - Mike, Mike.

They are alcoholics anonymous.

You're so hilarious, man.

- Very funny. - We will.

Mike, do you honestly think that

Patty McGrath, is she into you?

What makes you think,

that she would choose

a shallow athlete?

Sorry, I'm just trying to be your friend.

I don't want to see you broken, Mike.

You are a cool guy.

I just think you deserve someone who can be a little more

Similar to you.

I'm only interested in Patty.

And I think she sees me,

differently from everyone else.

Dream.

Dream until your dreams come true.

Damn it. Hey, I need to go.

I have a stupid Spanish test tomorrow.

Good luck.

Yes, I hope you are ready for the hard week of training.

I was born ready.

Do not hate me.

Why?

I forgot and told Dustin I was having lunch with him today.

- Same? - Yea.

- Not alright. - I am really sorry.

- No, I really don't want to. - It's all right.

I promise it won't happen...

Yes, don't worry about it.

Let's go.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Hi Hi.

Patty.

My God, can you believe we're going to have a poetry test?

I mean, this really sucks.

No, it won't be that difficult.

Yes, of course, I would like to have your brain for this test.

You'll be fine.

Going to lunch?

Yeah, I think I'll get something to eat at home because...

Jade dumped me for her boyfriend of the week.

Well...

I am...

I'm free for lunch if...

You mean you don't feel like taking a chance in the cafeteria today?

Come, can I take you to my favorite place if you want?

- Yes right.

Maybe you can come see me fighting someday.

It's so violent.

It is not for me.

All well.

- Coach Warren? - Yea.

- How can I help you? - I'm Mike Connelly's father.

Mike is one of my brightest students.

Indomitable spirit.

You must be very proud of him.

Yes, he has come a long way.

Pull up a chair.

I was having lunch.

So how are Mike's grades?

Boas.

as long as he's focused on his classes and not this one...

wrestling thing.

Mr. Connelly, extracurricular activities are,

more than just

something that physically frees the body,

is to give him an opportunity to interact

- with your teammates. - Coach.

I want the best for my son at heart,

but physically, he is handicapped.

If you're worried about him getting hurt?

When he was nine years old,

he broke his collarbone in a wrestling match.

He's doing this, rebelling, to prove me wrong.

I just want him to graduate.

So he can find his way into the real world.

As his teacher, I want him to graduate

and find your way in this world,

but, he needs to understand that, now, his biggest obstacle is himself.

And you, as a parent, should know that.

As his father.

I understand what Mike needs better than anyone else.

Mike doesn't see disability as an obstacle.

I think he is stronger

because of that.

And if he can take

that energy and harness it and direct it to yourself,

instead of seeking approval from everyone around you,

can you imagine, what this young man could accomplish?

I just don't want him to get hurt again.

It's not your body.

And your heart.

Whatever God has planned for Mike...

God only knows.

When I saw that boy come in here,

I thought I had a handicap that I needed to take care of.

But it didn't take long...

for him to prove me wrong.

Mr. Connelly, you have to consider what this

means to, Mike.

If you take that away from him, it will...

how everything else that matters was taken from him.

All right, it's up to you.

But if his grades start to drop, I'm taking him out.

Let's go.

My grandmother can do more than you and she has an arm.

Almost two.

Not bad for a beginner.

He guesses.

What?

Patty and I had lunch today.

Same?

Sim.

How it was?

Great, I think.

I really like her.

She's smart, sweet.

Are you going to ask her out?

I am thinking about it.

Good luck, don Juan.

So what's next?

Wait!

I can't move so fast.

Hand over hand.

You can do it, use your legs.

I'm working on it!

You got it!

Jeff!

Jeff!

Jeff! Jeff, don't move!

Are you okay? Do not move. Jeff!

Socorro!

Come on Jeff.

Socorro!

Jeff, are you awake?

What are you doing here?

I came to see how you are.

Yeah, I can't feel my legs.

I'm trying to move them now.

And I can't feel them.

The doctor said it's spinal trauma.

Really?

He says that with physical therapy, I can get back to normal,

but he says...

I will not fight.

Way!

I might as well say goodbye to college.

We,

we can fix it.

We can fix this.

I don't want to be disabled like you.

I know...

I know,

need to

something.

I'm here to help you.

Certain?

THREE MONTHS LATER

One step.

Good.

You know my grandma can get over you

and she has one leg.

- Get up. - I'm trying.

You're trying too hard.

You need to use your mind, not your muscles.

Certain.

First,

we have to go back to basics and retrain that brain.

He is well.

It's difficult.

Now your knee,

your left.

Force.

Come on, move this.

- Push! - I can not.

Come on, push!

- I can not. - Use the right!

Will make it!

I can not do it.

Let me be.

Be what?

A cripple?

Way!

He is fine.

Look, if you don't fight it, now.

You will fight this your whole life.

Do you want to give up your purse?

This is what you want?

Say uncle.

Get off of me.

We walked barefoot on the beach,

Holding hands under the sun

Without caring where we would get.

As the sun Pours its gift into the sky

our problems go away

And disappear with the tide.

A beautiful poem, Patty.

Very romantic.

Mike, your turn.

It's about a good friend of mine who is injured.

I called it:

Of Broken Wings.

Like a bird with broken wings,

He must make an effort.

a challenge of will

a test of power

To reach

the starlight

And if he finds his way

There will be hope for a brighter day

For the truly wise

And smart listen

Your mind

But

Follow your heart.

Hey, good job.

- Hello, McGrath residence. - Hi.

Is Patty home?

Thank you for picking me up and bringing me.

Thanks for the fun.

I...

Hey Mike, you can relax.

Can I call you sometime?

Sim.

Yes of course!

As long as you understand that we're just friends.

You know, I don't want to deceive you or anything.

How is everything?

Yes, me...

I understand. I...

He is well.

I had fun too.

Maybe, maybe, we can,

play air hockey again someday.

Sim.

I would love.

- No, Mike? - Sim?

Have a good night.

You too.

Feel good?

Easy, easy job.

OK let's go.

Certain.

- You beat him here. - Yea.

Use your height against him.

Come on, Mike.

Let's go.

Mike, stay down!

All well.

Finalize.

Defense, defense, defense!

It was enough.

Big effort.

Let's go.

Sit down. A towel, please.

Great job, Mike.

First you take out Jeff and now you lose to their worst guy.

The fight is over for you, Mike.

Why?

Why am I saying. And so.

I will not give up.

You are not a fighter.

Let me be the judge of that.

Do you like to be humiliated? That's it?

You're the only one who's ashamed of me!

Why didn't you do this in your fight?

It's a good hit.

Can I finish the season?

Your future is in your notes.

I want to see if I can do this.

I just... I want to believe in myself.

How long does the season last?

Six weeks.

Six weeks?

You have six weeks.

If your grades drop, you're out.

I'm your father.

I just want you to succeed.

Do you want to fight or not?

I want to fight.

72.5 KG

Unwind this cord.

Yea! I crawled for three years before I could walk.

Let's go.

I will not accept less than one hundred percent.

Yes, coach!

Your hamstrings are very tense today.

You better try to relax.

Let's take a deep breath, this.

Have you ever struggled in school?

Yes already.

Did you win any fights?

Sim.

I won.

I want so badly to win a fight.

Stand straight.

As your trainer.

I want each of you to win every fight

and finish all the opponents you need.

But as a human being,

if you won every fight you participated in

and yet he didn't like himself in the end,

what would be the purpose?

- I do not know. - It's useless, right?

It's about liking you.

And the only way you like yourself is when you do your best.

So, you have no regrets and no need for excuses.

Do your best.

Okay, folks. Line up.

Stay here.

As you all know,

our last fight of the year is coming,

and the next contestant is a monster.

So we're going to need the best from each of you.

But I have a question.

Does anyone here remember the last person in this school

who was immobilized by a Mustang?

Somebody?

Does anyone remember anyone who was once immobilized by Mustangs?

Exactly.

They were forgotten.

Now the question for you is:

Do you want to be forgotten like yesterday's losers?

Or remembered for winning, today?

Why can I give you positive reinforcement,

a stupid speech, about how you guys can be better than everyone else,

but the reality is,

some of you did better than others.

This is the pure and simple truth.

Some of you surprised me.

They know who they are.

I will wait one hundred percent.

From each of you or you will be out of this team.

It's understood?

- Yes sir! - Yes sir!

Good. One last thing.

We need someone to volunteer

to take Jeff's place.

We need someone around 77 pounds.

I'll.

Ortega, how much do you have?

Coach, I'm only 65.

Well, we need 77.

Somebody else?

I'm 80, coach.

I'm 76.

What the hell have you been eating?

Of everything.

Well, all right.

Looks like we're going to have a fight between Troy and Connelly.

Who immobilizes the other.

Takes Jeff's place and goes to the fight.

I was waiting for this.

Get to the floor real quick.

Come on, Mike. You can.

Mike, you can do it!

Troy, come on.

Shut him up, Mike.

Come on, Mike.

- Get him, Mike. - Come on, Troy.

Be careful with the head! Watch out for the header!

Let's go!

run away.

Come on! That's it, Mike!

We will! Catch him.

We will! Catch him.

Catch him!

We will! We will! We will! We will!

Well done, Mike!

That's it, Mike.

Troy, come on, honey.

Legal.

Legal.

What does this mat taste like?

Good job, young man.

We have a fighter.

- That's it, Mike! - That's it man.

Congratulations, Mike.

Nice man.

Hey! Sleeping Beauty!

Get up, it's morning.

Go away.

Five minutes, meet me in the garage.

I have something for you.

Five minutes, get up!

Let's go!

Did you like it?

It's pretty cool for a tricycle.

I don't think you need to wear a helmet.

So go get ready.

For what?

Wrestling training.

Oh really?

I think we'll start over.

OK! I'll get dressed!

I'll go with you, to the top of the hill.

- To the top of the hill? - That!

- I beat you. - Yea.

I owe you an apology.

Why?

For slapping you the other day.

I should never have done this.

And I say more.

I should never have stopped believing in you.

I saw you win.

Did you see?

Sim.

I saw.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks Dad.

You can.

Yes, you can.

Let's go.

That's right.

Another.

Did you see?

I am walking! Damn it.

Mike!

Congratulations, Jeff.

- I knew I could. - Thanks.

- Yes, TJ, yes. - Mike.

Hey, would you like to work here part time?

Same?

He's the right guy for the job. He is the Mike of Miracles.

Mike of Miracles.

I...

I do not know what to say. I...

Why don't you say yes?

Yea! Yea! Yes.

Let's go!

Do you eat this, man?

That's it, Jeff.

Is ready?

That's it, I'm ready.

AWARD OF STUDENTS CLASS 1985

...It's funny that wrestling can teach you so many lessons

about who you are, about life and stuff.

Why are there so many strengths,

so many necessary gifts that you have to master

to succeed in life.

That's why the faculty and I

we have agreed to present an entirely new award

for a very special student,

who showed us through his strength of character

and your tenacity, against all odds

that we can become better people.

He inspired us all,

but especially me to become a better person.

We're giving you the first Team Spirit Award

from Hillsborough School.

Michael Connelly, please come up and accept him.

That's it, Mike. Congratulations.

Thank you, coach.

No thanks to you.

Never,

never underestimate yourself.

You may feel isolated and different,

but use this difference

like a talent.

Make it your superpower.

Never judge another person for what they cannot do.

because what they can do...

what they can do may surprise you.

Mike! Mike! Mike!

- Wanna Dance? - Yea.

Excuse.

Can I interrupt?

Sim.

Clear.

You dance very well.

Thanks.

You, you too.

We should see a movie someday.

I would love.

DAY OF DECISIVE STRUGGLE

ACADEMIA LANGHORNE

seems

Hi Jeff.

The coach wants you.

Okay, just give me a second. I will finish with this.

When I first saw you.

You could barely make one.

Mike, you really worked hard to gain weight.

You really want to win a fight, don't you?

Sim.

More than anything.

I'll tell the coach to put him in instead of me.

It's your last chance.

Would you do that for me?

You are my friend, Mike. Of course!

if you had an idea

of how much it helped me to get back on the mat, I would understand.

Let's go now.

I know you can do this.

I'll talk to the coach.

He knows? It's not about winning or losing.

Now you're in.

And like everyone else, nothing else matters.

Win inside you.

Mike!

Mike!

Mike!

You have an extra challenge

because that cord is wrapped around your neck.

I believe you.

I want you to undo this cord.

Green, soon?

Right! Red, ready?

Get ready, boys.

Come on, Mike!

Go Mike!

Come on, Mike, come on.

Please!

Red, here.

Come on, Mike, come on.

Red, here.

Beware of sportsmanship.

Come on, Mike!

That!

A green dot. Come on.

Two red dots, continue.

End.

That.

A green dot.

Mike, Mike, Mike!

You can.

Two green dots.

Come on, you can.

A red dot, escape.

Come on, immobilize him!

Two red dots.

One green dot, escape.

Do not push me?

Give up!

Give up, you idiot.

- As you wish. - None of that, stop.

In position. We will.

Please.

Green, are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Yea.

Green, come on.

Green. Go there.

Red. Go there.

Soon, green?

Ready, red?

I'll end with you.

You can try.

Heads up.

Let's go.

Stay on the floor.

No!

Stay on the floor!

No!

Stay on the floor! - No!

Come on, stop.

Soon.

Enough, enough!

Give up.

Never!

Mike, Mike, Mike!
