With a little extra time on our hands, and our athletes in need of some inspiration right now, I reached out to my community within the 'Gymnastics Growth Club' Facebook group for their recommendations of inspiring movies or documentaries to watch related to sport.
Here’s what they compiled! Thank you so much for all the contributions 🙂
(BTW, as much as I’d love to sit and watch all these movies, I can’t! and therefore can’t vouch for the quality or appropriateness of all of these suggestions, so please do your due diligence before passing on to young athletes.)
