OPINION
I loved this documentary series because it talks about the supposed losers, in a society in which personal and collective success is valued too much. In the eight episodes of the series its protagonists tell us about their failures as athletes and how that failure helped them to be better people.
Each one of them is an example of what it is to fight to reach the goal, regardless of success or failure, because they have realized that what is important is not to achieve success, but what is important is what is learned during the journey to achieve it, regardless of whether you get it or not.
The series begins with the story of Michael Bentt, a boxer who did not want to be a professional boxer, but who became a world champion, but that a KO caused brain damage, which forced him to leave boxing and from there changed his life because he found his true vocation as a film actor coach.
Another example is Aliy Zirkle, a dog sled runner, who has participated in the races of the prestigious Iditarod, Alaska's largest dog sled race and never won it. However, Aliy continues to participate since 2001 without missing any, because for her the race is a test of overcoming.
It's a documentary series to sit down and watch carefully because I'm sure we'll learn something.
