    • because it is a vivid true example that Sports are for all ages and that if you try and try hard you will be a winner.
      Remember that the most important thing is not necessarily winning but to take part and in so doing your best to become a winner and an example.

    • Love the historical flashbacks.

      In case you didn't know, Jose was away from training for nearly two decades. During his youth, he succeeded in more than 5 different sports: gymnastics, baseball, volleyball, body building, and weightlifing.

      A true champion!!!

    • One of the best short student doc.'s I've seen! Obviously there was hard work and care put into this. You definitely accomplished what you set out to do. I'm sure Mr. Postigo will be very pleased. Great job, guys!

    • I would place this "Short" along side any of the best that Current TV has to offer.
      Well done, to all who participated for the heart and soul it conveys.
