u.s olympic team

crowd goes wild yeah cookie dough's hot

tonight

hey robbie for a new kid you're pretty

stupid why are you hanging out with that

guy

don't you know his brother billy's a

[ __ ]

kurt's just as much to [ __ ] as his big

brother billy is

shut up just shut up make me

dude you just got beat up by kurt the

squirt shut up evan

squirt your dead man

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

uh

yeah the undefeated champion

boys get outside now

what's wrong with mom

i said get outside yes sir

[Music]

robbie did you know kurt had an older

brother

[Music]

you can say it the [ __ ] one

well

[Music]

billy lived with us until a couple

months ago

he started wandering into the street

causing public disturbances

so we had to

put him in a home

[Music]

kurt there's just no other way to say

this

billy

billy died this morning

you can't let your mom see you cry

she suffered enough already

if you boys could go upstairs and play

quietly for a while

it would be a very big help yes sir

[Music]

for i reckon that the sufferings of this

present time

are not worthy to be compared with the

glory that is to be revealed to us

and we know that god causes all things

to work together for good to those who

love god

to those who are called according to his

purpose

let us pray for as much as the spirit of

the departed has entered into the life

immortal we therefore commit his body

to its resting place

but his spirit we commend to god

in the name of the father and of the son

and of the holy spirit

go in peace

[Music]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

drunk how dare you how dare

you i only do this because i'm married

to a

selfish cold-hearted jerk like you

not this again don't even say it you're

pathetic

it's your fault we're stuck here in this

awful place instead of back home in

california

a thousand times marcy you knew we'd

always moved to dc once i made partner

it's a job on the hill there's nothing

pathetic about that

stop it not tonight

so you think you're so far above us all

do you kurt

well you're no better than your father

in fact you're around even less than he

is

at least he's finally making money all

you

do is play a stupid game all day

i don't have to take this crap

are you just gonna let him walk out like

that some kind of man you are

is

[Music]

[Music]

she's getting worse you know would it

kill you to be around a little more

look who's talking you're the only son

she has left

you don't think i know that

just make her proud okay it'll make

things a lot easier for the both of us

here we go

[Music]

[Applause]

oh

[Music]

over here guys

all right that's it for this season boys

we had this game right in our hands but

you lost concentration

for one split second

and it cost us the playoffs

hit the showers i'll see in a few

minutes

oh my god hey cochindoll

son i want to see you tomorrow morning

in my office

dad you're still here

glad you can make it i know i have been

working a lot son

and i'm sorry for that i just didn't

want to miss your last game

i just i can't believe we lost that game

i mean we were so close the whole time

if jerry

had made that shot

i don't want to think about it now you

know i don't know much about sports

and i'm not one to give advice when it's

not asked for but uh

well it seemed to me that jerry wasn't

to blame for missing that shot

you were you can't be serious

he totally had that shot i couldn't have

set him up better if i wanted to

again i know i don't know much about

sports

but i do know a little bit about success

i don't think you should have passed

that ball off the shot was yours to take

but jerry

is a much better shot than i am he's a

starter

there is one big difference between the

two of you jerry takes risks

he fails sometimes but a lot of times he

succeeds

kurt if you always pass the ball off to

someone else

and what i mean to say is that

if you don't shoot you won't ever score

i gotta go back that where to the gym

what for i got to start shooting

now for next season

kurt what's up what's up man how's it

going

seriously where are you i stayed after

the game to train

you know you really haven't changed a

bit since california what are you

talking about

i grew at least an entire foot since

then and

i don't know if you guys noticed but

i've been working out i noticed you were

looking good

you know what i mean he's still as

obsessed as ever man

hey guys hey i went ahead and ordered

you one

the brothers are taking care of

everything

um no thanks man i don't drink

wait then why are you gonna rush a

fraternity

what can i get for you uh i'll just have

a water please

you know what the sad thing is some of

these guys

show up to practice completely hung over

and they

still beat me i don't get it if you

can't beat them join them right

hmm here is your water

that'll put hair on the chest seriously

i can't believe you're actually drinking

water

do you do you want me to get you a

little sippy cup shut up

seriously i don't get it i mean i'm

working just as hard as ever

but no matter what i do these guys still

take it to me

beginning to think the man upstairs has

it out for me

you know maybe he has something better

for you than basketball

yes like soccer it is about time you

learn to play a real man's game

a real man's game look soccer is a hobby

okay it's not a sport i'm just gonna

outwork all those

guys

come on in son have a seat

kurt now that the season's over

i wanted to talk to you about our plans

for next year now know that you're a

hard worker

in fact you're the hardest worker i've

ever seen and i know how much you love

this game

that's why we gave you a shot in the

first place

but sometimes that's not enough i really

don't think you have the ability to play

at this level

what coaches this is about last night

it's not about last night this was a

bigger decision

i thought about this for a long time and

i don't want to make it

but i have to do what's best for this

program whatever it takes for me to

improve in the offseason

i'm gonna do it coach i want to be a

part of this team

have a lot of top recruits coming in

it's your lucky day

man all right where

right there nice head ben

now what's he doing here and what is he

wearing

you said we needed a goalkeeper not a

fashion model

besides you're the one who wanted to

play on the field instead of in goal

[Music]

do

[Music]

so

[Music]

dude bruce

it's a fraternity game

dad what are you doing here

i wanted to put my new camera to work

besides it's a nice day

the footage i've caught so far is pretty

conclusive

soccer just isn't your game

but at least you're having fun and

getting some exercise right

actually dad i feel like i'm getting a

hang of this

look you stay for the second half

unfortunately my lunch break is over

but i enjoyed watching you get scored on

six times

it was uh cute

thanks again for coming just let me know

when your next pickup basketball game is

and we'll see what this baby can do who

knows

maybe we can even send it to some

college coaches

it's ridiculous he doesn't know the

first thing about goalkeeping and now

he's starting to embarrass the entire

team

i'm just going to get my stuff bruce

relax why don't you step up and score

some goals

i'll mark flip who's flip

he's the guy who keeps scoring on you

he's the captain of the eagles soccer

team so don't take it too hard

last time we played the deltas they beat

us 12-0

they're the league champs but come on

man if i can play out there you can

yeah you said i couldn't play

that was warm up all right you just wait

just keep your eye on the ball come out

and challenge me

be aggressive and let them make the

mistakes you all right

yeah yeah okay enough fooling around

it's time to show them the old kaiken

doll magic

whatever you say

[Music]

[Music]

we're down six to one boys you're

[Music]

ridiculous

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

all right i know you feel like you got

shelled that first half

but a second half shown out your first

time a goal against this team

dude that's unbelievable thanks man

you aren't too shabby yourself

[Music]

hey baby thanks for coming to see me

play

hey kurt you did pretty well out there i

was impressed

thanks do you come to games often yeah

sure would uh never miss a chance to see

her man

score come on bruce you know i don't

like

when you joke about that kind of stuff

you know she's the virgin sherry

hey robbie am i gonna see you at church

tomorrow

yeah yeah of course yeah i wouldn't miss

it in fact uh

kurt here uh might be coming along too

with me uh to church right kurt

um you are

well that would be so great bruce won't

ever come

well yeah i i go to my own church all

the time but

yours sounded pretty cool so

i figured i would check it out

well i can't wait i will see you

tomorrow

jerry has a date with the sexiest man on

campus

come on baby

what was that man i just thought you

could use a little help

yeah well it better be worth it

dude come on you thought soccer was

boring remember

and now you're hooked come on just give

it a shot i'll pick you up at 8 30.

in the morning i'm sure he does go to

the early service so

uh fine if i go

i'll drive myself okay whatever thanks

man see you tomorrow

curt hey car you got a minute yeah

all right i know you're gonna think this

sounds crazy but i'm just gonna say it

what do you think about maybe trying out

for the school soccer team this fall

play for the eagles division one

college soccer are you insane i just got

rocked this morning okay the first half

does not count

honestly i've never seen royal talent

like that flip was pretty impressed too

when's the season start three months

seriously

just think how cool it could be i mean

bruce is lazy

slow and he thinks he owns this place i

would love

to see you take him down a notch wait

bruce is the starting goalkeeper

i thought he played striker nah he just

does that for the frat games to get a

break from the goal

he was all south last year okay all

right hold on

i can't beat that i look like an idiot

with your experience in college

basketball and with your crazy work

ethic and natural ability

i really think you could beat them out

we can even start training next week if

you want

you know i was 8th in state in

gymnastics for my high school too

would that help or that's one of those

things that you should

probably just keep to yourself just

think about it okay

i'm serious and you know i'm never

serious about anything

i don't know i might be transferring

next year to play ball somewhere else

hey thanks for bringing me out here had

a good time

just think about it

just think about it

good morning miss williams lovely sermon

today wasn't it

yeah it was so insightful

i just love me some jesus don't you

now i know i'm in church cause honey

you look like an angel

i'm so screwed

[Music]

you may be seated

no armor checking things out today's

teaching

is taken from proverbs 16 9.

the mind of the man plans his way but

the lord

directs his steps well i almost forgot

children sunday school teachers you're

dismissed

so glad you could make it i know i told

you before but you're pretty amazing and

gold yesterday

um i'm gonna get something to drink

good morning everybody i'm so glad to

see you all here today

does anyone know what this is

right well what can i use a glove for oh

i want to keep your hands warm here in

the snow

and you keep your hands not dirty when

you're gardening right

can i use this glove right now to dig in

the garden no

then what can i use it for now

a glove can be used for many things but

it was created to do

one thing

right now this glove is empty but

now the glove is full and can do what it

was created to do

[Music]

our lives are like this glove when we

try and do things on our own we're

empty inside but we let god

fill us our lives can be used for the

lord and we can do

anything for his glory oh

hey kurt did you need something uh

i was looking for the bathroom it's

right down the hall on the left

okay thanks i really had to go

[Music]

can you hear me

they say at that church that if i give

you my life

you'll fix it

i don't have much to give

but i do have this

this is all i've got

[Music]

you can have it

this is my life take it

but please just give me a sign that i'm

on the right path

[Music]

mmm

[Music]

hey dad ah glad you could make it son

we only have a few minutes to go over

these transfer applications before that

shipping bill comes to a vote

let's talk about where you want to

transfer i think i found a few schools

close by that would be just perfect dad

you're gonna think this is nuts

but i'm gonna stay

at least for one more semester but what

about your athletics

well that's just it i'm thinking about

trying out for the school soccer team

this summer

what that's the most outrageous idea i

have ever heard

i knew you'd think it was crazy get your

head out of the clouds kurt

this is reality not some

half-cocked irresponsible foolish idea

about

trying to make it in a sport you've

never even played before dad i'm serious

and i have played before you remember

that game with the frat team

some of those guys thought i was pretty

good i saw you in that frat game

quite frankly if i had known you were

actually taking it seriously out there

i would have been a bit embarrassed come

on that was just the first half

once i caught on i really started to do

well

i really think i have a shot at this

come on kurt no one just walks onto a

college team after only a

few months of playing a sport that's

stupid

just one more semester

i'll even help out with mom a little

more

fine it's your life you want to ruin it

go ahead

i don't have time for any more of this

nonsense

i've got to go take care of my real job

in the real world

maybe i can get you an internship on the

hill or something

i'll open up

it's kurt open up man gotta get going

wake up sunshine let's go

there he is let's go if i'm going to

have a shot at this we got to start now

shut dude

i'm a little early for that what are you

talking about

my shots are shot

as in a chance at making the team you

said you thought i could do it right

yeah i did i mean

what i meant to say and you said we

start training this week

remember did i yeah

well if i did i not

mean at

six in the morning come on man where's

your dedication

seriously let's go all right all right

just give me a minute all right hurry up

[Music]

[Music]

hey excuse me

you guys need a goalkeeper nah man we're

[Music]

good man

you guys need a goalkeeper nah man we're

in the middle of a game

hey you need a goalkeeper yeah man take

[Music]

over

this is

is

[Music]

if we really believe that there is a god

if we really believe that there is a

heaven and a hell

then we'll stop living our lives for our

own glory

and live for the glory of the lord it is

only then

that we will be able to push through our

trials

push through our pain and realize that

just as jesus laid down his life for us

in the end none of our suffering will be

worthy

to be compared to the magnificent glory

that is to be revealed to us

are you ready for the big day yeah

okay let's go

[Music]

kurt i don't think you're ready yet

what are you talking about you need a

pair of these

thanks man this means more to me than

you'll ever know

heard he was boozing up all summer long

walter mason with the u.s olympic

committee great play out there tonight

all mine

when coach ryan asked me to come here

tonight i didn't think someone who had

played soccer for less than three years

could

possibly play at this level but now i'm

a believer

on the basis of this game and your

shutout record this year

i'm recommending you for all-american

wow uh

like you to try out for the us olympic

weeks

[Music]

way to go mr all-american

this isn't exactly how i planned it

do you try and plan everything in your

life i used to

things were so crazy at home it was nice

to have at least something planned out

you know

what about you i mean what brought you

to school

well i was at tech but i got really

homesick

you mean you actually missed your family

yeah

we're really close

but i left for another reason

i kind of followed my boyfriend

bruce let's not talk about him right now

yeah whatever happened between you two

[Music]

look i'm sorry for bringing it up i just

want to know

it's simple really long distance was one

thing

but being together all the time

made me realize that we didn't want the

same things in life

like what everything

marriage family lots of kids

faith i didn't want to spend all my time

waiting and hoping that he'd suddenly

change

[Music]

you you had lint on your shirt

[Music]

oh no you're right didn't that make

sense

thank you it's always good to be on the

same page

especially about things that matter

like soccer

um i i completely forgot to tell him

about the olympic trial

ambulance

the bearer of bad news

you have a fractured ankle

so we're gonna put you in a cast give

you some crutches and you should be able

to go home

well how long are we talking here about

six to eight weeks

and that's a conservative estimate six

to eight weeks

no no i'm sorry i've got olympic tryouts

this weekend

olympic tryouts yeah for soccer they

just asked me to try out for the team

well you're gonna need to call your

coach you won't be attending any olympic

tryouts this weekend

at least not on the field anyway it's

gonna be a good two months before you

even get the cast off

let alone play any soccer i'm sorry

that's just the way it is

well i will be back in a minute the

nurse is going to come in and get you

set up for your cast

we are going to need to reposition that

ankle so

prepare yourself might be a rough

afternoon

can i help you i'm here to see kurt is

he in

he's in but he's not seeing anyone

i i'm sorry i'm not trying to be a

bother um

i'm sure he's mentioned me before i'm

sherry

his girlfriend i just spoke to him on

the phone

well never told me he had a girlfriend

now is not a good time mom who is it

it's nothing honey

just some girl

sherry hey it's okay mom

all right we're just gonna go for a walk

a walk kurt what about your ankle and i

need you to stay home more

be back later mom fine but don't expect

me to be waiting up for you

now you see why we never hang out at my

[Music]

house

[Music]

[Music]

what are you going to do now

i don't know my dad thinks that i should

just forget soccer

and get a real job

i'm starting to think he's got a point

kurt it's a broken ankle why would you

even talk about quitting

there's no way you can give up now sure

there is kurt you cannot

quit believe me i don't want to

which is why i need you by my side okay

now more than ever i'm with you no

matter what

you know that all i mean is that

i thought you're the kind of guy who

finishes what you start

and if a stupid broken ankle is going to

make you give up sure that's enough

no it's not enough the kurt i know

wouldn't even talk about quitting

the kurt i know wouldn't give up even

though everyone said it couldn't be done

he believed he was made to do something

bigger than himself

and has the guts to pursue that dream

if you quit now then they were right

about you

you're just like everyone else

[Music]

hurt

look at me i don't care

if you're a broken down has been athlete

or president of the united states i love

you for the man you are today

right now and i love you for the man you

will be tomorrow

you

with congressman baker at the end of

summer

when

august 25th if the church is free

well this is not a decision to be

entered into lightly

no sir sherry's parents have already

given their blessing

how do you plan to provide for a family

about that

this came in the mail today

and it seems that they found a new

olympic coach

they're retrying out the entire team oh

kurt not soccer again

look where all that olympic talk got you

last time my old coach

you know coach ryan he put in a good

word for me

they want me to come to tryouts this

fall and

going pro

will you stop it with the olympics

already kurt get your head out of the

clouds

how can you possibly get married and

stay married if you don't have a real

job

soccer so much

[Music]

today

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

as it all might seem

[Music]

is

[Music]

i grew up in a christian home and i

always

thought that i was a christian i did um

in eighth grade go through my catechism

class and publicly confess

jesus as my lord and savior in front of

the congregation

and i truly believed it with all my

heart

when i went through high school i'd say

i became a bit more worldly

and wanted to fit in with the rest of

the

students and when i went off to college

though

that was the chance to really see that

my life

wasn't quite centered on god it was

centered on myself and that i was on the

throne

not jesus christ and that is when

i realized that i was missing a personal

relationship with jesus

i grew up as a little boy in and out of

church you know we went to different

denominations

i actually went through the catechism of

the anglican church

and became an acolyte but i never met

jesus through the process

my idol which was sports god

allowed that to crash when i was cut off

the high school basketball team

and and then cut again off my uh my

college team

to redirect my life and it was it was

because of that that in october

of 1969

that before going to bed i

got down on my knees and i said jesus if

you're real

come into my life forgive me

and see if you can do something with me

and you know my life changed for that at

that point

and it's never been the same he has been

there you know

all along

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
