team called the Angels. The team has never won a single game, but with the help of former
football player and coach Mike Harris, they start to turn their season around. However, when
Katie, Mike's daughter, is diagnosed with cancer, the team's success is put in jeopardy. With the
help of angels, Katie begins to recover and the Angels win their first game. Mike is able to move
on from his wife's death, and he and Katie are happy together again. This heartwarming film is a
great way to inspire people to never give up on their dreams. After the death of his wife, Mike
Harris moves with his daughter, Katie, to Angels' Landing, a small town in California. Mike is a
former football player and coach, and Katie is a talented quarterback (
Bacon et al)
. The town is
home to the Angels, a football team that has never won a game. With Mike's help, the Angels
start to turn their season around. But when Katie is diagnosed with cancer, the team's success is

The movie begins with Mike Harris moving with his daughter, Katie, to Angels' a small
town of their dreams. The team has never won a single game, but with the help of former football
player and coach Mike Harris, they start to turn their season around. However, when Katie,
Mike's daughter, is diagnosed with cancer, the team's success is put in jeopardy. With the help of
angels, Katie begins to recover and the Angels win their first game (
Chu pg. 120)
. Mike is able to
move on from his wife's death, and he and Katie are happy together again. This heartwarming
film is a great way to inspire people to never give up on their dreams. Mike Harris coached the
Angels for 4 years after leaving his NFL career behind him in order to be with his daughter as
she dealt with her cancer diagnosis. He brings a wealth of football knowledge and experience to
the team, which helps them turn their season around. However, when Katie's cancer goes into
remission, the team's success is put in jeopardy. Mike is able to move on from his wife's death,
and he and Katie are happy together again. This heartwarming film shows that even if your
dreams seem impossible to achieve at first, never give up on them - it can eventually happen.
This movie will inspire people to never give up on their dreams, no matter what obstacles may
stand in their way. This film is about angels that assist a football team in winning games. The angels utilize
their talents to aid the squad win, for which the team is very thankful. This film illustrates the
significance of cooperation and how the power of collaboration can help individuals accomplish
their objectives. This film also serves as a reminder that we all have guardian angels looking over
us and that they are always willing to assist us in times of need. This is a film that will leave you
feeling upbeat and optimistic (
Griffo et al., pg. 205-215)
. Recommendable for individuals who
appreciate feel-good films that inspire reflection on the goodness of life. This film explores
friendship, collaboration, and the strength of religion. These themes are significant because they
demonstrate the importance of having friends and working towards a shared goal. The angels
also display the strength of faith by assisting the squad in defeating seemingly invincible
opponents. This film is a great reminder of the kindness in life and the ability we have to
accomplish our objectives, regardless of how difficult they may seem. Recommendable for
individuals who appreciate feel-good films that inspire reflection on the goodness of life.
The mental skills used in this movie are visualization, self-talk, and focus. Visualization
is when people picture what they want themselves doing something in their minds. Self-talk is
talking to yourself in a positive way to keep yourself motivated. Focus is keeping your mind on
the task at hand and not getting distracted. These mental skills help the players stay calm under
pressure and believe in themselves and their teammates (
Gilbourne et al., pg. 3-11)
. This is
important because it allows them to play their best and win the game. If they weren't able to do
these things, they would likely get discouraged and give up, which would lead to a loss for the
team. This is an important lesson for kids to learn and to remember when playing sports or any
other activity where they might be facing pressure. It is also an important life lesson for adults.
Staying calm under pressure can help you stay focused on the task at hand, which can lead to
success.
The movie Angels of the Endzone portrays both appropriate and inappropriate strategies
in developing mental skills. One of the inappropriate strategies is when the team's coach, Tony,
tries to motivate his team by telling them that they are not good enough and that they need to try
harder. This is not an effective way to motivate a team, and it is likely to lead to the team feeling
discouraged and less confident (
Cropley et al., pg. 125)
. A more effective way to motivate a team
would be to focus on their strengths and encourage them to use those strengths to achieve their
goals. Another inappropriate strategy is when the team's captain, Ryo, decides to try and save the
day by gambling on the final play of the game. This decision not only risks his own safety but
also risks losing the game for his team. A more appropriate strategy would be to focus on
