Opis

The Tri-Central High School football team was one of the worst-performing teams in Indiana. The program had difficulty recruiting enough boys to field a team, leaving school administrators on the verge of considering the unthinkable: closing the football program altogether.

Willing to give the team one last chance, the school hires George M. Gilbert, a recently fired coach looking for an opportunity to end his career on his own terms and with dignity. Where others saw a failing football program, Gilbert saw potential and opportunity. Five years later, the Tri-Central football team was playing for the Indiana State Championship in their division.

"Team of One: We Believe" is the remarkable story of the fifty-eight-year-old Gilbert and the young men he coaches to success. It's the story of how a school, a community, an incredible coaching staff, and a team come together to produce one of the greatest sports stories in Indiana high school history.

Join Coach Gilbert as he recounts this incredible journey-a true Hollywood-worthy underdog story in which one old coach and an ailing team demonstrate the power of character, perseverance, and teamwork.
