In sports, there are two kinds of competitors: the favorites--expected to win with speed, strength, and star power--and the underdogs who are overlooked, underestimated, and often dismissed. While the favorites capture our admiration, the underdogs capture our hearts.
Game Changers: Underdogs tells the stories of the athletes and teams who faced impossible odds and defiantly shouted, "Let's win anyway!" From shocking upsets to inspiring triumphs, these are the moments that remind us that determination, courage, and heart can defy expectations. In their struggles, we see our own, and in their victories, we find hope.
