COMMENTS ON "WINNING
ISN'T EVERYTHING"
ONE OF THE TOP 11 "MUST SEE" FILMS AMONG 135 FILMS SHOWN AT 2009 TACOMA FILM FESTIVAL
Winning Isn’t
Everything...is a...very well made documentary on the NCAA championship
women’s soccer program
at the University of North Carolina. You don’t have to be a
sports fan to enjoy [the] film because [it]... move[s]
well past the sport that anchors the film...
PHILIP COWAN
Executive Director, Tacoma Film Festival/Grand Cinema
My daughter Briana thanks you... she
is the HIgh School goalkeeper
...The team
watched it and played like a different team and they are still talking
about coach Anson
...it was
amazing how this inspirational story motivated these girls!

It's excellent...well
done!
ANSON DORRANCE
Head Coach UNC Women's Soccer
"Winning Isn't
Everything" is an insightful peek behind the curtain of this remarkable
sports dynasty.
As an author who reproduced Anson's speeches throughout my book, I
could only dream about the kind of emotional
response you can get through actually watching his work on
video. You could feel the power of the film in the
audience.
TIM CROTHERS
Author of The Man Watching, a
biography of Anson Dorrance
As the women's soccer
coach for a Division III college, I absolutely
loved your documentary.
The behind the scenes interaction of the team
and the inspirational strategies of the coaches was enlightening.
I
found your documentary to be entertaining, educational, and
motivational.
JIM WOODS
Virginia Women's Soccer Coach
I have all of Anson's
instructional DVD's so to get a 'behind the scenes' DVD is awesome...I
feel it is a
groundbreaking look at a program led by...the best sports coach ever.
STEVEN FRASER
Philadelphia Soccer Coach
I
am
always on the lookout for...anything I can use to teach my girls
what this whole soccer experience should be.
I am a big fan of
Anson's (in spite of the fact that I graduated from FSU...)
and
his coaching philosophy. He is a genius
at getting the maximum effort from his girls while teaching what
it is to be a good, productive human being.
The
video
is great......enjoyed it tremendously!!!!!!

Treasure Coast High School Women's Soccer Coach, Port St. Lucie, FL
I was messing around on the internet
and was looking for some sort of inspirational video to show my high
school girls team,
and came across this and thought i would give it a try. North
Carolina women's soccer is the best there is,
why not get a little more information on the top team in the land.

Mr. Kindem I received and watched the
video already 4
times... impressive!
Mr. Dorrance is simply a genius when it comes to female
soccer... I will recommend this DVD to our players.

I am a coach for a local U14
girls club team. I was seeking
something to enhance my limited coaching skills
and found quite an
inspirational story. Thank you for making it possible for us.

Hey Hap, I am a huge fan of UNC soccer (I drove down for the college cup, it was amazing)
and have been wanting to see Winning Isn't Everything for a while now. I just got it for Christmas and
it definitely exceeded all of my expectations.. thanks for all your hard work, you did a great job!
LAINE SCHMIDT
I have this video and it's just great. It's very inspirational!!!
Had goosebumps the whole way!
GABRIELLE DAVIS
The documentary does a
great job of giving an insider's view of
how our team works and why it's a
life-changing experience to play
for Carolina.

Defender
I teach at a local
high school and I am always looking for documentaries to study with my
students...
but I am also a coach and I showed it to my volleyball team and they
LOVED it. Inspiring, touching, and real.
EMILY ROBERTS

Yesterday my two high
school daughters brought home a sheet describing the
UNC Women's soccer team core values they had received from their
soccer coach.
I loved it and tried to find an electronic version via
google. That's where I came
upon your DVD. Am hoping to use it with several teams I am
involved with.
PETER LOPEZ
Richmond, MA
What does stand at the
forefront of "Winning Isn't Everything"...'is the extent to
which core values - taking responsibility, resilience, etc. -
motivated the athletics.
That's what makes the soccer program
so special.'
NEIL MORRIS
The Independent Weekly
I especially appreciated the behind the scenes footage you
were able to get...
For my purposes, it helped
shore up my background knowledge
of a team I'll likely be covering for
the next month.
