    Great show and insight from the stars!
    Not sure how the other reviewers could rate this show so low. This was one of the best documentaries I've seen. The interviews with these athletes and the info is 2nd to none, especially the info from Gretzky. I have 3 sons and I'm going to ask them to watch it. I couldn't agree more that we have ruined creativity from the kids these days with everything so structured and specialized at an early age. Give this show a watch, you won't be disappointed and my be inspired like I was to do things differently.
