I am very fond of watching Sports Movies whether they are Biographical or Documentary or simple Formula Driven movies. It's always fun to watch them as they are very motivational. Now, most of these movies have a very simple but endearing plot where an underdog individual/team goes through great hardship to reach the pinnacle of that sport.

This weekend while searching for a sports movie I came across a movie called "Rudy" it's a 1993 sports biographical drama based on a real-life character of Mr. Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger who harbors a dream of playing American football for Notre Dame University.

Now Rudy portrayed by Sean Astin (the guy who played Samwise The Brave in Lord of the Rings series) is a lad who is in every way substandard to play American football at the highest level. He is 5 foot 6 inches tall, less than 100 pounds in weight, doesn't have an athletic body nor is he a brilliant student but he still managed to obtain a degree, play for the best university in the state and continued to have a successful management career.

So what were those things that motivated a son of a mill worker to dream about playing for a university like Notre Dame? I think below were those values that helped Rudy to fulfill his dream and become successful.

Character- Rudy for 3 years was a part "scout team" the set of players who are in the team just to run opposition plays during practice so that the first team players (a group of 95 players with full scholarship) can tackle them and be made ready for the weekend game throughout the season. Rudy had the heart to get battered and bruised every day knowing very well that he will never be able to wear that golden helmet and come out of the tunnel with the team.

Courage- Rudy on his way to achieving his dream overcame numerous obstacles like not having enough grades, losing his best friend to a freak fire accident, having no place to sleep at night, working double shifts and studying. As said in the movie "Having dreams is what makes life tolerable", it was Rudy's courage that pushed him towards his dream at every step.

Contribution- Rudy always tried to achieve his dream (to play for the Fighting Irish) by contributing towards teams success in any which way possible by being a groundsman, being in the logistics team painting helmets or by being in scout team and getting tackled. He never thought his contribution was too little. He gave his all with all his might.

LAST YEAR'S SENSATIONAL LASTlap Daytona result seemed impossible to improve upon, but the 1993 race topped it in every way. Had the script been written as fiction, it could not have been more crammed with drama and plot shifts.

Timed practice, which grids riders for the Twin Fifty qualifying races, is a disaster for Lawson. His engine pushes out an internal oil gallery plug in the first session, and fails to complete the second session for unstated reasons. Lawson will start the second 50-tnile qualifier from the back: row 11, with 42 riders ahead of him.

In the first Twin Fifty, Russell and Mike Smith on the Commonwealth Honda RC30 get off first, with Smith appearing able to close. Is there life in the old RC30 yet? Behind them are four fast Kawasakis: the factory bikes of Takahiro Sohwa and Miguel DuHamel, then privateers Steve Crevier and Dale Quarterley on a Muzzy lease-a-racer. Russell splits on lap three, quickly pulling out 6 seconds. Quarterley and Sohwa then crash, both, fortunately, proving more durable than their bikes. Meanwhile, back in the garage area: Six laps into the first heat, Lawson's and teammate Cohn Edwards' bikes are still not together for the second Twin Fifty. Engine changes take time. Red herring plot element: Akira Yanagawa, on the new liquid-cooled Yosh Suzuki Superbike, equals the drive of DuHamel's Kawasaki on the back straight. Potential.

Polen, Picotte and Edwards lead the start. Lap one sees the two Ducatis drafting back and forth. A Yamaha stops. it is Edwards. With luck like this, can there be any hope fbr Lawson? Dark chords, drums roll menacingly:

The fairy-tale ending flickers out, though. Lawson's bike begins to vibrate, indication of a blistering rear tire. At high temperature on the bank ing, tire heating can cause volatile components of the tread rubber to boil, foaming and softening the rubber. A blistering tire slides and vibrates. He dives into the pits, where the prepared

Happy with Lawson's showing. V&H team owner Terry Vance says, "I don't think you become a four-time world champion without knowing what you're doing." Lawson is gra cious. "It was this thing," he says, indicating the bike. "I'm good on the straights."

Most Superbikes get 14 to 16 miles per gallon, and so will have to stop twice, generally around lap 19, and around lap 38. Just slowing down, stopping and accelerating again takes 15 seconds. A fuel stop adds 6 seconds to that, a tire change 12-25 seconds. The Ferracci Ducatis, apparently getting 18 or so mpg, can stop once-tires permitting. But Daytona, because of its high speed and the extra loading of its banked turns, is uniquely hard on tires.

Time to grid the 200. Shortly, the machines and riders are invisible in the dense crowd of people. Forty percent of the grid is Kawasakis, and, significantly, the next most numerous brand is Ducati, with nearly 20 percent. After the sighting lap, the returning machines alight momentarily to top off fuel tanks, then move out to their start positions.

Now comes a five-lap caution, caused by the fatal crash of long-time Ducati racer Jimmy Adamo (see sidebar, page 58). Behind the two leaders, the order is DuHamel (skillfully exploiting the caution), Aaron Slight on a Muzzy Kawasaki, Yanagawa on a Yosh Suzuki, Crevier on the Weld Rite Kawasaki, and Polen.

Now DuHamel and Slight have the lead to themselves, but give it up as they pit on lap 39. At this point, Kawasaki appears to have the race covered, with three solid chances to win. One of these green bikes will surely go the distance. Russell is leading again, by a bare 3 seconds from Lawson, who is 20-25 seconds ahead of DuHamel, Slight and Polen. But Lawson rides like an irresistible force, making time in the Chicane, and in the drive from it to the finish line, shooting high up the banking, using the drive down off it to get a deeper hold on sixth gear.

Lawson pits for the third time on lap 47, handing Russell a 35-second lead. Back up to speed, Lawson tucks-in small on even the short straights, racing hard all the time, assuming, like the good racer he is, that what fate takes from him on one lap, it might give back on the next.
