Plot Summary

Phil Weston is a goodhearted loser who suffered throughout his childhood from his competitive overbearing sports-coach father, which has resulted in him inheriting that attitude, which affects his relationship with his less-than-athletic son. When he becomes coach of his son's soccer team, which has a poor track record, he strives to beat a rival team coached by none other than his father. Written by Tom Daly
