About The Last Whistle

In this film, Brad Leland plays an unforgiving, unsympathetic, impractical football coach who is looking to climb his way to the top of the crop with a chance to obtain a position as the head coach of one of the most prestigious universities in football. Coach Vick is so blinded by winning at all costs, he failed to notice his athletes suffering right in front of his eyes. When a member of his squad decides to show up late to a practice, the whole team had to pay the price – unfortunately one paid with his life. Benny, one of Coach Vick’s favourites, had an undiagnosed heart condition that led him to a fatal collapse while being forcefully punished for his slacking teammate.

The Last Whistle 's Relation To Sport Business

Athletes are often looked at from a physical component, but what happens when the mental aspect of the game becomes too tough? What happens when your body and your mind start to shut down? The Last Whistle brings the perfect amount of awareness to all things mental, physical and emotional when it comes to the task of being a coach and an athlete. When faced with the loss of her son, Benny’s mom files a lawsuit against Coach Vick – not to seek monetary value, but in hopes for him to never coach again. The traumatic experience leads to unforeseen instabilities amongst the team dynamic and Coach Vick’s future.
