At the end of February, I had a bad concussion. I could not do much on those days so I ended up binge watching things on Netflix. During this time I leaned on sports shows to get me through my concussion. In watching these shows, I became more determined and more optimistic that life will continue to be good after I recovered from my concussion. So I have a top ten list of great sports shows/movies to get you motivated and out of gloomy day type of feeling. This list will go from 10-1. 10 being the bottom and 1 being the top.
