1000 against 1
Based on a true story
What is the probability? Is our life a part a big puzzle?
Is everyone waiting a little bit until someone makes us into a whole?
Is life a series of coincidences or is there more?
Hey, Cory.
You'd better take it a little bit slower, big guy.
You breathe pretty heavily, < br /> you become older and older.
- I'll show you old. Come on. - I'll make it easier this time. </ P>
- That was no mistake. - Stop blocking. </ P>
Blocks? No, it was not a mistake. </ P>
You call that every game. </ P>
Do you know what blocks are? Every ball loss calls you foul game. </ P>
Ach wat, je begrijpt het niet.
- My game! Again? - No, I have to learn. </ P>
Learning is taking place here. -I have to start learning. </ P>
- Teacher present? - Exactly, I'll see you. </ P>
Coach. -Pops. </ P>
Hey, Coach. Hey. </ P>
Nice , Weissman! Relax, loose shoulders. </ P>
Throw it once? </ P>
It's all in the knees. </ P>
What shall I say, /> those who can not coach it.
You're doing well. Good shot and defensive over the whole floor. </ P>
That I do not want to play with you will not say that I do not observe you. </ P>
There are three guests graduating this year. If you continue like this
as you play now you have a chance to start next season as point-guard .
Coach, I do not want something that I have not earned myself.
You have a thousand points in your school career. I think you've already earned it.
Bend your knees.
- How is he, David? - Cory, good to see you.
- I've heard you're doing great things. - I'll try that anyway.
Two Margherita pieces for the sweetest girl in the school.
Thank you, Cory. Very nice. You went through that whole party,
- for me, you're the best friend ever. - Sorry. I'm just...
... nervous for that presentation. </ P>
Lot or free will? "Romeo and Juliet". </ P>
Seven to nine pages a month for Monday, and I can not even get around. </ P>
If you have ideas...
- Romeo is the man, anyway ? - Cute.
Maybe this situation can go two ways.
Like this year in the team, with me.
- You know I'm a competitive person? - A little.
That last year student, which starts at my position. He's really good. </ P>
That is, I'm sitting on the couch for the first time in my life. </ P>
I can get through this fateful event in the pit,
or I can use this motivation to work harder.
I do not know anything about Romeo and Juliet, but what I do know is...
that the way you react to something is as important as what happens to you.
Wow. Cory that was actually very helpful. </ P>
Thank you. </ P>
That was sweet. </ P>
- My turn. I'm looking for more. - Sorry. </ P>
- Nee, het is niets. - Met extra Kaas? Of peperoni.
The idea of an expanding universe gives you the idea
that galaxies are further floating out in space.
Now, however, it is thought that that the galaxies do not move
But that space between them is getting bigger.
I can see from the facial expressions that some of you completely confused.
Our time is over. Do not be worried, Thursday everything will be clear. </ P>
Good. Good. </ P>
Good. Come on. </ P>
Do you want your tutu now or later? Lifting! </ P>
You would like to see me in a skirt, it is not. </ P>
- Good work. - Thank you. </ P>
What's next?
Do you and Ally have plans? We thought to go to Kristin tonight.
Maybe afterwards some bench presses. </ p >
What do you think?
- From what? - From tonight, crazy.
Sorry. I think I was daydreaming. </ P>
- Are you okay? - Yes. </ P>
- For sure. - I I've had headaches since this afternoon.
- Why do not you ask Kathy for an aspirin. - No, it's okay.
- Hey, I think this weight is stuck. - What?
This weight seems to be stuck.
What are you talking about?
You do not look so good, chap.
It's like someone stabs me with knives in my head.
We're going to get some water.
- Is it going? - Yes, it's okay, I...
- What's up with me, Pops? - I do not know. Let's go to Katie. </ P>
Sit on me. </ P>
I've got you. </ P>
We zijn er bijna. Coach! Katie!
- What happened? - I do not know. We were training. </ P>
Put him on the couch. Cory, can you tell me what's wrong? </ P>
Head hurts. </ P>
Can you pinch my hand, Cory?
Okay try again with your left hand.
Can you laugh at me?
- Oh dear. - Lie down. Everything will be fine. </ P>
This is George Petrie from Gettysburg College. </ P>
We need an ambulance at the gym. </ P>
- I think a student has a stroke. - What? </ P>
- His name is Cory Weissman. - Can you tell me which day it is? </ P>
The left side is not responding.
- It's okay, right? - You've done well.
What about z & apos; n parents?
Day treasure. I'm jogging and at half past five I have a client. </ P>
Mrs. Weissman, Brendan here. </ P>
Hey, Pops. Where is Cory? </ P>
Is everything alright? </ P>
We where weightlifting in the gym and...
Hi, Mrs. Weissmann, Katie Whaley here. I'm an assistant sports trainer at Gettysburg. </ P>
We do not know with certainty. But it looks like Cory had a stroke. </ P>
Where is he? </ P>
The ambulance just left for the Hershey hospital.
FIRST AID
- Thank you for coming to coach. - what's going on, can we see him?
He's a room 206. I'll get the doctor. </ P>
- Hey, honey. - Hey, mom. </ P>
Het spijt me.
It is a Subarachnoid hematoma caused by an Arterio-Venous malformation in Cory's brain.
AVM, which is torn.
We have a medical background .
The large amount of blood from the bleeding is the cause of the stroke.
And unfortunately it still bleeds.
And you can do not stop what means that the brain is swollen.
We can not do anything until it is stabilized by itself.
And if it is not it stabilizes itself, what then?
The good news is that he is young and has an excellent condition.
That is exactly what I am doing tell patients, if their children have problems.
You have to be honest.
Right now we can not be sure that he will be the night survives.
Hey. Hey.
- How late is it? - It's late.
They've prepared a room, where we can sleep.
He is in good hands.
I can see that he is fighting, but he can not do it alone.
He needs us.
Although I have to sit here 24 hours a day and not sleep for a whole week.
I'm here when he wakes up.
Whatever happens, we do not allow this to beat Cory.
What the...?
Come on!
p>
What is happening?
Bleeding causes more pressure on the brain.
- We must give Mannitol. - What is Mannitol? ?
If it does not stabilize, we must operate it.
Let's go. Give them some space to work. Come on. </ P>
We do not have to operate. The danger is not over yet, but the situation is better. </ P>
Cory. Can you hear me? </ P>
Vital features look good. We just have to wait. </ P>
Can you tell us tell where you are?
Hey, boy. Hey.
- Still change? - He's still unconscious.
Still no reaction. </ P>
Hey, big brother here. </ P>
How are you, dude? </ P>
Where have you been? </ P>
I brought lunch for Pa and Ma. </ P>
Did you bring me a chocolate milkshake? </ P>
- What day is it? - Monday.
- What is your brother's name? - Jeremy.
Where are you going to study?
Harvard.
Stanford.
Gettysburg?
The whole team has signed signatures.
Pops and Coach have brought it. </ P>
You are lucky, that you have so many friends who care about you. </ P>
Do I really have to go to a rehabilitation center?
You have a long way to go, boy.
- Can not I just practice at home? - It's only a month, more or less.
Depends on how quickly you recover.
Can you call the nurse for me?
Oh... I'll do it.
- What do you mean? - I'll help. </ P>
I always helped Grandpa. Move your weight. To the left. </ P>
- To the left? - The other links. </ P>
- For sure, what you do? - I have it. Let me...
Het spijt me. Ben je oké?
You dropped me on the side that feels pain.
- What happened? - That's not how you treat a stroke patient, anyway.
Yep.
Thank you.
What a fun.
How is it? Does it hurt? </ P>
From time to time. Sometimes it looks like I'm carrying a half dead body. </ P>
Not... do not look at me like this. </ P>
- How? - As if you feel sorry with me.
- I feel sorry for you. - Yes, but I'm going to beat this.
Clear? Come here. </ P>
That felt good. On the right. </ P>
Northwright is one of the best rehabilitation centers in the country. </ P>
We have advanced treatment methods, provide patients with spinal cord injuries,
hoofdletsel en beroertes.
In the beginning it's all a bit overwhelming but you get used to it quickly.
Let's have a look at your room.
We'll make you 7:00 awake for breakfast. </ P>
Then you have six times a day therapy. </ P>
- So we start tomorrow? - How do you mean "we"?
- I studied physiotherapy. - Maybe, but...
With all due respect, he might be your patient, but he is my son .
I have motivated him for 19 years and am not planning to stop now.
- There is no point in talking. - Yes, faith us.
This is a good center. They will help us overcome this.
I'm broke.
and tomorrow morning I have some appointments, so...
I'll be right. There is still something I want to read. </ P>
Moeder Beer.
Okay. I leave early in the morning. I'll see you tomorrow in the afternoon. </ P>
I love you. Do not stay up late. </ P>
- Come here. Show Dad how it should be. - Okay, one more time. </ P>
Good. Go to the Basket. Shoot! </ P>
- Scored! - Yes, Cory! </ P>
Hands wide. Nice posture, Cory.
Good. Block me. </ P>
- In your face. - Yes, son. </ P>
That's m & apos; n boy. </ P>
Push and pull back.
Push. Good. </ P>
You're using your right arm, but the left arm is learning. </ P>
This is the hardest part, what I had to do. </ P>
Like my brain and body speak two different languages.
Good.
I have to learn everything all over again.
The hardest thing is to keep my thoughts clear with all those medications.
Move your weight to your left foot.
But I'll do everything do what is necessary, to play basketball again.
Although it sometimes seems that this will take a long time.
That's math for the kindergarten.
Can you solve it?
This is just crazy.
- Maybe if you're trying to concentrate... - Maybe you should just do it. </ P>
I'm sorry. </ P>
I'll do it. I'll be fine, thank you. </ P>
I bale that you should see me like that.
Cory
- I do not care. - I do not even know what I'm doing here.
I do not believe in coincidence. Everything happens for a reason.
What is the reason for such a thing?
It just happened. There is no reason.
You just have bad luck.
Weight on the left.
Continue , go on until the end.
- Come on, you can do this. - I'm doing my best, mom.
Only sometimes it all seems...
I need a break.
All right with you, Cory? What's going on?
To the left, come on, put pressure.
Upright. And right. </ P>
- How are you doing? Well, well,
but I think we're walking up against a wall. </ P>
Okay, in the wheelchair, we're going outside.
- What do you mean? - Time for a small alternative therapy.
Mom, what are you doing? This is stupid.
Since you could crawl, you want to throw yourself with a basketball.
I do not want to throw, /> because I can not.
- You do not know. - Look, I really appreciate this.
But, can you take me back to the hospital?
I never doubt your mother. </ P>
If you make it, you'll get a chocolate milkshake from me. </ P>
I'm here anyway. </ P>
Let's try it. </ P>
- Do you have it? - Yes. </ P>
You can do it. </ P>
- He still has it. - Double or nothing?
- Good shot. - Camera running?
Let's see how you do it, when someone gets in the way.
- Beautiful. - Aim and follow.
Bend your knees.
- Right below. - Okay! </ P>
- This is therapy. </ P>
Take that boy away from me. He's a zombie. </ P>
Where are you going ?
- Soon before Sarah returns. - Oh my god.
Let's go to the cafeteria or something.
I think it feels better.
- This is great. - Is that so?
Yes, look at the tension of that muscle. Really good, Cory.
- It's coming back, unbelievable. - It's the wrong leg.
I am cured. Look, everything works again!
Turn off the camera.
I need another brain surgery undergo, to completely remove the AVM.
But every time I start to feel self-pity again
I think of all those people who have < br /> have gotten a lot worse.
Maybe I should not think so much about myself and more about them.
Hello. Is this place free? </ P>
Please. </ P>
So you like chess? </ P>
Yes, it's not Backgammon, but...
- I'm Cory. - Ed Welch.
Nice to meet you, Ed.
- Why do not you start. - Charity?
Why are you here?
I had a stroke.
- At your age? Is that legal? - I do not think so. </ P>
It happened during basketball training. </ P>
Totally unexpected. </ P>
I also played basketball, When the pants were still short.
- I played guard . - Me too, at Gettysburg College.
Who Is it his turn?
- I can not remember. - Neither can I.
Brain damage makes life interesting. </ p >
Indeed.
This time you have to concentrate, Ed.
You start this time.
After the operation, I'll go five < br /> try to do my best once.
I'm going to work on throwing 500 shots a day.
I know. No doubt.
Well, I...
I'll see you when I wake up.
- I love you. - I love you.
Please. One medium citizen.
- Thank you, Mr. Weissman. - There is more to hear.
- You need a Rap name for that headscarf. - Cory & apos; s AVM.
What is going to happen now?
This summer therapy and then back to school.
And then I will do my best to get back on the team again.
Did the doctor say that this is really possible?
She did not say that it would not be possible.
I also get a special permit, when I'm discharged from the hospital.
- With a disabled parking card. - Beautiful. Free parking. </ P>
- What's that? - Amy Powers is holding her birthday in the new tent. </ P>
- sounds nice. Would you like to go? - No, I can not. </ P>
- Go ahead. - Okay. </ P>
Go on. It sounds nice. </ P>
No, just leave. Let's eat something. </ P>
Okay. </ P>
What are you looking at? </ P>
Is this really what you do all day?
Eat, sleep and wait until someone comes home?
Is that all?
No secret dogs spill things out when no one is watching?
Are you running a spy agency?
Are you sliding into the drinks cupboard if nobody is looking?
I feel like you can talk.
So if you're not rehabilitating, do you hang around here all day?
You make it sound dull. I mean, the post is coming,
sometimes, the phone rings.
And, when are you going? reduce medication use?
And then no legal parties anymore? No, they can not do that.
At least not yet.
- Who is it? -Kylie. </ P>
- They come together for a volleyball tournament. - Nice. </ P>
It... seems nice to me.
- Can you come too? - No.
I can not go. I have to rest.
I want you here not only let it.
It does not matter. I need some time
to put m & apos; n baseball cards in alphabetical order.
What, huh?
I'm kidding.
What's up?
I'm so sorry.
Ik wil niet zo iemand zijn.
What kind of person?
Someone who can not handle this.
Someone who is so selfish and just thinks
how difficult it is to have a friend with a disability.
I want to be the one who is on your side
who is in for and against waiting for you.
Everyone is admiring it for her sacrifice.
But I am not.
How much I like it would also like to be, I am not.
And so...?
Are you doing it?
Is that what you means?
Who should I be?
The person who says, of course, does not matter?
- No. - Do you have any idea what I've been through? </ P>
- Ik heb niks gedaan om dit te verdienen. - Ik weet het.
I have to fight for everything. Fighting for my strength.
Fighting for my memory, fighting for basketball.
And I'm going to win. I'm going to win!
But my girlfriend can not even wait a few months until I'm better.
You can not wait that long. <br / Is that fair? </ P>
It is not. </ P>
And you do not deserve it. I'm so sorry. </ P>
Ha, dude.
- Is everything right? - I have to take this driving test.
- Sure, if the therapist gives permission. - Actually, now.
p>
If I'm only here in this house for longer, I'll go crazy.
Slightly slower, the ink on your driving license is still wet.
- You are allowed here 45, I drive 35. - Do me a favor.
You're doing the same now. I've actually thought a lot about grandmother.
It's been two years ago and I still miss her every day.
I always wonder if it's out there,
about us, or something. </ P>
I know what you mean. </ P>
Sometimes I would swear that she is sitting next to me. </ P>
Even inside me. </ P>
When I got my stroke, I did not see white light, or something like that, but...
I could feel she was with me.
- Why are you going here? - There's less traffic here. </ p >
I think about going back to school.
- In the spring you can go to school. - Not in the spring, but within a few weeks.
See how far I've progressed.
- I can now drive to school myself. - One step at a time.
I've already spoken to the Dean. The school supports me a hundred...
- Mom? - On the side.
- Mam. </ P>
You have an attack. </ P>
Do not worry, darling. </ P>
It's okay. </ P> p>
You have an attack.
- Mam! - It's over.
It's okay.
During the recovering from the second operation, your nerves make new abnormal connections,
that can cause epileptic seizures. As you have experienced.
- Will there be more come? - Very probably.
- Could anticonvulsant help? - Is there a medicine-free way?
You need stressful situations and large /> avoid quantities of sensory information.
- Maybe not back to school yet. - I'm going back to school.
- Is that a good idea? - I recommend to continue therapy at home for the time being.
There it is easier to follow the situation.
We can reassess everything in the spring.
The final decision is however yours and your family.
- ATO, come here we. - ATO.
- Is that kid, Sundance , still in school? - There is still one.
That guy is crazy. I think I'll get money from him. </ P>
Wait, Cory. Let me help you. </ P>
It works . Thanks a lot.
Three and a half hours, Pops. Hopefully you have some good music.
I think I myself I'm going to sing all the way.
- Was that it? - Yep.
- You're strong, kid. - I'll miss you.
Mam...
Not... do not cry.
Easy for you to say that.
Thanks to you, I've come this far. You did that.
You must let me go , anyway. If I do not succeed, then...
- What else. Then I'll be back home. - You'll be fine. </ P>
Thank you. </ P>
Thanks to you...
- I like you. - Yes, I love you too.
Pops! On to school. </ P>
SECOND YEAR
Weissman, look now. You still have it. </ P>
This is nothing, coach. < br /> Wait until I get back.
One step at a time. That's rehabilitation.
I do not mean rehabilitation.
- I mean the moment I return to the team. - Cory, you know I'll always support you. </ P>
I know that it's still a bit premature,
But I'm making a lot of progress. I'll be back soon.
Do you know why I really wanted you on the team?
Because of my good looks?
Because you are one of those players who walk through walls if necessary.
See how you deal with your accident. Many would have already given up.
But not you. That's why I love you, as a player,
and as a person.
As basketball would only be about perseverance, a shoe would be named after you.
But we both know that at this level, basketball is a tough, physical and mean game.
If you do not have the means to compete, it does not matter how big your heart is.
I'm honest with you, because I respect you as a man.
I know how much you want to return.
- I wish you'd come back again. - Coach.
I scored a thousand points in high school.
I'm going my school does not end with zero points.
Okay, maybe not this year. But next year!
Coach. I have to be part from the team.
I will do whatever it takes.
We need someone to keep track of statistics and assist with exercises.
Yes, I will do that.
- But I'm going to play again, coach. - Okay.
Here, Monday, 5 PM. Come on time.
Okay, Coach.
And I'm going to score as well.
That kid is ruining the whole party.
Yes, not normal.
Very funny. Very funny. You are hilarious. </ P>
Laten we beginnen. Twee rijen.
Are you going to fill the water bottles.
Show me what you have.
Hit the line!
- Set that time! - Okay guys, pace! </ P>
Come on! </ P>
Hit the line! </ P>
Who's first? </ P>
Okay, water break.
Worked well. Nice pace, man.
I would do everything right now, to swap places with you.
Well done, man. Well done.
Which classes do you follow?
Sociology, kinesiology and linear algebra.
< You're not kidding to do the complete selection.
I'm really excited.
- Work hard or go home. - Pops wants home.
- See you later. - See you later.
Klas, ik wil dat jullie de stof over het spiercelvezels goed begrijpen.
Muscle cells consist of myofibril.
Each myofibril consists of hundreds of sarcomeras
that lie behind each other.
As the muscle contracts, < br /> shrink the sarcomeres...
... because of the side effects of the myosin fungus threads.
Now take the text I gave you.
p>
and then we take a few notes.
- I'll make you. - Please boy, let me win computers.
- Let's win ? - You only throw 80 percent, that's a problem.
- You're the problem. - What?
Last week you were bad at this game, now you play badly and probably play again next week.
Okay. Do you want to tell me what you're bothering? </ P>
Nothing. Play it now. </ P>
I need to invent it through a list in the locker room?
You start as point-guard , dude.
That's man. Congratulations.
I did not know how you would understand it.
I'm happy for you.
- Need help ? - No, I'll be fine.
Cory! Is everything alright? </ P>
Oh, my God. Are you okay? </ P>
Is it? Let me help you. </ P>
- I'm fine! - Let me help you. </ P>
Sit down. </ P>
- Guest - It's okay, dude. </ P>
I've cried only three times in my whole life. </ P>
And the last eight months...
I do not know what's going on with me. </ P>
You've always been better than me, Cory. </ P>
Pops... Dat hoef je niet te zeggen.
Yes, because it's true.
That does not mean that I have to be an acorn
thinking you're in my place in the team.
You're just a man.
I mean... It's all getting better, right?
- Sure, man. - In the end, that must be. </ P>
Have you ever considered, talking to someone? </ P>
The only time that I've ever done something like this during rehabilitation.
There was one such a therapist who thought I would make myself out of the way.
The only time I considered that was at the moment that the guy was talking to me. </ P>
Should I talk about my childhood or something? </ P>
I do not think we should go back to your childhood.
What brought you here today?
I had a stroke last year. And I just started school again.
I was really excited.
I was happy to have my life back on track again.
It's actually harder than I expected.
- Why? - According to the doctors have not fully recovered my brain
yet, so I get tired quickly.
I can not learn.
I'm tense. Really tense.
I can not...
I've never been depressed before.
So you think the stroke is the cause of the depression?
It is said that therapists only ask questions.
- We are a curious people. < br /> - Everyone tells me,
that I take too much hay on my fork.
I just want to go back to what it was like as soon as possible.
- Why the hurry? - When I was 13, I broke my leg at football.
A boy tackled me from behind. It was a complicated fracture.
It looked bad. The doctor said that the recovery would take half a year. </ P>
and eight months, before I could play again. </ P>
After four months I did < br /> join a tournament again.
I set a goal, and reached that goal.
- What are your goals now? - Return on the basketball court.
So you want to be the same Cory as before your stroke.
Yes.
And that will work. </ p >
THIRD YEAR
Right there. You see? That's a lot better. </ P>
That feels good. Unbelievable. </ P>
Pardon. Hoi.
- I'm Cory. - I'm being treated to my ankle.
Yes, I can see that. Does that mean I can not know your name? </ p >
- I'm Jess. - Nice to meet you, Jess.
Are you new here? I have not seen you here yet.
I am a first-year student.
- Welcome to Gettysburg. - Cory, this is not the time.
You should know that I am /> do not try to decorate.
I am a third year student. We must welcome the new welcome.
So it is my duty.
The school will certainly appreciate your sacrifice.
That is certainly appreciated. They all call me a doer here, right?
Among others. </ p >
I've sprained my ankle. And that's what bals me.
- I can not move properly. - I know the feeling.
Believe me, it's bales.
What about you, Mr. the doer?
I also have a sore ankle.
< It really hurts. We have something in common.
- Keep working on it. - I'll do.
- It was nice to you meet. - Bye.
- Your ankle! - It hurts from time to time.
Really.
Listen ! Brand new year boys.
Last season has been!
The future is ours!
I think I'm my speech should be revised.
- Looks good, Cory. - 500 shots a day takes care of that.
Let's start then. Form the rows.
Where are you going?
- Filling water bottles - I told the team to create rows.
Come on!
p>
Yes, you are Pop & apos; s size.
Give it a try.
No.
I'm waiting for it to happen. use in a match.
It looks good.
Yes, sure.
- Hey Sundance? Well played today. - Thank you. </ P>
That was great? How is the company? </ P>
Not Bad. </ P>
- The new girls are coming soon. - Okay. </ P>
So you like basketball? </ P>
I'll be right back. </ P>
Do you know we're any student house on the campus that serves pizza at our parties?
- That can not be true. - Really.
- How are you? ? - Good.
- How are you? - My ankle is in a lot of pain.
That's a pity. I'm Cory. </ P>
- Ik ben Jess. - Leuk je te ontmoeten, Jess.
- What year are you in? - First year.
- Was that strange question? - Do you mean this?
Wait. What do I have...? </ P>
Jess! Hey Jess. </ P>
Wait a minute. Did I insult you in any way? </ P>
We met two days ago at the gym. </ P >
- I know again. - Cool. Bye. </ P>
No, no, listen. </ P>
You do not understand, I forgot because I had a stroke. </ P>
Okay . You are a student with a stroke. </ P>
I mean I really had a stroke. </ P>
Damaged brain tissue and blood vessels broke. Everything. The AVM was torn. </ P>
- You should not joke about that. - Pops! </ P>
- You want to tell her about my brain. - That is a mush.
- And my memory? - Gone.
- And were you in hospital? - Every day.
I'm still recovering.
It's pretty heroic, like you think about it.
Oh, you two already have each other...
That is actually cute, he liked you so much,
- that he wanted to get to know you twice. - Exactly
I only started playing in the third grade of high school.
Great and yet in the team. That's fantastic.
It was hard work but I did not know I would like it.
I had never seen myself as an athlete playing lacrosse.
What did you want to do first? What?
It's too embarrassing.
- Now you have to tell me. - I wanted to fight.
- Wat? Ongediertebestrijding? - Ja.
- I hate pests. - Yes, me too.
Does not mean that I'm going to spend my entire life killing them.
- I'm crazy about that ankle. - Yes, you're limping a little. </ P>
You look like me. </ P>
- Are you cold? - Yes. </ P>
- Thank you. - I'd like to. </ P>
I had a nice evening. </ P>
Yes, a really nice evening.
- Yes, not bad. - Not bad?
- Was not I am amusing enough? - No, not at all.
Did you not have fun with me? I had a lot of fun. </ P>
- Maybe I lied a bit. - Maybe. </ P>
Now I have more fun.
Yes, if you do not remember me now, after that?
I have a blackout. I think I still need a reminder .
- That felt good. - Yes.
Keith, change!
- Play back, Nino.
Be careful now!
Watch out, Tim!
- Do you want me to get help? - No! </ P>
- You do not want me to call someone? - No.
Okay, it's okay . I'm here.
It'll be okay, okay. I'm here.
His chances to play with this season become less.
Do you think he's ready?
I know, if he does not play, he'll collapse.
Cory. Come to my office. </ P>
This will work. </ P>
- Hé. - Hey, coach. </ P>
I must say that this season < br /> made a big impression on me.
First at the training and last who leaves.
I know you train like a beast in your free time.
I do everything necessary, coach.
I also know how much you want to join a competition.
- But that will not work out. - What?
You're better, but you're not done yet. I know you're still attacking.
I'm not going to get an attack during the game.
If it happens there... The risk is too big.
Coach. I've earned this.
I know. I'm sorry. </ P>
And? </ P>
My whole life...
I thought everything would happen for a reason. </ P>
That is true, Cory.
It also happens for a reason.
I have never given anything up in my life.
For the first time, I'm considering it.
After all you've been through, why now?
I realized that I was in live a dream.
I thought that if you work hard, you can achieve everything.
Like all that stupid tile wisdom on my wall.
There things happen in life. Some people look good, some do not. </ P>
That's a stark concept. </ P>
Think about it, Cory. </ P>
Two you were paralyzed years ago.
Then you went back to school,
and inspired other people.
No one should be inspired by me .
If they do, they'll see things that are not there.
So you're just a boy, who can not play basketball anymore.
With all due respect, this has nothing to do with basketball.
I...
I just want to be myself again.
- Maybe that's the problem. - What?
- That you can no longer be Cory. - You mean it?
I do not really have a choice.
- The old Cory is gone. < br /> - Sorry, what?
- The old Cory is gone. - Sorry, I...
The old Cory is gone! He's dead! </ P>
Do you hear me? </ P>
He is buried. </ P>
That does not mean that there can not be a new Cory.
Which is ten times more, than Cory ever was.
Cory, you do not know me.
I heard the story of your return on the local radio.
and I hope you do not mind that I write to you.
Just like you, my six-year-old son is also an athlete.
He too has an AVM and had a stroke.
A part of his left side is still paralyzed
and the doctors are not sure how well he will recover.
Evan is a fighter and he does his utmost. "
But, as you probably know , some days are harder than others
I told him about you, how you try to play again and that motivated him enormously.
I understand that you are probably busy with your study and basketball
But if you ever have the time < br /> to write or even call Evan
that would mean a lot to him.
Thank you for your time and I hope I did not offend you.
Sincerely, Jen Carlow.
Beautiful.
- How is it, Pops? - there was someone absent from the exercises.
- The team is not the same, without you. < br /> - Yes I know.
They certainly miss their mascot.
I'm serious. The team respects you.
- So you're coming back next year, okay? - I do not know. </ P>
How long can someone sit on the couch? </ P>
- Nice. Come on. - Really? </ P>
- Come on. - Really, guest? </ P>
Go. </ P>
See?
That has nothing to do with your stroke, you could never have left.
LAST YEAR
Thank you all for coming. /> I do not know...
Can someone write this down quickly. It's his new Gettysburg address. </ P>
I want to say something. </ P>
Cory, you know, when you got your stroke,
That was the scariest moment of my life.
I can not imagine how it was for you.
I do not think anyone can imagine that.
But I do know that you are the strongest, toughest guy in this room.
And I want to let you know < br /> that I always stand behind you.
- I know Pops. Thank you. - No.
- I was not allowed to help with packing. - You mean it. </ P>
What's this? I hope for you that it is something beautiful. </ P>
At least a monogram print . </ P>
Really not. </ P>
Guest.
Thank you, Pops.
This is the second best gift I ever received from you.
- Tweede, wat is de eerste? - Toen je mijn leven hebt gered, kerel. Dank je.
I would say you have credit for me, but some things can not be refunded.
- I know. - I want to practice again on Monday, what do you think? you're there.
That's what I mean.
Okay, Whatup ! Let's party, come on!
That was well cut...
Good work, boys! </ P>
Before you take a shower, Friday is our first race. </ P>
Time to vote for your captain. For the new ones among you,
Coaches have nothing to do with it. It's up to you.
Okay. The first captain... Tim Lang.
Number two. The last year student with the Salt-n-Pepa Hair, Pops. </ P>
Super! </ P>
Number three. </ P>
Congratulations, Cory.
You listen to Sport 1090. Online with Gettysburg head basketball coach George Petrie.
- A fantastic season, coach. - There is still work to do, but thank you .
Tell us about Saturday's finals.
Washington is a tough team. Coach Nugent did a good job.
It is also an important competition for you. You can become Gettysburg coach with the most profit. </ P>
We're not focused on that, it's seniors day. </ P>
Hopefully we'll help those guys the right way to their new season.
Good! Good! </ P>
- Hey, Pops. - Hey coach. Do you have a moment?
- What are you bothering? - Cory.
Oh, me too. I have not slept three nights because of him. </ P>
Het is nu of nooit. Hij zat op de bank voor twee jaar.
Have you ever wondered how it will turn out for him
if he gets injured or gets an attack for the home crowd?
- I know it's a risk. And then also the school & apos; s responsibility.
Yes, but he's... -Pops.
I know you're making the right decision. </ P>
Cory? Do you have a moment? </ P>
- Hello? - Hey, mom. </ P >
I spoke with the coach about the game tomorrow.
I'm in the basics, Mom.
I'm in the basics. </ p >
Cory?
Pops said you were here.
So, how are you doing?
- Things are going well. /> - Beautiful. </ P>
- How are you? - I wanted to call you when I heard the news. </ P>
But I did not dare. </ P>
I just wanted to congratulate you.
I know how hard you've worked for it. I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
Well, do your best.
Maybe more than that.
Ally. I want you to know that I understand what happened between us. </ P>
You do not have to feel guilty about anything. All is well. </ P>
- Coach. - Do not count on your big win. </ P>
- That's why they play. Good luck. - You too
Cory. You know you have to get out after the start. </ P>
- I'd like to let you in. - Is there really no way? </ P>
- Can not I take one shot? - No.
Okay, coach. </ P>

Coach, I do not want something I did not deserve it myself.
Think of the knees, Cory. Knees.
I scored a thousand points in high school.
I'm going to play again, coach.
I will not finish my school with zero points.
I will also score.
- Cory! Cory! Cory! -Thank you, coach. </ P>
Thank you. </ P>
- Well done, son. - Thank you, Dad. </ P>
- Good. - did you see that last roll?
People say I have not changed, but that is definitely true.
I'm a new Cory now and I'm happy about that.
I've been to hell.
And I'm not going to take someone < br /> otherwise leave it behind.
Although we can not always see it...
... everything happens for a reason.
