Description

Ben Ryan's remarkable story begins with a single decision: to coach Fiji's rugby sevens team in 2013. With no experience of the country and no contract, he embarks on an extraordinary journey that takes him from the basics of rugby to the heights of Olympic success. Ryan's path is fraught with challenges, including the limited resources and history of loss faced by his new team. Yet, through intense friendships, bitter rows, and moments of triumph, he builds a bond with his 12 players that transcends sport. As they prepare for their Olympic debut in Rio, Ryan's leadership and determination are put to the ultimate test. The result is a performance that not only wins gold but redefines rugby union and cements Ben Ryan's place as a legend in the sport.
