Synopsis

We will follow NIFA (Native Indian Football Association) coach Dano Thorne as he brings his own holistic coaching philosophy to his players to cut through the past trauma in their lives and turn them top-level athletes. Can he recruit enough athletes into his program, and will any of them have the financial and social stability to actually show up? We will peer into his holistic methods of reconnecting his players with their culture and watching them succeed on the field and in their social lives. With just a few months to go and the Indigenous games coming up. It’s up to the community to support the players and up to Dano to win their hearts. At any time, NIFA and the indigenous games, are on the line, so Dano must be ready for these challenges to keep the team together and NIFA alive.
