Forever Strong is based on an amalgam of true stories about the Highland Rugby high school team.The character Rick Penning is based on a real member of the rugby team who played in Flagstaff, Arizona and was sent to a group home in Salt Lake City. Producer Adam Abel and Director Ryan Little were attracted to the story because of Highland Rugby's tradition of winning both on and off the field. The film name "Forever Strong" is taken from the team motto of the Highland High School rugby team.

Great movie.
It was almost everything: sports, emotions,
an incredible transformation of Rick Penning.

Boys who will be forever strong" - Larry Gelwix

He was weak.
I add this movie to What I saw about sport list,

"I don't normally like sports movies, and I don't know the first thing about Rugby, so I went in with low expectations.
Was it amazing? No.
Was it pretty good? Yes.
Will I watch it again? I could, but probably not."
