"But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
- Rocky Balboa
CREED II starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone opens in theaters Wednesday, November 21st. CREED II is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of family.
It is amazing how sports movies can really motivate you or drive you to the next goal. One of my favorite sports movies of all time was Rocky, the true-grit and determination that exuded in this film was a great motivator. I love the quote above, moving forward in the face of a struggle. There is just something about hearing that theme song, Gonna Fly Now, picturing him training, running up the famous Philadelphia steps that gets you pumped! Have you been to Philly and did that? It is on my bucket list. Or in Rocky III listening to Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, that is just the ultimate motivator. These classic sports films are just a true test of resilience. I loved Creed, the modern take and continuation of the story of Rocky in a new light as a mentor. I am excited for this upcoming film, Creed II.
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can't escape your history.
