Even with the most optimistic ones, this stage occurs. So, we’ve created a list of inspirational sports movies to help you cheer up and return on the path to success for some of these types of instances.

  It is an underdog’s comeback tale that carries on for several adaptations. Each film is packed with inspiring training sequences and masterful storytelling. A charismatic fighter from Philadelphia, Rocky Balboa, operates as a debt collection agent and brawls in nightclubs only to earn a living. He appears to be losing his potential, but all transforms after he’s offered a chance of his future when the new powerful world champion – Apollo Creed – picks him unexpectedly for a publicity contest. Rocky battles for all that’s valuable in his life – his dignity and honor, making it a classic sports film of all time.

• Eddie The Eagle

  This sports movie is based on a true tale of the 1988 Calgary Olympic games in Canada. In that event, Michael ‘Eddie’ Edwards would become the first downhill skier to serve Britain at the Olympics after 1928. Yet, the narrative around it is more remarkable than the reality alone. This film further discusses the premise of the difficulties and inspiring path that players have taken to complete.

• The Karate Kid

  This inspirational sports movie follows the fantasy tale of a child who travels with his mom to China and is mocked in school for being different. Trying to blend in, he discovers a passion for combat sports and employs it to build up trust. In general, martial arts rely a lot on preparing the mind-set to be powerful – not just the physical body – and, particularly, on the intention and aim of conditioning. We get why this film discusses this concept and communicates this rather intriguing existence with the athlete kid. The 2010 sequel is a recreation of the original picture shot back in 1984. It was based in Los Angeles, rather than China, but the main story is just the same. 

• Wimbledon

  One of the most motivating sports movies is a fictional yet inspirational account about a hard-fought tennis athlete who received a wild card spot to engage in the most coveted game in the world – Wimbledon. Falling from becoming the 11th highest on the planet to 119th position, he thinks like his best days are now behind himself, and it’s probably a good time to fulfill his potential. But it’s also the psychological response that brings players out – not just their physical fitness. The film reveals that frequently in athletics and real-life achievement is only a psychological battle, and sometimes shifting your outlook will affect the outcome. This movie is also a clear illustration of how many emotions and questions pass through professionals’ heads when put under extreme pressure.

• Goal!

  A fictional sports film of the highest category is a story of a young aspiring soccer player, Santiago, who is also a Mexican refugee residing in Los Angeles. After already being allowed his career to play competitively in a Premier League football league, he’s plunged into a wholly distinct atmosphere than he’s ever been, and the challenges he faces and how he overcomes them are truly inspirational. Fans would enjoy how well the film provides access to the way of living of the athletes and the other side of soccer.

Seeing people get into challenges in life allows you to recognize that nothing is perfect, and they’ve worked all of this out – even the winners. It’s still a massive effort, no matter what field you’re in. The path to the ‘hilltop’ of achievement will still lead to several failures.  The dilemma is, what do we do, and how would we get up once we collapse? Is there anything we forget? Do let us know the best sports films that encourage you the far most!

India is a country that enjoys any sports from golf to Gilli danda, and passion for sports runs deep in our blood. In every household on every street, one can find at least one kid who is either watching sports or getting ready to play with his/her friends. The madness for Indian Premier League or Indian Super League is quite well known in India and to sports enthusiasts worldwide, owing to the high participation of international players’. So, what is the most watched sport in India?

Cricket Is Not A Sport, It Is A Religion

Surprise, surprise, well actually, this does not come as a surprise at all that Cricket is the most watched Indian sport. A game that was brought to India by Britishers in the 1700s is now one of the most watched and revered sports in India. To add to that, we have schooled the British in their own game for many years now and will continue to do so. 

The first game of Cricket played in India was in 1721, and the first Indian Cricket Club cropped up in Bombay in 1848, founded by the Parsi community. The rest, as they say, is history. With each decade in cricket, a new feather was added to India’s cap as it continued to dazzle the world with the quality players it produced. Today, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is one of the most powerful organizations in the cricket world. They are undoubtedly a global leader owing to the revenue generated by Indian cricket. They decide who gets to play matches for the country, and they command immense respect in the international cricketing world owing to the high status of Indian cricket. Would you believe it, if we said that they are worth a whopping Rs. 14,489 crores? 

Cricket being the most watched sport in India, generates insane amounts of revenue through various events. Cricket’s biggest income source in India is the Indian Premier League (IPL), a high investment tournament with sponsors lining up. Other than that, the men’s senior international tours/tournaments hosted in India is reported to have generated Rs. 446.26 crore, and other income sources such as interest from the banks and income from the ICC/Asian Cricket Council.

Cricket Viewership 

A report by BARC claimed that Cricket draws 93% of all sports viewership in the country, of which a sizable chunk is women viewership. A press statement by Romil Ramgarhia, who is the Chief Operating Officer at Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India, goes something like this:

“Although other sports are making their presence felt on television, cricket continues to be the most watched sport in India. The broad fan base of cricket is evident from the fact that women constitute 48 percent of viewers.”

The IPL alone is possibly responsible for drawing the most eyeballs to cricket in India. The fun format, the glitz and glamour that Bollywood adds to it, the international players and the high stakes auctions ensure that it consistently remains a widely watched sporting event in India. In 2020, IPL clocked 400 billion viewing minutes on TV, representing a staggering 23% jump from 2019 viewership data, when it clocked 326 billion viewing minutes. 

The madness around cricket in India is evident from how the country worships its cricketing stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and more recently, Virat Kohli will forever be immortalized in India’s cricketing history.

What are some other widely watched sports in India?

While cricket undoubtedly commands the most viewing minutes on Indian TV, some other sports are widely watched and discussed in the country. Football is extremely popular in India, and apart from Indian football, international leagues like the EPL, UCL and Spanish League, draws a huge chunk of viewers from India. The FIFA world cup is undoubtedly a major sporting event that the country excitedly waits for every 4 years.

Other than that, hockey, badminton, basketball and tennis are also quite popular in India. There are also various motorsports including the widely popular Formula One Championships. Overall, India is a highly invested country in sports of different kinds, and every household encourages their child to play at least one sport.
