Eddie The Eagle from 20th Century Fox hits theaters on February 26th. “Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself – even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.”
I try to teach my kids to always believe in themselves and to keep trying and doing their best in all areas including school and sports. Sometimes it’s hard to lead by example though. This year I’ve vowed to exercise more and take better care of myself. I’ve never been athletic at all. In fact, I’d never even ran a full mile until 2008 when I was almost 30 years old. I did it ONCE and then found out I was pregnant with my second child and the fatigue of pregnancy and morning sickness settled in. This week I ran my second ever non-stop mile. I’ve been walking about 4 miles a day and hitting my goals most days so I’m starting to dabble in running to push myself a little further. It’s small steps but I know I can do it! My kids encourage me and in turn, I show them that it’s never too late to set goals and go after them.
Looks like Eddie the Eagle is a pretty inspirational movie! Check out the trailer below:
