Backwards

Drama/Romance - 2012 - USA - English

Abigail Brooks has spent her lifetime trying to win an Olympic rowing medal, sacrificing friendship, love, and a "normal life" along the way. When she is named an alternate on the Olympic team, she quits in haste. Defeated, Abi seizes an open crew coach position at her alma mater, Union High. There, the head of athletics is her old boyfriend, Geoff. Abi reinvents herself as a coach, and, in the process, learns to have fun again both on the water and off. This is a feel good romance that reminds us that sometimes a missed opportunity can become an introduction to an entire new life.
