Red Carpet Interview with Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton for Eddie the Eagle


Head Coach Sports was invited to screen the movie #EddieTheEagle and I thought it was a great movie about sports and persistence. It is a movie based on real events and a real person named Eddie Edwards (played by Taron Egerton). He followed his dreams to compete in the Olympics and did whatever he could to get there. He tried multiple sports and finally found a sport, ski jumping,  that he could get there with.

Eddie reminded me of a quote that I have on my office wall from Calvin Coolidge that states, "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

Even with Eddie's persistence however, he needed a mentor or a coach to help him qualify. The mentor/coach was a former ski jumper himself named Bronson Peary (played by Hugh Jackman).

Head Coach Sports was then invited to a premier event in Plano, TX to interview Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton on the red carpet. I wanted to know if they had any coaches or mentors that helped them or motivated them through their own adventures in life.

Below are the videos of those interviews but I have to warn you that I got a little star struck interviewing these two as this isn't a regular occurrence for me. For example, Taron Egerton almost asks my question for me. Also, when my wife talked to Hugh Jackman about his dad being his hero, I was supposed to mention that my father is also my hero and that he was my coach for many years but I dove right into the question instead. We loved meeting both of them and I would highly recommend #EddieTheEagle to sports fans, families, teams, hopeful Olympians, underdogs, and anyone else that could use some motivation.

Enjoy the interviews and go see #EddieTheEagle!

  11. 마닐라국제공항에서 마이다스 호텔 & 카지노까지 이동하는 데는 공항 내 렌터카 데스크에서 차량을 대여하는 게 가장 좋은 방법일 수 있습니다. 마이다스 호텔 & 카지노에는 주차 공간이 마련되어 있어 렌터카 사용이 편리합니다. 마닐라국제공항에서 호텔까지는 보통 택시나 카풀 서비스로 이동합니다. 가성비상 가장 좋은 방법이지만, 교통 상황이 안 온라인카지노 좋을 때는 비용이 더 들 수 있음을 감안하셔야 합니다. 마이다스 카지노 영상은 국내에서는 이미 인지도가 높아 많은 분들이 온라인 카지노 사업을 시작할때 첫번째로 원하는 영상입니다. 하지만 마이다스 카지노 영상을 제대로 공급하고 있는 업체는 많지가 않은 상황입니다.
