Survive and Advance

Make no mistake, this is a love story
Survive and Advance remains the standard by which all other ESPN 30 for 30 episodes are measured, and how fitting that this beautiful love story takes place exactly 30 years after NC State won the national championship in a huge upset over Houston. I saw Survive and Advance when it debuted in March of 2013. I have revisited it several times over the past seven years, and I have recommended it to practically all of my family and friends. For viewers with any aspirations to coach, I strongly recommend they read Joe Ehrmann's excellent book, Inside Out Coaching, and that they see this documentary. Jim Valvano was not an old school coach who "kicked" his players by yelling and screaming and demeaning them. Conversely, he was one of the new era coaches (see Tony Dungy) who embraced his players. Perhaps, this can be traced back to Valvano's own parents who loved him unconditionally and believed in him wholeheartedly. He used that foundation of love and belief and instilled it in all the young men that he had the privilege of coaching in basketball and, as they would come to realize in later years, in life. He loved on his players and taught them to love one another. When you can successfully marry those two things in a hungry and talented group of players who buy in, great things, and in this case even sports miracles, can occur. Survive and Advance is not a basketball story per se. The over-arching theme is love-the love that a coach has for his players and the love that the players have for one another. When those players gather on a tragic occasion, they realize how much their coach transformed their lives by loving them and by using basketball as a vehicle to teach them about life. Make no mistake, at its core, Survive and Advance is a love story, so you do not have to be a basketball fan or even a sports fan, for that matter, to enjoy it. Basketball is a minor co-star in this amazing and exceptional documentary.
