Authors Note:

I loved the movie Iron Will when I was growing up. I used to watch it a lot with my dad. It's one of his favorite classics too. Recently when I watched it again I couldn't help, but to picture Will as a girl instead of a guy. Makes the story a lot more interesting, don't you think? A young confident woman making a name for herself in an era and sport where it's dominated entirely by men, I mean who wouldn't be rooting for her.

Also, for those of you who aren't aware the movie Iron Will is based on a real life historical figure just with a different name. I believe the man who Iron Will was inspired by is called Fred Hartman. For those of you who are curious about the guy look him up. Who knows you may find it rather enlightening. ;)
