Rudy became the inspiration for millions when a Hollywood film
depicting his journey as a Notre Dame football player became one of
the most influential sports movies ever made. In Daniel "Rudy"
Ruettiger's only autobiography, go behind the scenes to experience
the heartache, triumph, and glory through Rudy's own eyes, and
learn details of the ten years it took to get the movie made. For
the first time, the real Rudy shares his story of floundering
through school with undiagnosed dyslexia and finding himself mixed
up with a rough and rowdy crowd. "Football was my salvation in high
school," Rudy believes, and while he dreamed of playing for Notre
Dame, he never believed he was smart enough to make it to the elite
group of higher education. A poignant and high-energy storyteller,
Rudy details failures and pitfalls along the way. He explains the
persistence and determination it took to get accepted to Notre
Dame, to suit up and play for twenty-seven glorious seconds, and to
see the dream of his movie become a reality. Rudy is truly a
real-life testament to the old adage that it is not how many times
you get knocked down, but how many times you get up again. He will
motivate you to discover your own dreams and to them with
unrelenting faith that anything is possible.
Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On explores the real life of Daniel "Rudy"
Ruettiger, the inspiration behind the iconic sports film, Rudy.
Rudy Ruettiger first overcame the odds by being accepted to the
University of Notre Dame. Because he was dyslexic and got poor
grades in school, he had to find another way. He continued to
accomplish his dream by becoming a walk-on player for the football
team, culminating in being able to dress for just one game and
leading to an epic sack that has inspired generations of fans in
the beloved sports movie. However, there was still so much of
Rudy's story to tell. Emmy (R) award-winning Director and Producer
Nick Nanton presents Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On, using the full
dialogue and cinematic images from the feature documentary film of
the same title, to examine the Rudy story everyone knows and loves
to provide further depth and detail about Rudy's past struggles and
triumphs at Notre Dame, as well as what it took to get that story
onto film. Furthermore, Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On elaborates on
who Rudy has become and how he still serves as an inspiration
today. Whether you're looking for insider information on the actual
story behind a favorite sports figure, or you're hoping to find
some continued inspiration in Rudy's story, this tell-all has
something special hidden amongst its pages for you.
