"Win Win" -- some advice from and for those who wrestle

Win Win showcases some marvelous acting (Paul Giamatti, once again the shlub everyman, but the leads are all marvelous) and a quiet but so moving story.
I thought the tolerance of foul language between coaches and student-athletes was probably not realistic, even in the public schools of today, as the "coach" still is the model for the growing young persons. OK, but that is REALLY minor compared to the wonderful moral tale that unfolds and enfolds the characters.

As a person of faith, I found the young wrestler's explanation of his strategy so telling. One imagines that the opponent is drowning them, and then the wrestler must fight as hard as possible to get free.
Great wrestlers of the Bible -- Jacob at the Jabbok, Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (metaphorical) -- wrestled as much with God as the situation which they faced. They wrestled, were injured, and emerged victorious.
We too tackle life's challenges -- and we can capitulate, accept, ignore, reject, or fight with God, evil, the powers that be, not be surprised by injury, and God-willing emerge victorious. I think that is God's promise.

I think that is the message of Win Win.
