After picking the brains of some of the most gifted athletes of all time, the documentary IN SEARCH OF GREATNESS concludes that impressive physical attributes alone don’t necessarily translate to success on the field.

The Gate
Stylistic missteps do little to mar the essential message, a bit of wisdom humanity has to remind itself of anew in every generation, minting new cliches like "it's the journey, not the destination."

Hollywood Reporter
3 stars out of 4 -- The film is a welcome tribute to vision, innovation, and knowledge as more important than technique and training, and encouraging imagination as more important for children than honing sports skills.

An eloquent and inventive look at self-expression in sports and to those athletes... who succeed at the highest levels not by dint of sheer physical prowess, but by ingenuity and creativity.

Product Description:
This sports documentary explores the ins and outs of what makes someone greater than the rest. It examines the psychology of people who achieve more than the average person and applies that knowledge to famous athletes, not only giving an analysis of them, but personal interviews and insights from players themselves. Written and Directed by Gabe Polsky.
