Very personal bio about Wolf Wigo, Olympian water polo player. Explores Wolf's interest in water polo, from infancy through the Olmpics. Offers insights into the game of water polo which are inspiring to kids who like swimming and competition. Well produced with good cinematography. Some of Wolf's comments are not well recorded. There is a scene with four players nude, holding the water polo balls in front of their crotches. It's not overt and could be missed but it's there.
Wolf Wigo, a New York City boy aspires to become an Olympic water polo player, overcoming geographical and health obstacles until, through training and determination he achieves his dream ten years later. Viewers are shown the rigorous and unusual aspects of this sport which epitomizes the amateur ethic. Participants play for the love of the game not for monetary rewards.
