The true story of Catana Starks, a former swim coach at Tennessee State University who became the first woman ever to coach a college men?s golf team.

The remarkable true story of Catana Starks (Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson) from historicall black university Tennessee State who became the first African-American woman to coach an all-men's team at the collegiate level. When she signed up to coach the team, she expected it to be tough but she had no idea just how challenging it wold be.. With no scholarships to offer and only one US student willing to work with her, she was forced to reach out across the globe and assemble a ragtag group of golfers. Through grit and determination, she overcame incredible struggles and deep-seated prejudice from all corners to guide this unlikely group to an all-time record championship season. With sage advice from her friend Roger (Oscar nominee Michael Clarke Duncan) she taught the boys (and herself) no matter how rough the start, with the right aim and drive, anyone can triumph against overwhelming odds.
