Check Your Head
Prismark1018 November 2023
It is back to teenage Dwayne Johnson. It is 1990 and Dwayne is in college on a football scholarship.

He is playing for the famed Miami Hurricanes football team and Dwayne aims to kick butt as well as tackle hard.

Soon his abilities on the training field attract the attention of hangers on before Dwayne has played his first proper game.

However a shoulder injury in training means his season is already over. He will not be playing a game and has to hit rehab hard.

Only Dwayne gets depression. He cuts class and fails to attend training sessions as an observer. It is up to his dad to help Dwayne snap out of it.

It is a bold move to highlight depression. Even the Rock mentions in the interview segment that it was not called depression back then. It was his story of how he handled adversity. His father Rocky was key to his recovery.
