Spring football is BACK and better than ever. Game Day Ready takes you behind the scenes with the star athletes of the United Football League as they reveal the personal rituals, routines, and superstitions that fuel their focus and fire them up before the big game.
Kenny Willekes was born into a conservative religious community that didn’t take his football ambitions seriously. Now, he’s navigating a profound journey of faith, worship and the game he loves in this emotional and visually evocative story of identity, belief, and personal freedom.
