Headcase

My writing partner and I grew up playing sports and we love sports shows like Friday Night Lights or even Ballers but what those shows always miss is the mental aspect of peak performance.

This show takes place behind the closed doors of a sports psychologists office working with athletes to perform in the moments that matter the most. Think Tiger Woods coming back from his scandal.

But the twist is that when this sports psychologist has a fall from grace, to revive his career, he has to work with his brother as he rises to NFL stardom.

That brings up tons of issues around sibling rivalries, how family helps us succeed but also holds us back, and how much we have to sacrifice to be great on the field.

Think Succession meets the Manning family.
