Some of runners in the film really are cross country champions, including Diamond Morgan (Gena Mills) who really has won multiple state championships. Aryn Wright-Thompson (Hannah) however was not actually a runner. The distance she ran while filming was not measured, but Alex figured she probably ran about 50 miles. She eventually needed shin splints and often had a stunt double. One day, while filming the second race, she stepped into a groove and hyperextended her knee and fell to the ground. But she fully recovered. The other parts of this race with her were filmed at a later date. After filming was completed, she didn't want to run anymore.
A cross country coach was a fitting role for Alex Kendrick in that he has helped to coach his kids, all six of which have won cross country championships, many of whom can be seen running in the movie, including his daughters Anna and Joy who can be seen as numbers 33 and 35 in the first race.
When filming the basketball game where they just barely lose, on the first take or two, Ethan (Jack Sterner) actually made the basket from half court that he was supposed to miss.
There is a shot of a license plate in the movie that reads "Jay Austin Motors". Jay Austin Motors is the name of the car dealership Alex Kendrick's character owns in the first Kendricks Brothers movie, Flywheel.
The character "John Harrison" (Alex Kendrick) handling the "bricks" stone after feeling rejected symbolizes the girl, the father and himself. "Rejected" stones which become cornerstones. Psalm 118: 22.
"Hannah Scott: [to Coach Harrison] Ask me who I am. John Harrison: Who is Hannah Scott? Hannah Scott: I am created by God. He designed me. So I'm not a mistake. His Son died for me, just so I could be forgiven. He picked me to be His own, so I'm chosen. He redeemed me, so I am wanted. He showed me Grace, just so I could be saved. He has a future for me, because He loves me! So I don't wonder anymore, Coach Harrison. I AM a child of God! I just wanted you to know."
"Thomas Hill: John, if I asked you who you are, what's the first thing that comes to mind? John Harrison: I'm a basketball coach. Thomas Hill: And if that's stripped away? John Harrison: Well, I'm also a history teacher. Thomas Hill: Okay. We take that away. Who are you? John Harrison: Well, I'm a husband. I'm a father. Thomas Hill: And God forbid that should ever change. But if it does, who are you? John Harrison: I don't understand this game. Thomas Hill: It's not a game, man. Who are you? John Harrison: Um, I'm a white, American male. Thomas Hill: [laughs] Yeah, that's for sure. [laughs again] Thomas Hill: Is there anything else? John Harrison: Well, I'm a Christian. Thomas Hill: And what does that mean? John Harrison: It means follower of Christ. Thomas Hill: And how important is that? John Harrison: It's very important. Thomas Hill: Interesting how it's so far down your list. John Harrison: Wait a minute, I could easily have said Christian first. Thomas Hill: Yeah, but you didn't. Look, John, your identity will be tied to whatever you give your heart to. It doesn't sound like the Lord has first place. John Harrison: You're calling me a bad Christian? Thomas Hill: Let me be a little direct: last time you were here, you said you'd pray for me. Did you? John Harrison: [Looks down, grimaces] No. Thomas Hill: No. For someone who knows the Lord, you're acting like somebody who doesn't. Which makes me wonder: what have you allowed to define you? When you lost your team, it didn't just disappoint you, it devastated you. Something, or someone, will have first place in your heart. But when you find your identity in the One Who created you, it'll change your whole perspective."
