This documentary is a case study on Kyle Joshua Dandan, a top-seeded tennis player. It describes how he uses home-schooling as a tool to combine two seemingly contradicting factors in a Filipino athlete's life-education and sports. While home-schooling benefits Kyle by adjusting to his lifestyle, it has several disadvantages. For instance, core competencies and values may be sacrificed. As Kyle graduates from high school and the Juniors Division, he pursues his career with no regrets for the choice that he made. Will his choice benefit him in the long run? Only time will tell.
