Speaking about this films CPL's Head of Production, Paul Pritchett-Brown, said: "When documenting sports people it is their on field talent that is usually the focus, but behind every successful athlete is a story of where they came from, the people who made their careers possible and the defining moments in their lives that give them the drive and focus to become the best in the world at what they do."

"It was a privilege to be able to go to where these impressive young men came from and to tell their stories."

All three films will be available on the CPL YouTube and Facebook pages.
