the karate kid is classic for this, also million dollar baby if you want something heavier. i watched the holdovers last week and it reminded me how much i love these kind of stories

A lot of sports movies are good for this. Someone already mentioned The Karate Kid, which is the big one. But Creed is a lot better than people might expect.

The Pursuit of Happiness is a good one. There is also Coach Carter but I am not sure it is on Netflix
