Episode synopsis
Bill is an intensely competitive boy who thinks "winning is the only thing that really counts." He can't understand why others enjoy themselves jumping rope, roller skating, and just playing around. As he helps an inept friend learn to handle a basketball, he appears to be changing his attitude. Maybe, just maybe, there is something more to physical activity than winning. In the end, however, he remains true to form when he says, "I guess those activities are all right as long as you're the best."
About Inside/Out
Inside/Out is a 1970s educational television series. The show was produced in 1972 and 1973 by the National Instructional Television Center, in association with various contributing stations, such as KETC in St. Louis, Missouri, WVIZ in Cleveland Ohio, WNVT-TV in Northern Virginia, and The Ontario Educational Communications Authority. It was one of the last programs to be produced by NIT; the organisation would be reformulated as the "Agency for Instructional Television" in April 1973. Funding for Inside/Out was provided by grants from 32 different educational agencies within the USA and Canada, with additional support from Exxon Corporation.
