Grab Your Popcorn: Netflix Sets Release Date for One for the Ages: The Rhonda Revelle Story
Get ready, sports fans and documentary lovers alike—Netflix has announced the release date for one of its most highly anticipated sports documentaries of the year. One for the Ages: The Rhonda Revelle Story is set to premiere on June 21, 2025, and it’s already generating major buzz across the country. This compelling film dives deep into the life and legacy of Rhonda Revelle, the iconic coach who transformed Nebraska softball into a national powerhouse and inspired generations of athletes.
Known for her fierce competitiveness, unparalleled leadership, and deep love for her players and the game, Rhonda Revelle is a towering figure in the world of collegiate softball. Now, her storied career will be immortalized in a gripping, emotional, and inspiring documentary that promises to do more than recount wins and losses—it offers an intimate look at the woman behind the whistle.
Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Susan Hartley, One for the Ages features never-before-seen footage, heartfelt interviews, and an inside look at the challenges and triumphs that defined Revelle’s more than three-decade tenure with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Fans can expect candid moments with Revelle herself, reflections from former players and coaching staff, as well as insights from rivals who respected her tenacity and impact on the sport.
Netflix’s official synopsis reads:
“Through triumphs and trials, Coach Rhonda Revelle became more than just a leader on the field—she became a symbol of perseverance, vision, and empowerment in women’s athletics. This documentary traces her extraordinary journey from a standout pitcher to one of the most revered coaches in NCAA history.“
Rhonda Revelle first joined Nebraska softball as a player in the late 1970s, helping to build the foundation for what would become a nationally respected program. But it was her return as head coach in 1993 that marked the beginning of a new era. Under her leadership, the Huskers made multiple Women’s College World Series appearances and routinely finished among the top in the Big Ten and Big 12 conferences. Revelle’s emphasis on discipline, team unity, and mental toughness became trademarks of her coaching style.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from the tougher parts of Revelle’s career, including her temporary administrative leave in 2019—a period that brought intense media scrutiny and internal review. But rather than define her legacy, the film shows how Revelle emerged from that experience more determined, more open, and more committed than ever to athlete well-being and personal growth.
Critics and early viewers who attended a private screening at the Nebraska Spring Sports Gala have already called the film “a masterclass in storytelling” and “a necessary chapter in the history of women’s sports.” With Netflix’s global platform, One for the Ages is poised to introduce Coach Revelle’s story to an entirely new audience, highlighting not only her accomplishments but the broader challenges and triumphs faced by women in collegiate athletics.
For longtime fans of Nebraska softball, this documentary is a love letter to a team and a coach that brought pride to the state. For those unfamiliar with Revelle’s legacy, it’s an inspirational tale of resilience, integrity, and impact far beyond the diamond.
So, mark your calendars and grab your popcorn. On June 21, 2025, One for the Ages: The Rhonda Revelle Story will begin streaming worldwide, reminding us all why some stories deserve to be told—and remembered—for the ages.
