Some of Propp's character types found in sports themed films include the villain and the princess. The villain could be a person or team, but often could be an injury, or prejudice beliefs in this specific genre. The princess rarely is a physical being, but most of the time a championship or goal that the athlete aims to achieve. In my film, the princess is passing the spelling be, so that the protagonist won't be grounded. the Villain, in this case, is a physical being, who is the protagonist's parent, who wants him grounded.
A film in the sports genre which contains these character types as well, is the movie, "The mighty ducks." This movie is about a former hockey player (Bombay) who gets sentenced to community service and must coach and train the city's youth hockey team. In the movie, the princess started out with the coach trying to finish his service but transforms into the winning the hockey championship. The villain of this film, is the rival and more professional youth hockey team, known as "the Hawks", who play them for the championship title. The coach of that team was Bombay's former coach, who was disappointed in his performance in a championship long ago, making the rivalry more personal.
