>>>and in the process, learns how to be a better man.

The premise is also a knock off of “Tootsie”, including the lesson learned, the subjective character arc.? (A logline is about the struggle toward an objective goal, not the lesson learned.)

I don’t find the premise particularly credible.? First of all being able to play hockey well doesn’t automatically mean he can figures skate well.? Two widely divergent sets of skills are involved.? ?It’s like saying some one who has mastered the violin is automatically qualified to play the cello or get up to speed quickly because, hey, both are string instruments; they look alike; the on difference is the size of the instrument.

Also It takes years of training to become an Olympic caliber athlete.? And they have to start young.? He’s already a young adult (at least).

And it’s SOP for Olympic athletes to be tested? regularly for taking performance enhancing substances — doping.? Like testosterone.? What would pass as a normal level of testosterone in men, would? be considered too high for women. So he would be outed after he is first blood test.

Winning athletes must also submit to a blood test immediately after a winning performance — again to see if they’ve been doping.

(It’s also SOP to require a physical exam.? ?So there’s that.)

I realize that the reality can be a little more elastic in comedies, but a story line must be credible in light of contemporary events and conditions. The premise of “Tootsie” was credible because its known and accepted that male actors can and do perform in drag.? And Dustin Hoffman’s character never had to undergo blood tests and physical exams.

imho

What is so mysterious about the motel that it forces her to look back on her life?? IOW:? what is the inciting incident?

?And look back how– with satisfaction?? After all she’s a confident woman.? If she looks back with regret or remorse, what causes her confidence to? flip? Why MUST she look back at her life?? And what are the stakes — what does she stand to lose if she doesn’t look back?

Also “forced to” means the “mysterious motel” or something or someone else is in the driver’s seat of the plot.? Even when the main character is a victim of circumstances, she should be in the driver’s seat of the plot (and so represented in the logline).
