"Ju Ga-ram is a former rugby player who was the hope for Korean rugby. He had talent and star potential, but a drug scandal ruined everything and he retired. 3 years later he returns as a contract coach for the high-school rugby team where he once played, now the weakest team in its league. As a coach Ga-ram shows unrivaled charisma and uncompromising leadership ability. He also reunites with his ex-girlfriend, Bae I-ji, who is a shooting coach at the same high school. They dated for 10 years, but after his drug scandal, Ga-ram disappeared. The rugby team has 7 players, including its captain, Yun Seong-jun, who's in his 3rd year of high school. He's twisted by envy and feels inferior toward people with talent; yet he's hard-working and wants to be recognized in sports."

These all have edited "soft" English captions; that is, English subtitles are part of the MKV files and the subtitles can be enabled or disabled as you wish.

I downloaded the source videos like "The.Winning.Try.S01E01.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-MrHulk.mkv" and extracted Netflix' English subtitles from those, then...
- Used Subtitle Edit (by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson) to find and fix all flagged issues
- Used a nonlinear video editor to remove a brief recap from the 3rd episode
- Added subtitles for the beginning credits, and for all of the production team at the end of the final episode
- Added 0.7 second to each subtitle (where possible) to allow more time to read them and adjusted words/minute to at least 280
- "Softened" all subtitled profanity (bastard --> jerk, damn --> darn, bitch --> wench etc.)
- Corrected commonly-found typos, converted many word pairs into common English contractions, and brought together sentence fragments
- Naturalized the English phrasing to retain fluid grammar by reducing sentence-initial conjunctions
- Converted the horrible Netflix ALL CAPS CAPTIONS FOR SIGNS AND WRITING into non-SHOUTING yellow or salmon respectively
- Used Handbrake to create new MKV files using my subtitles, trimming the horrible Netflix splash screen from the starts and ends
