These Ted Lasso quotes will make you laugh, and inspire you to keep your head up when life gets challenging.

Ted Lasso is an American comedy series that can be watched on Apple Tv+. It chronicles the misadventures of a small-time football coach.

Is Ted Lasso’s character based on a real person? He is a fictional character but actor Sudeikis has stated that some story beats were inspired by Jürgen Klopp, who is a real-life Liverpool FC manager.

Ted Lasso, who coaches a small college football team is hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, even though he has no previous experience coaching soccer.

Ted is clearly out of his element and is learning things about soccer as he goes, which contributes to the humor of the show.

At the same time, the vulnerability and life struggles give each character depth and heart, making them feel real. This show is definitely worth the watch, and has been green-lit for season 2!
