Hoosiers Coach Norman Dale embodied a number of personal characteristics which enabled him to be the quality leader he was in the movie Hoosiers.

They also helped him to change the losing ways of the early team into the state champion team they ended up to be. Additionally, a number of environmental factors played a role in his success
For this movie review, I decided to watch and analyze the film Hoosiers. Hoosiers was released in 1987 and was directed by David Anspaugh. It is a classic sports film that keeps viewers on their toes by having many suspenseful moments. It was inspired by a true story about another school from Indiana.

Oscar Wilde, an acclaimed Irish Poet, novelist, dramatist and critic once aptly commented, “Men become old, but they never become good”.

In the swirling colors, Victorian dolls dance. This is the image that comes to mind when I think of a spring morning at Grandma’s Antique Shop. Gravel crunches as I walk toward the old gray house. Above the steps is a baby blue sign that reads "Todd's Treasures," a hoe and rake form a pyramid over the sign. The steps are wooden and give gently

After my earlier trips down the Ohio River in 2012 and Wabash River in 2013, the plan this year was to explore Southern Indiana’s Blue River by kayak from its source to the mouth. That proved to be a challenge, but one well worth the effort. It began early on the Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend heading off in search of the source of the river with a longtime friend, John Hughes. We traveled to the towns of Blue River and Daisy Hill, which are separated by a small bridge over the river, which
