Hoosiers

Hoosiers takes place in a small town called Hickey in Indiana. Norman Dale, the main character lands a job as the head coach of Hickey’s basketball team. We soon find out that the town’s expectations and norms are far different than Coach Dale’s, which leads to an interesting narrative. Coach Dale’s principles seem to irk many people in the community, which creates a perfect depiction of what challenges may rise as people resist change. In the beginning stages of this movie we see a clash of norms, as the coach wanted to set new norms around the school and ultimately the community itself. The head coach faces many forms of conflict, but decides to stick his principles. However, the townsfolks didn’t agree with Coach Dale’s methods, and wanted…

Former presidential advisor James Burns said that such leadership occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality. While knowing this he was also faced with many barriers, such as tradition, lack of discipline, unfair judgments, and lack of trust. But he showed to be an amazing transformational leader because he was able to lead and motivate in a way that suited every individual person in…

In the film, “Hoosiers” Coach Dale inspired everyone on the team to the first day he got there, he was underestimated and the school and the town did not think much of him. When coach Dale introduced himself, the player thought of him as a nobody but he did not take the disrespect and instead implemented his way of playing and training. Coach Dales immediately emphasized the fundamentals of basketball to his players right away, working on footwork, passing and conditioning, and rebounding. Coach…

So where does that leave us, as Hoosiers. Not all of us are teachers. Why should the budget crisis of Tri-County School Corporation worry someone from Indianapolis, or from Terre Haute? The day-to-day operations of school districts might seem minimal in the face of larger issues the state is facing. But this line of thinking fails to take into account what is true of Tri-County and any other school district in the state. Schools are responsible for producing entire generations of Hoosiers. The…

P1: The movie I am reviewing is called “Hoosiers.” This movie is about a basketball coach named Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) who comes to work at small high school in rural Hickory, Indiana. I am here to give my opinion of this movie, and it’s not a good one. P2: I felt that the character of Jimmy Chitwood (Maris Valainis) did not get enough character development as he should have, considering the amount of focus put on him in the beginning. Out of nowhere he decided to rejoin the team with no…

government that do not permit me to provide specific legal analysis or advice to the public, but only to my government clients. But I want to reassure all Hoosiers that our Constitution provides strong protections for both religious liberties and protections against discrimination. The current issues involving state statutes can in no way lessen any constitutional rights. But in addition to being the state government's attorney, I am a lifelong Hoosier who loves this state. And I want to come…

Coach Dale, head coach of the Indian Huskies, on the movie Hoosiers is a strong asset to the team’s success. He is a coach who boost self esteem instead of lowering it. Most coaches only want to win, but Dale wants to see the best of his players which you can see when he says “to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what scoreboard says at the end of game, in my book we’re gonna be winners.” The job of a coach cannot be an easy one, they have to fully give themselves to the team. Coaches…

For quite some time, approximately a century and a half, the occupants of Indiana have been associated with the nickname “Hoosiers”. Other states have their individual unique name for the occupants as well. For example, the Buckeyes of Ohio, Suckers of Illinois, Tarheels of North Carolina, and many other states too, still, none of them seem to be as renowned as Indiana’s, and for good reasons too. It also has quite a bit more acceptance than most. Many already know, but some must be considering…

Introduction The 17th Annual Hoosiers Outrun Cancer was a huge success this year and has been for the past 17 years. I had the opportunity be one of over 400 volunteers for the event, which allowed me to gain skills for my potential future in the field of sport management, and possibly, other related fields. The volunteer sport organization, or the organization that provided the opportunity for the community was the Bloomington Hospital Foundation, which is an organization that creates events…
