Our summer series LIGHTS, CAMERA, CRUCIBLES: What Our Favorite
Movie Heroes Can Teach Us About Overcoming Setbacks and Failure
continues with HOOSIERS … and it’s the perfect film to end the
series before next week's wrap-up episode. Why? Because at its core
the message of the film is what overcoming our crucibles is really
all about: redemption.
It's the story of Coach Norman Dale, who leads his team to an
unlikely Indiana high school basketball championship in the 1950s.
It’s unlikely because the Hickory Huskers are a small team from a
tiny school. Coach Dale has to start from scratch by instilling in
the boys the confidence and discipline and what he believes is the
right way to play the game. Along the way, he extends grace and
offers redemption to the father of one of the boys whose struggles
with alcohol had made him a town pariah. And he's earned redemption
himself thanks to the second chances he was extended by friends and
strangers – opportunities he met with humility, courage and
character.
