"I think [The Kickin' Hoosiers] is great and needed. Indiana soccer is such a class program and can be a model for any college sport. To see what Coach Yeagley did, how he did it, and the family he created is incredible." -Brian Maisonneuve, Columbus Crew midfielder and former Hoosier soccer star The Kickin' Hoosiers chronicles Coach Jerry Yeagley's 41 years of successful men's soccer at Indiana University, culminating in IU's sixth NCAA Championship in December 2003, which marked Yeagley's final year as IU men's soccer coach. At his retirement at the end of 2003, Yeagley was the winningest Division I coach of all time with a record of 544-101-45. The IU soccer team won back-to-back titles in 1982-83 and 1998-99. It also won a championship in 1988 and then surprised the country when, after a slow start to the season, it won it all in 2003.
The Kickin' Hoosiers covers 41 years of determination, celebration, success, and class. It profiles IU's All-American players, the Hoosier soccer family, and the challenges that came with building the program into the powerhouse it is today. Packed with photos, memories, facts, and figures, it celebrates a winning tradition at Indiana University.
Customer Review: Must Read for Coaches Wishing to Build Solid Program
This book is a Must Read for any coach, athletic department administrator or other person looking to find the "secrets" for building and sustaining a lasting National Powerhouse Program in any sport or any business organization. IU has had it share of great coaches and great sports programs, such as Swimming & Diving, Track and even the sport of Basketball (of which some of you might have read about over the years). Here, Kathryn L. Knapp captures the essence of the IU Soccer team and its success over the past 41 years. Woven into the fabric of her story are the essential elements needed to achieve organizational success. It is about leadership, motivation and hard work from a "top down" and "bottom up" perspective. Her story is about IU Soccer Coach Jerry Yeagley, who built the program from a mere local club sport to national prominence and, along the way, captured 6 NCAA Championships. Incredibly, every varsity-era player who came to IU and stayed 4 years enjoyed a trip to the College Cup (the Final Four of College Soccer). These teams made Yeagley the winningest coach in NCAA history and, in a fairy tale ending, won him a national championship in his final game as coach. How did Yeagley do it? Read the book and hear about the challenges and obstacles that he had to overcome and choices that he made. What you will find is that the program was never about one man; it was always about people, at all levels of the organization. Players, parents, assistant coaches, trainers, equipment managers, students, sports campers, fans, alumni, coaching mentors, administrators, faculty, friends, media and neighbors: all drawn together by Marilyn and Jerry Yeagley and their children. Learn about the IU Soccer Family; it teaches life lessons. If you are looking for a guide to leadership, then pattern your efforts after the principles of team-building, integrity and community shown by Kathryn L. Knapp. Success will follow you.
Rogue leveling in World of Warcraft can be considered a relatively straight-forward process. This is due to the fact that playing as a Rogue character you are really designed as a killing machine, able to kill mobs very quickly. When I first started playing WoW I played a rogue main character the majority of the time. Eventually I leveled up my night elf rogue to level 60 - using daggers the entire process! What a mistake and ineffective use of time that was!
One of the first decisions you may need to decide as a Rogue is to use Sword or Dagger. My advice is to you as a fellow rogue is to lose the dagger. Your mainhand weapon needs to be a sword/mace. The benefit of using a sword (or mace) as your mainhand weapon is that every hit will result in dealing a large damage to the enemy. When using a sword sinister strikes are twice as powerful, particularly in these early WoW level sinister strikes can be almost as powerful as a backstab attack - whilst limiting the risk of missing which some when using backstab.
When using Swords and Maces you don't really need to be concerned with positioning - just smash with your Sinister Strike. Unfortunately, when you're rogue leveling, good fist weapons are few and far between in the leveling process.
Gearing up a rogue (like most other melee classes during the WoW leveling process) is all focused on maximizing damage whilst leaving just enough stamina for a reasonable health recovery.
