Ball State FASH 481 students restyle historical garments for their upcoming fashion show.

Taylor Smith Reporter Sophia Greenwood, junior fashion merchandising and apparel design major, said her interest in fashion started at age 5 when her grandma taught her how to sew.

“I was always interested in dress-up, costumes, Disney princesses and anything that had to do with dressing up,” Greenwood said. “I liked the way that I felt when I put the clothes on … Even when you were little and you’re shopping — you find your first day of school outfit, and you get so excited.”

Greenwood said her parents noticed her passion for fashion, so they pushed her to be involved in 4-H when she was in fourth grade.

“I [made] a skirt that year, and then I ended up winning one of the championships,” Greenwood said. “From there, I realized that I liked sewing, and I was kind of good at it ... I made stuff every single year in 4-H, and then my senior year, I made my prom dress. Coming to [Ball State], I’ve obviously made a ton of

different garments too, but that was kind of the beginning of me loving it. I loved the clothing in the beginning, but then I learned that I love to make them as well.”

This semester, Greenwood is taking FASH 481 at Ball State where she studies promotional strategies that fashion retailers and manufacturers use. As her class prepares for its annual fall fashion event, she said many of her classmates are so creative that they first struggled to decide on an idea.

The possibility of an upcoming recession

Ball State professor and Village businesses reflect on the possibility of another recession.

John Lynch Reporter Michael Hicks, professor of economics and director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, said he predicts a 50 percent chance of a recession — a period of diminishing economic activity — in the United States over the next year.

There have been 12 recessions since World War II, Hicks said, and America may be due for its first recession since the Great Recession of 2007-09.

Those 12 recessions, he said, have a direct correlation with the state of manufacturing employment in the Midwest.

Hicks said when there are fewer manufacturing employees at the end of a year than there were at the beginning, that’s what leads to the recessions.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Indiana has seen an increase in the number of manufacturing employees every year since 2010. However, since June 2019, the state has seen this number decline the past four months.

These projections, Hicks said, indicate there will be a decrease in manufacturing employees by the end of this year. However, he said, these factors do not necessarily indicate the severity of a coming recession.

“I think it’d probably be shorter and less dramatic [than the 2007-09 recession],” Hicks said. “If you’re a manufacturing employee … it would be more painful. We have fewer of those now, so it’s more like a sectoral recession and concentrating a few geographies maybe.”

A sectoral recession, he said in an email response, could affect “any business that produces a good or service sensitive to changes in business or consumer spending,” listing RV dealers, car lots and restaurants as potential sectors.

Aaron Tripp, assistant store manager at the recently opened Yats restaurant in the Village, said a recession could hurt his restaurant’s profits — particularly for a new business.

“Same as any other business, if there aren’t customers buying food, it’s going to hurt our overhead,” Tripp said. “That’s going to unilaterally affect all businesses.”

However, not all business owners in the Village feel a recession will hurt their business.

Derek Edwards, owner and manager of White Rabbit Used Books, said his business actually improves during recessions.

“Recessions, oddly enough, actually help my business since I deal in secondhand stuff,” Edwards said. “People come

All the small businesses seem to ride it out. There are a few things that collapse during that time, but the Village has existed in one way or another since the 1920s, and I think we all managed to stay afloat. Might have to dog paddle for a while.”

- DEREK EDWARDS, Owner and manager of White Rabbit Used Books buy used stuff during times of economic crisis because they can’t afford new.”

During its nearly 30 years in the Village, his store has seen as much as a 10 percent increase in profits — especially during recent recessions.

Edwards said pawn shops and resale locations like his bookstore will also end up purchasing more goods for resale because people are more willing to sell their possessions during a recession to stay afloat financially.

Overall, he said he is optimistic about the Village’s business prospects during a recession.

“All the small businesses seem to ride it out,” Edwards said. “There are a few things that collapse during that time, but the Village has existed in one way or another since the 1920s, and I think we all managed to stay afloat. Might have to dog paddle for a while.”

Hicks remained similarly optimistic about the impact it may have on students, saying those who are currently in school “won’t notice it.”

The unemployment rate of graduates, Hicks said, is at a 50year low, though some graduates may experience delays coming out of college depending on the softness of the labor market.

“If you’re graduating, it will make finding a job harder,” Hicks said. “Typically, businesses are a lot more reluctant to hire during a recession, but even during the last recession, which was the worst in 70 years, most new college graduates found employment very quickly.”

Hicks said the best defense students can adopt in the face of a recession is finding more experience in their fields and taking more challenging classes, measures that will make them attractive to potential employers.

“If you’ve done poorly in school, it’s fairly likely that you’re going to have difficulty convincing employers that all of the sudden your behavior is going to change and you’re going to do well in the labor market,” Hicks said.

TO IMPEACH, OR NOT TO IMPEACH

Ball State professor and students reflect on lack of awareness of impeachment inquiry.

Rohith Rao News Editor Mika Hurst, who voted against President Donald Trump and wants to see him impeached, said she wasn’t fully aware of the details of the Trump impeachment inquiry.

“I know he got booed at the MMA sporting event,” said the first-year English studies graduate student, who gets most of her information from Twitter, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and “hearsay.”

While Hurst said her support for impeaching the president stems from her opposition of his personality, policies and Twitter use, she said she wasn’t “super knowledgeable” about the ongoing inquiry.

Students are typically less informed on politics, said Chad Kinsella, assistant professor of political science, public administration and American politics, in an email response.

Kinsella, who was a college student during the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton in 1998, said “Only those who are very in tune to politics really cared.”

“At that time, most people

were more interested in the Lewinski scandal,” he said. “[Students] have a lot going on and other interests outside of politics … outside of the few that are really interested.”

Lack of knowledge about the details of the ongoing impeachment hearings, Kinsella said, is not something limited to college students, but the general public as well.

“People have an opinion about the president and have a general sense that impeachment is bad for a president and are for or against based on their own partisanship and feelings toward the president,” he said.

“But as to what it all means, I think you will find most of the general public is very unclear about what impeachment is, what they are even investigating or that a House impeachment really does not mean much unless the Senate convicts.”

While he thinks most students don’t oppose the Democraticmajority House pursuing the Trump impeachment inquiry, Dominic Bordenaro, president of Ball State College Democrats, said he doesn’t think it’s one of the top issues they are worried about.

“That’s OK,” Bordenaro said. “The House has to deal with what the House has to deal with, and that’s great.

College kids need to focus on college issues.”

He said students shouldn’t downplay the importance of the impeachment inquiry, but they should also be discussing issues like college affordability and health insurance accessibility.

As someone who wishes to teach government to students, Chase Braden, secretary of Ball State College Republicans, said it’s important for everyone to be aware about what’s going on in their governments — like the impeachment inquiry.

Braden said he thinks a lot of people just aren’t interested in the inner workings of all levels of government, adding “people just don’t really care if it doesn’t affect them.”

“If you want to talk about politics and you want to be able to vote, you should be informed,” he said. “If you don’t like what’s going on, you have the ability to change it.”

A healthier Muncie Ball State’s Healthy Lifestyle Center helps community residents and students.

Amelia Cisna and John Lynch Reporters For eight months, Muncie resident Earl Willson has been using the Healthy Lifestyle Center (HLC), a Ball State service that provides students and the Muncie community with free nutrition, health and exercise advice.

“Over the past 18 years, I’ve been in bad shape,” Willson said.

“Now, I can walk better since I’ve been [to the HLC], talk better, and I’ve lost 60 pounds.”

The HLC opened a new location in the Health Professions Building on Ball State’s campus at the start of the fall 2019 semester. Last year, the center operated solely at the Meridian Health Center in Muncie.

It helps with stress. You can be in stress and feel bad, and they can help you feel better.”

- EARL WILLSON, A Muncie resident “We’re not actually doing assessments on [the patients],” said Nicole Koontz, operative director at the HLC. “We’re just basically allowing them to help make healthier lifestyle choices.”

Apart from providing information about exercise, Koontz said, the center also provides at-home physical fitness programs for clients who don’t have enough money for a gym membership.

Willson, who has suffered from 15 brain injuries, a heart attack and opioid addiction, said he struggled to understand his health issues from doctors in the past. But, the HLC helped him understand his various diagnoses.

“I had some diagnoses, and [an HLC staffer] broke them down for me, showed me what injuries they’re coming from and what they are,” he said.

Besides helping Willson improve his dietary choices and exercise habits, he said, the center helped him regulate his stress levels and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Every year, Leonard Kaminsky, administrative director of the HLC, secures a Ball Brothers Foundation development grant which allows the HLC to provide its services for free. The project, Kaminsky said, also receives internal support from the College of Health and the Fisher Institute of Health and Well-Being.

Students and Muncie residents can schedule appointments with the HLC staff or speak with the concierge, who can answer general questions about fitness or administer health screenings like blood pressure and BMI checks.

Willson said he visits the HLC “every one or two months” for those screenings and to track his weight loss with the at-home exercise plan, which he continues to use to get in better shape.

He also seeks advice from the HLC staff on his mental health, specifically when it comes to his emotional well being.

“It helps with stress,” Willson said. “You can be in stress and feel bad, and they can help you feel better.”

Thompson’s role on the team as a freshman wasn’t one where he saw a lot of playing time. Redshirting his first year, Thompson spent two seasons as a member of the scout team during practices, getting a collective six minutes of playing time in his

first season in a Cardinal uniform.

During his time on the scout team, Thompson said, he was doing the smaller things the team wasn’t working on during practice. If they were working on offensive skills, he was working on his defensive skills.

“Everybody else wasn’t focusing on defense, so I tried to be somebody that was focusing on defense and trying to talk,” Thompson said. “That’s what I try to tell the guys here: to try to do the little things that everyone else isn’t doing. When your time comes, you’ll be good.”

Ball State senior founded a campus-wide Snap Jar to recognize and appreciate people.

FREEPIK, GRAPHIC COURTESY; KAMI GERON, DN

For senior Brandon Eastom, recognizing others is becoming a seldom act people do for each other. It was this belief that had him to create the Snap Jar. “The Snap jar [is] kind of just a method of recognizing people and appreciating people,” Eastom said. “I feel like a lot of times people do a lot of great things, but they don’t get recognized for the great things they do. You say, ‘Thanks,’ but sometimes, it’s really good to just show recognition, and show you care about someone and showing that you noticed.”

Eastom said he first came up with the idea during his time as chair for the Recognition Committee in Ball State’s chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) — an organization that recognizes students who are leaders in their residence halls and “have shown outstanding service, recognition, commitment,” according to its Benny Link page. Within the organization, members would write down messages and put them in a jar for people to take and read.

“I wanted to take that idea and make it a campus-wide effect — to go to anyone,” Eastom said. “It doesn’t have to be a resident on campus. It could be off-campus, or it can be a professor. I’ve gotten those. It could be anyone because I think everyone should feel acknowledged and appreciated.”

Instead of using a physical jar, Eastom sends out a campus-wide email once a month where students and staff can fill out a Google Form recognizing others.

“What we do is we go through every single entry we get, and we send the person who was nominated an email saying, ‘Hey, you received a snap, and your snap says whatever,’” Eastom said. “Then, at the end of the month, we go through all of the entries, and we just randomly pick five. The five we pick get a certificate and a thing to put on their door that says, ‘Hey, you’re doing great.’”

As a member of NRHH, senior Jackie Weisenfelder said she thinks Eastom’s Snap Jar is a great alternative to give students a way to recognize others.

RESTYLE Continued from Page 1

The class’ first steps, Greenwood said, included brainstorming sessions, where they then ultimately decided not to go the route of a traditional fashion show. Instead, Greenwood, who is one of the event’s co-coordinators, and the rest of the FASH 481 class will present “Innovative Imagery,” a fashion museum featuring a particular collection of clothes.

“Innovative Imagery” will incorporate pieces from Ball State’s Mary Beeman Historic Costumes, a collection of more than 3,000 pieces of men’s and women’s apparel dating back to the 18th century, according to Ball State’s Digital Media Repository.

Instead of designing their own pieces, FASH 481 students are styling the historical garments in a way they believe reflects the time period they are working with while also incorporating stylistic elements from modern-day fashion.

“We’ve styled outfits with recycled, or upcycled or donated clothing,” Greenwood said. “It was more like creating outfits based off of clothing that we found or had that are inspired by them instead of creating them.”

Keith Green, senior telecommunications major and part of the FASH 481 marketing team, said he came up with the name “Innovative Imagery.”

“In the end, I thought [the

ABOUT THE COLLECTION The Mary Beeman Historic Costumes Collection began in the 1930s when the Frank C. Ball family gave Mary Beeman, head of the Department of Home Economics, a steamer trunk filled with items of apparel.

Also included in the Mary Beeman Collection are photographs, memorabilia and Beeman’s recipe cards from her time at Ball State Teachers College from 1929 until she retired in 1951.

fashion museum’s name would] be innovative because we basically take the works from the Beeman collection and recreate and restyle them with our own clothes,” Green said. “So, I thought, ‘Innovative Imagery.’ What better play on words than that?”

Because there are so many items in the collection, Greenwood said, the FASH 481 students split into their different groups — the coordinators, marketing, house & tech, finance and models/backstage — and each group picked pieces from the collection that inspired them.

“We picked the clothes, and we kind of thought about each decade, even if [the clothes were] not exactly made for that decade, kind of reminiscing,”

Green said. “We kind of looked up different styles and fads in different things like that from like the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.

We kind of went off that and pulled different outfits [from the Beeman Collection].”

By incorporating and restyling clothing from the Beeman Collection, Greenwood said, she and other FASH 481 students hope to bring a different audience to the fashion museum who aren’t normally interested Junior Sophie Greenwood speaks with her class Nov. 13, 2019, to organize final details regarding the class’ fashion show. in modern, upbeat fashion. “[The collection is] just Greenwood is one of the coordinators for the FASH 481 project titled “Innovative Imagery” which challenged students to racks and racks of clothing and rethink historical apparel.

“One thing I hope people will take away from attending this fashion show is that no matter if the fashion is name brand or low budget, you can still create unique pieces out of anything,” Green said. “I just hope people get to see the creativeness and creativity and know that you can make anything look good, and that you can look good.”

SNAPS

Continued from Page 09 “Something through NRHH is called an OTM, which is an ‘Of the Month’ award, and it’s usually like a longer thing,” Weisenfelder said. “It’s roughly 600 words, and it’s nominating somebody in a category for various reasons throughout a given month. The Snap Jar is a smaller version of that. Someone who is intimidated of writing an ‘Of the Month’ award or doesn’t know how to do it — this is kind of just a smaller way to still pat someone on the back.”

Because Eastom just started the Snap Jar in October, he said he was surprised at the number of entries he received.

“Right now, we’ve already gotten 55 [entries], which is pretty good, I will say,” Eastom said. “We are hoping for more, and we want a lot of people to be recognized. But the goal is once they realize, ‘Oh, emails go out, certificates go out,’ more will want to submit.”

Weisenfelder said she sent in one of the 55 entries and nominated DeHority Complex’s Hall Director, Robbie Williford.

Weisenfelder said she believes he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

“He puts in a lot of work [and] spends a lot of time in his office,” Weisenfelder said. “A lot of students don’t necessarily get to interact with him or attribute that work to him. They’re just like, ‘Oh, well, the building is functioning as it should be,’ but they don’t realize that there are people behind the scenes that put in time, energy and effort to get the building where it is.”

When Williford received the email about his nomination, he said he was taken aback.

“It gave me a sense of purpose,” Williford said. “I don’t require recognition to keep going, but it certainly helps remind me why I’m here doing what I’m doing … I think [the Snap Jar] will bring a greater sense of appreciation to campus. It’ll hopefully encourage folks to give

gratitude to others.”

Although Eastom came up with the initiative on his own, he said, he attributes much of its success to the support of NRHH representative Bradford Peace.

“I do one-on-one meetings with [Peace] every week,” Eastom said. “We kind of just talk about things, and he helped me perfectly put together this initiative. I wouldn’t be able to send all these emails or have a perfect idea of what I want to do and actually get things done without him. A lot of [the Snap Jar] is like me, but a lot of the help and the pieces of making things actually happen is Bradford Peace.”

Eastom plans on writing the Snap Jar into NRHH’s constitution to ensure it continues after he graduates. As a leader of the Recognition Committee, Eastom plans on passing the Snap Jar to the next person in charge of the committee.

“If Bradford stays next year, and he [starts the Snap Jar] again, I’m hoping that he will help [NRHH] continue it,” Eastom said. “The goal is just to

Senior Brandon Eastom came up with the idea for the Snap Jar Google Form in September, but he said, he “needed to smooth out all of the wrinkles to give the Snap Jar the best chance” before launching in October. Each month, five nominees are selected through a random number generator because “every snap is equally important, so it’s hard to choose based on the content,” Eastom said. ERIC PRITCHETT, DN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION pass down the idea. [When] I’m 80 years old, I would love to see the idea still exist.”

Eastom said he hopes not only NRHH continues to implement the Snap Jar, but that people continue to nominate and

recognize those around them.

“You never know how someone is really feeling,” Eastom said. “You never know the place someone really is in, and you don’t know how far just a simple ‘I appreciate you’ goes.

I think it’s really important to just always acknowledge those around you. Do a snap. Put it in the snappy jar.”

Bold Type

There’s nothing wrong with supporting your favorite musician Why traveling to see your favorite artist multiple times is OK Taylor Smith is a sophomore news and magazine major and writes “Bold Type” for The Ball State Daily News.

Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the Taylor newspaper.

Smith When Harry Columnist, Styles toured Bold Type in the summer of 2018, I saw him eight times in seven different cities across the United States. I was criticized for it.

“That’s such a waste of money!”

“Isn’t it the same show every time?”

“You’re too obsessed.”

“Why don’t you put that

money toward something else?”

“Because Harry Styles makes me happy,” I said, “and I like being happy.”

People watch their favorite movie more than once, attend more than one sporting event to support their favorite team and visit the same city multiple times because it makes them happy.

So, why is it wrong for me to want to see my favorite musician more than once for the same reasons?

After I graduated high school, I asked family members to help me make my trips to see Styles around the country possible, and for a while, my mom was the only one who understood why I would want to see him more than once.

She took me to New York City for my senior trip to see him perform at Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. She helped me check ticket resale sites on a daily basis, waiting for the perfect seats at the perfect price to appear, and when they did, we bought them as soon as

we could and planned our trip across half the U.S. I have never been as happy as I was while I was singing the lyrics to Style’s song “Kiwi” at the top of my lungs in New York City, standing in awe behind the pit as the floor shook beneath my feet and one of my favorite people in the world was on a stage 20 feet away from me.

In that moment, everything in my life was absolutely perfect.

After those trips, other members of my family began to understand why I wanted to go to so many of them, and they promised next time he toured they would take me again — not because they knew I loved him, but because they had never seen me happier than I was when I was singing along to the lyrics that saved my life.

Styles’ lyrics saved me from myself, from people who would bully me in middle school, from my eating disorder and from my anxiety.

He made me strong, and seeing him multiple times was my

way of thanking him.

I took the lyrics “choose your words” from Styles’ song “Ever Since New York” and got them tattooed on my wrist, making them a permanent part of who I am and giving myself a constant reminder. When I got to hear those lyrics sang live — see the person who wrote them with my own eyes and sing them at the top of my lungs with him — something inside me made everything feel OK. It’s the perfect moment — it’s magical, and it’s addicting.

That’s why I’m doing everything I can to make sure I can feel that again. I work as often as possible. I save every dollar I make, putting most toward my college tuition, but saving a percentage of each paycheck to make touring with my favorite artist possible. I schedule and plan everything out to the minute, and then I make it happen.

For my friends and me, concerts are moments we want to relive as often as we can, so we work hard in order to make

By going to more than one concert, I am not affecting anyone else. I am not taking away anyone else’s opportunity to see that musician. I am not taking away anyone else’s time.

I am doing it for me because it makes me happy, it helps me make friends and because there

is no other place in the world that makes me feel the way I do when I am standing front row at a Harry Styles concert, singing my favorite songs at the top of my lungs, arm in arm with my best friends, having the time of my life.

Taylor Smith created a tour diary to document every show she went to on Harry Styles’ tour in the summer of 2018. Smith also created tour diary pages for the six shows she went to when Styles was still in the boy band One Direction. On these pages, she describes her experience at the shows, the songs Styles sang and which moments stood out to her during the shows. Smith said the diary will continue to grow each time she sees Styles live. TAYLOR SMITH, PHOTOS PROVIDED

Brutally Honest

THERAPY REIMAGINED

Concerts can be more than just artists playing music.

Sophia Carson is a freshman public relations major who writes “Brutally Honest” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper.

I love concerts. So much.

That moment when the filler music before a show stops, and you know it’s show time. The venue lights go down, the Sophia screams rise, of you.

Carson the intro music Columnist, Brutally Honest to the first song begins … and there they are: one of your favorite artists, if not your favorite, in the flesh.

The artist or band that has lifted your spirits, quenched your bad moods and had you bopping from day one is directly in front of you.

Concerts are my therapy. I’m not much for going to traditional therapy, even though I know it works for so many others.

Instead, I let all my emotions out while screaming at the top of my lungs and throwing the rock ’n roll hand gesture in the air like it’s nobody’s business.

It could be considered a bad coping mechanism, but it’s all the physical exertion that happens during a concert that helps me de-stress and forget about everything else. I guess it’s comparable to someone going way too hard at the gym — everything hurts after, but it makes you feel like you’re truly thriving.

When you exert energy, your body releases endorphins.

These endorphins reduce your perception of pain, and that’s why you don’t notice bruises or injuries until the next morning — which isn’t always the best thing for your body, but oh well. Endorphins also just make you happier in general, and a good concert experience for me could best be described

as euphoric. There’s nothing quite like thousands of people headbanging in sync.

The happiest moment of my entire life was Warped Tour 2018. I saw some of my favorite bands for the second or third time and a couple for the first.

One of my favorites, The Amity Affliction, played a song that wasn’t originally on their set list, “All F***ed Up.” As the song began, I remember looking over and seeing my best friend’s face light up. My friend is a very stoic person, and you only get to see this lively side if you really know her, so seeing her get this excited in public hyped me up, even though I didn’t know the song.

When I looked at the crowd behind me, my heart swelled with pure joy. It’s so amazing to see so many people singing along to the lyrics that have gotten them through dark times — getting to see people against the barricade so carefree and those in the mosh pit getting down and dirty and then laughing and smiling about it.

In moments like that, I understand what true happiness is. Some people don’t

understand what I mean when I say concerts momentarily relieve my depression, but it’s much like an out-of-body experience. It’s a time when I get to step out of my own mind and forget everything. My brain is silent for once and filled with nothing but love for the artist in front of me and the people around me.

There’s no way to fully explain why I like having

HOW DO ENDORPHINS WORK?

my ribs crushed against a barricade for hours, why I find so much joy in having people’s sweaty bodies shoving into me repeatedly or why I deal with a couple of idiots purposely throwing their elbows into my side with the intent to hurt me.

There’s just something about leaving the venue and being ready to collapse from exhaustion and possible dehydration. Your whole body is numb, your hair is positively messed up from the crowd surfers, whatever makeup you had on is gone from all the sweat, ribs are crushed and you can’t talk because your voice is so raw from screaming.

The only thing I can do in those situations is wipe the mascara from under my eyes and walk back to my car with an insane grin on my face.

Every bad thing in my entire life is worth having these moments of pure freedom and ease at concerts. What’s going through my head when I’m losing my voice and rubbing my throat raw can simply be described as genuine happiness.

TEAM

Continued from Page 08 “He’s really fought hard to earn a roll,” Whitford said.

“He’s both a good player on the court, and he provides great intangibles of being an everyday guy. He’s someone we can count on to have a great practice and to give his best every night on game night.

He’s a complete winner.”

Thompson’s work ethic has ceased to slow down since his freshman year. He comes in around 11 a.m. five times a week to work with assistant coach Matt Crenshaw before heading to team practice, dedicating 30 hours weekly to growing himself and his game.

That attitude of working hard day in and day out has proven Thompson as a leader among his team on and off the court. To Whitford, there is no question he has stepped up as a leader, leading by example and being vocal when needed.

That aspect of having a voice on and off the court is something new to Thompson.

As someone who has been fairly quiet on the team, he continues to grow and inspire others through his own voice.

14 “I was probably one of the quietest guys because I didn’t want to step on anybody’s toes,” Thompson said. “I was the person who did all the little things and dirty work — guard the best player, set charges and do everything on defense. Now, I’m the older guy on the team. It’s all about being a leader and making sure the little guys are safe.”

In the early season, Thompson has based his leadership ethics on the idea that it’s OK to step on the other guys’ toes. Whether it’s a freshman or a senior, if you’re slipping up, you’re free range to get called out by anyone.

“I feel like leadership was kind of lacking last year because we didn’t want to step on each other’s toes,” Thompson said. “This year, I tell everybody that if I messed up, you can get on me. If y’all messing up, I’m going to get on guys too. We all want to hold each other accountable.”

The mentality of “we before I” is something Thompson said sets this team apart. It has a collective mindset of working as a unit and doing what’s best for the team’s overall success.

It traces back to the concept of doing the little things, which is

what has gotten Thompson to where he is today.

“We never point fingers at each other. It’s all about staying together,” Thompson said.

“We’d like start moping, and then coach would get on us because like the whole summer, it is all about staying together.

That’s one thing we’ve been trying to be big on this thing together. It’s all about we and not just I.” As Thompson continues the path into his final year with the Cardinals, his name continues to share the same breath as his father’s, Chandler Thompson, a former Cardinal. However, Josh isn’t concerned about the name he’s making for himself compared to his father’s.

He’s doing what he can for his team and what can be done now.

“If I hear my name going good, I’ll just stay with it,” Josh Thompson said. “Stay positive, stay humble and just keep trying to do everything I know I can do to get this team winning.

I know I can make a name for myself if we win [the MAC Championship] this year.”
