Synopsis

This is a 7x10 376-page paperback of the compelling, emotional heartwarming autobiography of sports icon Hobie Billingsley, the world's greatest diving coach and history of the sport. Overcoming challenges being homeless with his mother during The Great Depression, sneaking into the local YMCA teaching himself to swim and dive, he becomes the Pennsylvannia State Champion. Then goes on to become the first four-time All-American with the Ohio State University diving dynasty only interrupted by a stint with the Army Air Corps in Okinawa at the end of WWII. After the war, he becomes a part of a vaudeville troupe of clown divers touring cities. A great storyteller one moment you laugh and the next cry. Well written and edited with excellent pictures. At Indiana University he becomes only the second diving coach hired by any school but has no divers and adequate facility. Then produces 132 Olympic and National Champions. Hobie inspired champions to be better than they thought they could be and will inspire anyone who has challenges to overcome to succeed beyond their dreams. An enjoyable read for all ages and avocations.
