In celebrating the life and work of Ken Ravizza, one of the most renowned psychologists in sports. I am joined by 12 professionals and friends in a four part series, where they share intimate stories and reflections about this incredible man's work, passion, and energy. Ken, was one of the pioneers that not only pushed sports psychology to the forefront, but had a major hand integrating mental skills training into Major League Baseball. Even though, Ken had touched thousands of students, athletes, coaches, and organizations in a such a positive way, these 12 interviews will signify Ken's imprint on all that work with him and who study his work. His voice, his lessons, and his sayings will never be forgotten.
