My Favorite Lecture with Sonny Lubick, "Overcoming Adversity"
Presenter(s):
Sonny Lubick
Description:
As a football coach for the CSU Rams, Sonny Lubick was known for coaching his players not only on the field, but in their lives as well. In his coaching career, he worked with many student athletes who faced significant challenges. In his “favorite lecture,” Lubick will share some of his tried and true tips for overcoming adversity. All students will face a time in their academic careers (and in their lives) when it seems like quitting is the most logical thing to do. Lubick, however, believes that we all have the resilience to bounce back from even the most difficult circumstances. The most successful people in the world aren’t necessarily the luckiest, but rather the ones who are able to navigate obstacles. Lubick will give students tips on how to “coach” themselves into getting past the inevitable setbacks in life. No matter what your future career path, the way you handle stumbling blocks often speaks more about your character than your successes.
Sonny Lubick was head coach for the Colorado State Rams football team from 1993-2007 and led the team to six conference titles and nine bowl appearances; he was named National Coach of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1994. Colorado State’s football stadium is named Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium, a testament to his coaching career with the Rams. A well-known figure in the Colorado State and Fort Collins community, Lubick now serves the Director of Community Leadership Outreach at the CSU College of Business.
