Luther College Head Wrestling Coach Dave Mitchell will speak Thursday night about "The Evolving Role of Sport in Developing Resilience." The lecture will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the recital hall at the Center for Faith and Life.
Historically, organized sports have played an important role in helping participants develop methods to cope with loss, injury and self-doubt. Sports also provide a platform to practice goal setting, positive self-talk and mental toughness. Luther Head Wrestling Coach Dave Mitchell will lead a panel of speakers who will discuss the role of sports in building resilience and producing other life-long benefits. The lecture is free and open to the public.
