Not sure what to say?

I'm very sorry for the loss of your loved one. May God provide you the comfort you need during this difficult time.

This man, my uncle Dr. Ken Ravizza was a man of compassion, a man of character, a man of integrity and a man who literally gave his life passionately to the work he loved, Sports Psychology. He touched many many lives in his valuable work with his valuable career. May his continued legacy live on through those whose lives he positively influenced.

Ken left an imprint on my heart/mind since 1984 at CSUF. I use a lot of what I learned from Ken in my job and day to day life. Whenever I coach baseball I refer to Ken all the time and share about his stories and his book Heads up Baseball. Ken was such a caring soul and I will miss you. Ken this is a Hard One for me to say Flush It. My prayers and strength are with your family.

Teacher, mentor and friend. His impact was for me immediate and life lasting. We are only here for a short while and giving to others means so much. Thank you Ken for all that you have given and know that those you touched are still passing on the wisdom and knowledge and love that you shared.

Dr. Ravizza was one of the best professors I had while attending CSF. Had many conversations with him in his office. God Bless the Ravizza Family

Hi,
Met Ken as a speaker approx. 15 years ago. His style, tone and choice of phrases immediately resonated with me both as an athlete and as a coach. We proceeded to be Ravizza disciples in our softball program,
utilizing many of his mental exercises. Was lucky enough to hear him speak several times up here in Seattle.
Thought it was so fantastic to see him in the background two years ago in the Cubs locker room when they beat the Dodgers to go to the World Series, and he...
