Longtime Cal-State Fullerton professor and Cubs mental skills coordinator Ken Ravizza has died at age 70, six days after suffering a heart attack in California.
Ravizza was a professor of kinesiology at Cal-State Fullerton for over 40 years and taught a class on stress management and applied sports psychology. It was there that he caught the eye of Fullerton’s soon-to-be legendary baseball coach Augie Garrido, who first asked him if he could help the baseball team in 1979, which, not coincidentally, was the year the Titans won their first College World Series.
