To Richard Lapchick, UCF professor, DeVos Sport Business Management Program Chair, Director of both the National Consortium for Academics and Sports and the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, there’s more. Epiphanies of injustice shaped the racial conscience of Dr. Lapchick, molding him into a champion for equality in sports and society.
Dr. Lapchick often speaks of the power of sports that comes out of the huddle. Inside the huddle it doesn't matter if you are black/ white, rich/poor, Christian/Jewish, etc.
Dr. Lapchick encourages coaches and players to take the "power of the huddle" from the court to the classroom, to the boardroom and use the power throughout society.
