Boise State's Coach Petersen to Deliver Free Lecture May 21 as Part of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Events

Boise State University football coach Chris Petersen will share some insight into how he motivates his coaches and players during a special address at 7 p.m. May 21 in the Bronco Football Complex on the south side of Bronco Stadium.

The special lecture is the final event of the spring season for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State. It is free and open to the public but seating is limited. Those interested should call 426-1709 to reserve a seat. Free parking also will be provided.

Petersen, who led the Broncos to a Fiesta Bowl win and a WAC Championship during the past two seasons, will focus on the psychology he uses as he works with this coaching staff and players, and on how current technology has impacted the game of football. He will also answer questions from the audience.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a membership-based program for the adult community, offering a series of lectures, noncredit courses and special events. The institute is offered through Boise State’s Division of Extended Studies and in cooperation with local organizations. It is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Boise State recently joined other institutions across the country that have OLLI programs, including Duke, Clemson, University of California-Berkeley, Rutgers, Carnegie Mellon, Washington and Utah.
