Ken Lolla

"I love the positive energy that you bring into the room, and the way that you relate that "real joy" to others. You are a very special person, with quite a terrific family, and those young men that you coach are so fortunate to be associated with you at this stage in their lives. I wish you and your team continued success!"

"Coach Lolla’s Speech was another example of the his servant-based leadership, strong faith, and passion for inspiring others that clearly differentiates this extraordinary individual as he brought forth a very compelling and an arrestingly positive challenge to each of us to step back and gain a greater appreciation for the gifts in our lives and the choices we can make going forward to enrich and support ourselves and others."

"Coach Lolla is one of the finest examples of leadership we have in our community, and quite frankly, in all of sports and he is unselfishly inspiring many others to join him on this road toward fulfillment and joyful success."

"I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. I will never forget the impact from all the great speeches you gave to us before/after training and games, in your office, on Sunday evenings, and in public You gave me the opportunity on the soccer field and you have given me the opportunity to reach my goals now that my soccer career has finished.."

"I attribute your players’ classy behavior and conduct to you and your coaching staff. Thank you. Thank you for teaching these young men respect and sportsmanship. As a teacher myself, people are quick to complain, but very rarely share the compliments. I just thought you would like to know it hasn't gone unnoticed."

"Wow! That is all I can say about this morning. You changed some guys lives today, & more importantly this will lead to guys changing other folks lives. What an inspiration. Maybe our best ever."

"I left the meeting jazzed up.  Coach Lolla is a guy you want to be led by.  I can certainly understand why he has been successful. "

“I had the great privilege of spending three days “behind the scenes” of the Men’s Soccer program at the University of Louisville. I was there to observe Coach Ken Lolla’s program up close and personal. How did I choose Coach Lolla and Louisville? I asked a ton of my college coaching colleagues if they could study the art of coaching under only one college coach, who would it be. Ken won in a landslide!”

"Several students mentioned your lecture as being one of the highlights of the semester, not just in my class but throughout their curriculum! The students, the SPAD department, and I thank you for your insight regarding leadership."

"I was blown away with the insight Coach Lolla shed on us! I would be hard pressed to find someone in our organization who did not come away with a positive message they learned from you. We are all looking forward to your continued success at Louisville and I hope you look for us in the stands because you have gained some new followers!"
