Wright State Head Baseball Coach Rob Cooper will be a guest on Oprah Winfrey’s cable television show “Oprah’s Lifeclass.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Wright State baseball coach Rob Cooper appeared on Oprah\u2019s Lifeclass<\/em> Wednesday night on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).<\/p>\n

Cooper discussed his practice of having his baseball players read a book in the off season that drives them to become more than baseball players.\u00a0 He talked about the book The Last Lecture<\/em> by Randy Pausch.\u00a0 Pausch tells his personal story, a college professor at Carnegie Mellon University, as he approached his final lecture as an educator.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great honor to have the chance to discuss Randy Pausch and his book with the people at Harpo Studios in Chicago,\u201d Cooper said.\u00a0 \u201cI hope others take the opportunity to read this book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper, in his eighth season at Wright State next spring, had his team read this book as they prepared for the 2009 season in which they won the Horizon League and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.\u00a0 His Raiders have played in three NCAA Tournaments in seven seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
