Lisa Kihl, Ph.D., associate professor of kinesiology, is featured in the CEHD’s Vision 2020 blog for her work as a consultant with Major League Baseball’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program.
RBI is a Major League Baseball initiative with the mission to increase urban and inner city youth participation in baseball and softball by re-introducing, reviving and rebuilding America’s pastime in underserved, inner-city communities. Since 1989, RBI has grown from a local program for boys in South Central Los Angeles to an international campaign encompassing more than 200 cities with as many as 200,000 boys and girls participating each year.
