SEATTLE (AP) — The founder of the Seattle-based Pacific Institute and self-help mentor to several generations of local coaches and athletes has died.
Lou Tice was 76 and died Sunday after a brief illness. The Seattle Times reported that among those he influenced were former Washington Huskies football coach Jim Lambright and current Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.
Tice, a Seattle native, was a football coach at Burien’s Kennedy High School in 1971 when he started the Pacific Institute, a corporation specializing in leadership development.
Tice also became a trusted figure for area athletes and coaches. Lambright asked Tice to mentor his coaches before seasons, then went to work for Tice after being fired at UW. Current UW coach Steve Sarkisian also worked with Tice and in a post on his website called Tice “a great mentor and friend.”
