Professional soccer player and coach Ethan Zohn asked himself that very question after winning the game Survivor: Africa in 2002. He invested his $1 million in winnings to co- found the non-profit organization Grassroot Soccer, which promotes HIV/AIDS prevention education to African youth through soccer. Several years later, he became a survivor in another sense after being diagnosed with a rare form of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. While enduring the rigors of cancer treatment, he became a national spokesperson for Katie Couric’s Stand Up to Cancer organization and kept a weekly video blog on People magazine’s website, where millions watched him experience the highs and the lows of aggressive treatment. In this talk, Ethan shares his journey and delves into the issue of character—what it is, where it comes from, why it matters and how it can help people make the most important decisions of their lives. This lecture is co-hosted by the USC Institute for Global Health and Ray United FC.
