Dr. Harold W. (Bill) Kohl III had a significant impact on the field of physical activity and public health. His seminal works included the first study linking physical fitness to all-cause mortality and his 2012 paper in The Lancet, which emphasized the importance of addressing physical inactivity as a global public health concern. However, his most enduring legacy may be his commitment to mentorship and building capacity within the field. He created a supportive environment for his mentees, fostering collaboration and growth. He also dedicated himself to mentoring international scholars and played a crucial role in the formation and expansion of regional physical activity groups, particularly in Latin America. Dr. Kohl's mentorship was characterized by generosity, respect, high expectations, empathy, and humor. He emphasized the importance of measuring what matters and encouraged his mentees to think critically and consider the broader implications of their research. Despite his loss, his mentees are privileged to have learned from one of the best and are committed to carrying forward his legacy. [Extracted from the article] |
