Tony Hawk Visits La Costa Glen

Tony Hawk Visits La Costa Glen

Tony Hawk, one of the most influential pioneers in the world of modern skateboarding, landed at La Costa Glen recently to share his sports and business experiences before a packed audience of residents and staff.

Nicknamed the "Chairman of the Board" for his decades-long domination of the sport and groundbreaking tricks, Hawk gave a talk called "From Athlete to International Business Tycoon" as part of La Costa Glen's ongoing "Sports Night" series.

Hawk had another good reason for visiting La Costa Glen: his mother, Nancy Hawk, is a resident of the Carlsbad community. Mrs. Hawk, a former business teacher, shared stories of Tony's childhood, his drive to succeed and the challenges of being the mother of a world-class athlete.
