He has been named the United States Collegiate Ski Coaches Association National Coach of the Year on five occasions, last in 2015
One of Rokos’ greatest accomplishments since taking over the program has been turning what was once essentially an individual sport, pulling divergent skiers men and women, Nordic and Alpine, into a team event at CU Prior to his arrival, the two units rarely saw each other prior to the national championships, as they trained and raced separately. But it was his philosophy, to be an educator as well as a coach, to understand the physical and psychological significance of a student-athlete and to introduce harmony and mutual support that has made it a more unified program.

th
Rokos was born May 25, 1950 in Brno, Czechoslovakia He and his wife, the former Helena Konecny, and then-18-month-old daughter Linda, left a communist-bound native homeland in 1980 for Austria where they spent a year preparing their visas, and defected from Czechoslovakia to the United States (Detroit) a year later before calling Colorado their permanent home beginning in 1982.
