ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
I grew up with a front-row seat to the game of life, watching my dad coach some amazing athletes in the major league, all from the dugout and clubhouse. The lessons I learned weren’t just about the game of baseball -- they were about leadership, resilience, and navigating life both on and off the field. In each episode of Dave’s Dugout, I’ll share the wisdom passed down from my dad, the moments that shaped me, and the stories that connect baseball to everyday life. So step into Dave’s Dugout, where the game teaches us more than just how to win—it shows us how to live.
