Welcome to the "Get in the Game" podcast! We are excited to welcome Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to the show today.
Last season he helped guide the Dodgers to their first World Series championship since 1988, and he also won a World Series as a player with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. He was named the National League Manager of the Year Award in 2016.
A former teammate of Scott Linebrink, Roberts shares what it means to manage and play professional sports with a servant leadership mentality.
"Being a professional athlete is very difficult," he said. "People ask and want things. I just really believe that having that sense of that servant mindset to want to help others, it always kind of gets you back to that gratitude piece that we've got it pretty good. There's other things outside of baseball. I think that ultimately will make you a better person and a better ballplayer, I really do."
He also opens up about his faith and how it has guided him through his career and what giving back does for the heart.
