This week, I talk with the founder and president of Elevate Lacrosse and Elevate Academy in Long Island, NY, Dave Kotowoski. Dave tells me a little bit of his story on how he got to where he is today. In the episode, you’ll hear about how he was afforded the opportunity to study at Brown University and meet a life-changing mentor…all while remaining a three-sport athlete. Listen to Dave’s uplifting story to hear his rise from a troubled youth to a successful Ivy League scholar who – after spending some time on Wall Street – decided coaching young kids is where he belongs.
