The following spring semester, Dave had the opportunity to volunteer as the strength and conditioning coach for Sacred Heart University’s Football team during their winter conditioning program and was able to learn from their coaching staff. Dave quickly proved himself and is now the strength and conditioning coach for the Pioneer’s Football and Men’s Lacrosse teams.
