[AUDIO] David Dwaihy: Teacher, Coach, and Owner of DCFC, "Turning Anxiety into Success"

In this re-released episode, we will chat with David Dwaihy who will share his ability to overcome anxiety by attacking it head-on. These lessons apply to life, the classroom, and the soccer pitch. 

Dave Dwaihy was born in Detroit and raised in Grosse Pointe Woods. Dave attended Kalamazoo College, where he played soccer, studied math, and first met fellow DCFC owner, Sean Mann. Dave has taught math and coached soccer at University Liggett School since 2002. Dave oversees soccer operations for Le Rouge, a role in which he works primarily as a liaison between the coaching staff, players, and ownership group. Dave lives in Grosse Pointe Woods with his wife and their two young children. Nicknamed “The Touch” by DCFC supporters, Dwaihy is the only owner (to date) to suit up for both DCFL and DCFC.  A midfielder for Le Rouge, he pretty much played wherever he wanted and scored whenever he wanted as a member of Hubbard Farms in their inaugural season.
