THE DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

Coach Duby believes winning matters—but development comes first.

His coaching system emphasizes:

FUNDAMENTALS • WORK ETHIC • ACCOUNTABILITY • BASEBALL IQ • COMPETITIVENESS • COACHABILITY • CHARACTER • MEASURABLE PROGRESS

Players are taught to understand the game, compete with purpose, respond to adversity and take responsibility for their own development.

The objective isn't simply to build better tournament teams.

It's to build players capable of succeeding at the next level.

ATHLETIC BACKGROUND

A graduate of Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, Duby was a four-sport varsity athlete competing in football, basketball, baseball and track & field.

He earned 10 varsity letters, received All-League and All-East Bay football recognition, competed in the North Coast Section track championships and continued his football career at Diablo Valley College before attending San Francisco State University. �

That multi-sport background continues to influence his development philosophy: build the athlete, develop the baseball player, prepare the person.
