DUSTIN ASHBY (dustin@bombersbaseball.org)
Manager – 11u, 9u, 8u

Dustin’s experience training athletes began 22 years ago when he was the college golf coach at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. During his two tenure’s as the Men’s Golf Coach at UMSL, Ashby built teams that would qualify for the National Championship Tournament.

Ashby has spoken to audiences on the topic of “Presenting Your Student-Athlete for a College Scholarship” and “Parenting Your Superstar” in an effort to help athletes and their families navigate the complicated world of youth and prep sports.

Since 2010, Ashby has dedicated his coaching time towards his son’s baseball and basketball teams. Playing a variety of sports growing up, Ashby attended Lafayette High School before continuing his education at Murray State University and then University of Missouri-St. Louis on a golf scholarship.

Dustin is a big believer is youth athletes participating in multiple sports, with the sport in season receiving the most attention.  The benefits of cross training are significant, but as equally important, the negative risks of concentrating on only one discipline are substantial for a youth athlete.
