121. Scott Doffek: UWM Head Baseball Coach

I am SO excited to have you join me this week as I interview some who has a massive impact on my career, Scott Doffek. Scott Doffek, the 2013 Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association College Coach of the Year and two-time Horizon League Coach of the Year, enters his 15th year as the head coach of the Milwaukee Panthers in 2021. A mainstay in the MKE baseball program, Doffek enters his 27thseason with the Milwaukee coaching staff after spending the first 12 of those years as the assistant head coach. Doffek became just the second coach in program history to top 300 career wins in 2017, becoming the program leader with victory No. 348 in March of 2019. Before joining the coaching staff, Doffek spent five seasons (1989-93) in the Los Angeles Dodgers minor league system, making it to the Triple-A level with the Albuquerque Dukes. Collegiately, Doffek played baseball at Waukesha County Community College, where he won the NJCAA batting title after hitting .539 as a sophomore. He was honored as an all-region and all-conference selection. Doffek attended Hartland Arrowhead High School, where he was selected to all-state and all-conference teams. He also played football for three years. Among MANY other things today, we are going to talk about motivation and how being intrinsically motivated is so important, how 2020 impacted coaching and athletes, as well as what quality is absolutely required to stay the course. Let’s go! IG Links: @mkepanthers @uwmilwaukee
