Coming Home to Lead with Cole Dupont (Lafayette HS) | Baseball 101 | YBMcast

On the latest episode of Baseball 101, Cole Dupont, Head Coach at Lafayette High School, joins host Dave “Diamond Dave” Wiggins for a conversation rooted in perspective, pride, and purpose. Growing up in the area and playing baseball at Lafayette alongside his brothers, Coach Dupont always felt a deep connection to the program. Now, he finds himself leading the very team that helped shape him—an opportunity he approaches with gratitude, responsibility, and genuine care for the players continuing through his alma mater. The discussion spans Coach Dupont’s experience coming through the Lafayette program as a player and his current role at the head of it. Together, they reflect on how the game has changed over time, what has stayed the same, and how those lessons shape his expectations for today’s players and the season ahead. This episode offers a thoughtful look at leadership, continuity, and what it means to come full circle and give back to a program that helped build the foundation. ⚾ Baseball 101 — where experience meets perspective. 📲 Follow Dave Wiggins (Host):X: @CruitsCoachDWInstagram: @coachdave1338⚾ Stay locked in with Youth Baseball Midwest—your hub for full-spectrum youth baseball insight in the Midwest. Subscribe and hit that dinger (🔔) to never miss a game-state insight.🌐 More YBM:Website: youthbaseballmidwest.comYouTube: Youth Baseball MidwestInstagram: @youthbaseballmidwestTikTok: @YouthBaseballMidwestX: @YBM_castFacebook: Youth Baseball MidwestPresented by our proud partners:Game 7 Baseball: game7baseball.comPrime Sports Midwest: primesportsmw.com🎥 Production Partner:Red Earth Productions: redearthprod.com
