    Dave Roberts — from champion player to champion coach

    In this episode of the CoreViva Know Your Body Podcast, Dr. A. Alexander, CEO & Co-founder of CoreViva, sits down with Dave Roberts, manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, former Major League Baseball player, cancer survivor, and three-time World Series champion, for an inspiring conversation about resilience, leadership, performance, health, and what it takes to keep moving forward. Dave reflects on his journey from playing multiple sports as a kid to betting on himself as a recruited walk-on at UCLA. After earning his scholarship, being drafted in the 28th round, signing for $1,000, and spending five years in the minor leagues, Dave ultimately found his way to the major leagues, built a 10-year playing career, became a coach, and went on to manage one of the most iconic organizations in sports. Together, they dive into: Dave’s journey from recruited walk-on to Major League Baseball player and Dodgers managerThe mindset of staying present and “being where your feet are”The leadership lessons behind building culture, managing ego, and making high-pressure decisionsWhat it takes to sustain excellence within one of the top organizations in sportsThe discipline, teamwork, toughness, and resilience that athletics can teachDave’s perspective on championship moments, including winning as both a player and managerDave also shares why he chose to get a CoreViva whole-body MRI scan and how the experience gave him valuable information about his long-term health. As a cancer survivor and former athlete, he explains why having more insight matters, from cancer screening and brain health to joint health, arthritis, and degenerative changes from years of athletics. “For me, I like information. I’m a cancer survivor. Whatever markers there might be, if I get that information before, then we can deal with it before it’s too late.” This episode is a powerful reminder that success is built through grit, preparation, humility, and the willingness to keep learning. Whether on the field, in leadership, or in your own health journey, understanding your body and taking action early can help you make more informed decisions for the future.
