If you’re in the Philadelphia area, you’ve likely heard the last name Amaro. Dave’s bother Ruben, as of this post, is the GM of the Philadelphia Phillies. Dave Amaro runs an extremely successful baseball organization known at the Philadelphia Bandits Baseball Club. Success comes in many forms, and what the Bandits are Dave are most known for is producing top caliber student-athletes. Not just students of the game, but students in the classroom, and life in general.  Baseball scholarships do not come in the form of “full athletic rides,” but Dave’s Bandits club has saved parents thousands of dollars each year by prepping players to become the most well rounded student-athletes they can be, many times over resulting in academic scholarships. In this episode, we get into that and:

  • Showcases: To attend or not attend?
