Secrets of Infield Grooming – With Chuck White

Ground Etc.

Welcome to our premier episode of the Ground Etc. podcast. This season, we’re talking about all things infield grooming, and today we’re sitting down with a legend in the field: Chuck White.
In our conversation with Chuck White, he gives us his life history, leadership concepts, and tips for leading and developing people, all of which led him to his job at USA Hall of Fame.
Plus, Chuck tells a tale of when two ABI Forces turned a flooded field into a playable one within hours for the World Series.
We’d love to know what you want to see from Ground Etc. going forward. Leave a review on the show or dm us on social with your questions, topic ideas, and feedback. Then follow the show and share it with your friends to keep up with all the new episodes.
