Bobby Zavala
Coaches, mentors, and voices who have sat across the mic with Bobby.

"I never coached basketball. I coached people. The basketball was just the door."
Ray has built three state championship programs and sent over 40 kids to college on athletic scholarships. His honest, no-nonsense approach to faith in sports sparked one of the most listened debates in Home Team history.
"I do not agree with Bobby on everything. That is exactly why this show works."
Dr. Reeves specializes in athlete burnout, identity development, and the psychological impact of early sports specialization. Her research has changed the way hundreds of programs approach youth development.
"We are taking 9-year-olds and treating them like professionals. We are skipping childhood."
Marcus coached Division I basketball for 14 years before writing one of the most honest books about youth athletics ever published. He now consults with programs across the country on holistic player development.
"The field is the classroom. Every rep is a lesson. The question is what you are actually teaching."
