The Business of Turf w/ Danny Losito
When do you sleep? That was our first question and most important question for Danny Losito, CSFM, Director of Sports Fields & Grounds for the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC. Losito comes to the chat with years of experience in almost every arena of the sports world, including shoveling ice for a local hockey team. His expertise expands far beyond the field. Losito shares with us how he manages it all, the conversions, the budgets, the employees and his love for the job.
Here's what you'll hear in this week's Groundskeeper Chat:
- The art of delegation as a leader
- How the role of the groundskeeper has evolved from Danny's POV
- The need for professionalism
- Engaging the next generation
- Lastly, Weston's Weather Report and The London Games
A little bit more about our guest:
