Lafave has finally handed in his stopwatch in hopes of moving up in the world of college coaching. Serving as the assistant coach to head coach Shea Davisson for the past two years, he is leaving the team behind with new traditions to carry out in the years to come. His fellow athletes lovingly called him “Lil Dicky” due to his resemblance to the famous American rapper, and he will be forever remembered for his epic freestyle rap during the team’s training trip in 2018.
And finally, Lafave will go down in DePauw University history for his famous “three-piece nugget” pep talk before the big Washington University swim meet in 2016. As you can see, assistant coaches leave a mark in their own quirky ways.
He would certainly recommend this job to new coaches for many reasons, two of which are gaining recruiting experience and writing workouts. “A lot of assistant coaches don’t get to recruiting, which was a huge skill that I learned from the job. I also gained a lot of experience in writing sets, because I was able to write workouts consistently for the same group.”
