What happens when you pick up soccer for the first time as an adult and decide to go all-in for the World Cup? Zach Duke, also known as "World Cup Dad," shares how a moment of personal rock bottom in 2022 sparked a complete life reset. We talk about how a podcast and a prayer pushed him to start training from scratch, how he balances fatherhood with elite-level goals, and why he's not chasing fame, he's building character and legacy.

On this episode of "Dishin with Dana," we dig into his training schedule, the way he tracks daily habits, and how he's handling both praise and criticism online. Zach shares what keeps him focused, how his family supports him, and why he believes delusional dreams are sometimes the ones worth chasing.

It's not about being perfect or fitting a mold. It's about starting where you are, refusing to quit, and remembering why you started.
