David Genest is from France and is bilingual. His baseball pitching career took place mostly in France, in a small club in Savoie whose human values compensated for the lack of means. However, his performances earned him an invitation to join the baseball program at Pomona College in California (1993), a place in a European selection for the Charlie Rose Baseball tour in California and being among the first Frenchmen to try out professionally (Reno Chuckars 1996).

The desire to coach quickly became obvious. In 1994, David obtained his professional coaching certificate from the French Ministry of Sports. This diploma validates his knowledge in biology, physiology, psychology, pedagogy and baseball-softball technique.

In addition to regional podiums with his Savoyard teams, he led his U15 team to the quarter finals of the French baseball championship. In 1999, he led the women's softball team of the city of Lyon to the title of Vice-Champion of France. At that time he was the only French member of the American Baseball Coach Association.

His involvement allowed him to become an assistant recruiter for the Atlanta Braves for several years.

Since his first trip to the USA in 1993, David has crossed the Atlantic several times to coach in different structures, learning new techniques along the way. He has coached for the Montreal Titans, for the Derek Aucoin tour and more recently for the Central Ontario Reds.

Immigrating to Ontario with his family since 2018, David is a NCCP regional competition coach level and has specialized over the years in biomechanics and motor preference approach. David is certified as a Expert in motorskills preferences by Volodalen and also a specialist of primary reflex.

In 2020, he joined the Angels staff as a Technical Consultant.
