Daniel A.

I have been coaching basketball at the AAU and High School level since 2008, along with training individuals on a personal and group level based on the need at hand for basic level training up through advanced training levels.

For Coaching basketball, I specialize in providing support and foundation for kids as young as 7 years old up to about 18 years of age. My last coaching job with a team was at Steele Canyon High School in 2011. Since moving to the LA area, I have focused primarily on individual player development through personal coaching. I am a teacher of the game as well as a psychological coach from a mental perspective to elevate a player from good to excellent. I have a unique ability to connect with individuals to help them harness their underlying potential and essentially develop skill through their natural ability.

As a Personal Trainer, I have been suiting the needs of clients all throughout the greater LA area for the last 3 years since moving to LA. I have done much of my training via the use of outside parks as well as traveling to a clients' place of residence. I have trained clients all over Hollywood, Burbank, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, West LA etc. I've also done training boot camps as well for larger groups of individuals that prefer that type of environment and support. My motto is that "A bad workout will never compromise a good diet but a bad diet will always make a good workout count."

Standout Basketball player all throughout high school in the Southern area of New Jersey. Was heavily recruited by a number of schools at the D1-AA and D2 levels. Chose to test my luck at walking on at the University of Miami ("The U"); however, I ended up breaking both ankles and spraining an MCL which resulted in surgery.

If you are interested and/or in need for fitness assistance, as I truly and genuinely love helping individuals achieve their goals. I am a very straight forward and honest person and I don't sugar-coat things, but I am very tactful in how I say things to get people motivated. My sessions include a full comprehensive overview of your nutritional intake, non-traditional workout methods tailor suited to your specific body type (everyone's body does not respond the same to any given workout), martial arts infused workouts, and general motivation in life as it may come. I keep things 100% professional. In general, most of my clients train with me 3 times per week, but that can be catered to whomever I am training.

Before I begin training anyone, I always like to meet with them first to discuss their specific fitness goals and iron out a plan of action as to how my expertise can best benefit them to achieve those goals. This meeting is also to establish a commitment from the client to allow myself to push and help them reach these goals as I work very diligently at achieving success. I don't believe in wasting the time of any of my clients that I train, so I require them to give me their all!
