So far so good. Coach Daniel is knowledgeable and patient and knows what he is doing. He is helping my son improve his running form. We just started but I feel good about it!

We are extremely pleased with the training and attention to detail our son Emmitt received from Coach Daniel. We booked only a single session at first, but quickly scheduled 10 more. Our son felt improvement in the first hour and has been bragging to his soccer buddies about his private running coach. We are very happy to have found Coach Daniel and are looking forward to him helping Emmitt take his game to the next level.

Coach Daniel came prepared. He observed my son and immediately adjusted his plan. He listened to what we wanted and tailored the workout to fit our objectives. Coach Daniel relates well with our 12 year old and explains why they are doing the drills in a way our son understands. I am extremely happy that we found coach Daniel.
