Coach Danielle is INCREDIBLE! After just one session, my daughter is begging for more! Coach Danielle made an immediate connection, focused on the fundamental skills that would help her crush her game, and gave her the confidence and motivation to step out of her comfort zone!! We can’t wait for our next session!!!
Trish (CoachUp client)
My son was seeking a trainer to help him get back to soccer shape for his upcoming college season. We were very happy to have found Coach Danielle. We were most impressed she was able to tailor his training to exactly what he needed to focus on in order to improve his overall performance. After the training, my son is motivated and confident for his upcoming season. Thanks again Coach Danielle!
Wendy (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle was exactly what my 15yp daughter needed to get her on track for the upcoming soccer season. She focused on what my daughters goals were and was quick to provide her with guidance for achieving them. My daughter left the 1:1 session feeling motivated and inspired. Coach Danielle runs her drills with endless positive energy, a ton of real-time feedback and with clear guidance for what to do to improve. We will definitely be coming back for more.
Lou (CoachUp client)
Danielle was awesome, she spent time getting to know my daughter while evaluating her strengths and working on drills. Great coach and looking forward to the next session
Steve (CoachUp client)
My daughter really enjoyed her first session with Coach Danielle. Coach spent quality time understanding my daughter's strengths, opportunities for improvement and goals. My daughter had practice later that same night and I actually saw her apply a few of the techniques and moves. We have signed up for more training sessions for the summer.
Lee (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle did a great job helping my 14 year old daughter identify weaknesses with soccer basics that will help build her into a better player. Team practices are great but the one on one coaching was exactly what my daughter needed to find areas to work on. Coach Danielle was able to evaluate my daughter's skill level within a few minutes of meeting her and tailored the session to her needs. My daughter said she wants to have more sessions to work on increasing her abilities and skill sets.
Jill (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle took her time during her three sessions with my daughter to reinforce the basics that she needed. After a hiatus from playing, my daughter was anxious to try out for a new club. After touching the ball with Coach Danielle for two sessions, she had the confidence needed to show up at tryouts without any fear and played to the best of her abilities.
Alexander (CoachUp client)
Excellent Session with Coach Danielle. Focused on areas that girls wanted to improve most with meaningful and thorough drills specific to those areas, and video review so the girls could review technique and see for themselves. Coach Danielle was very engaging, they enjoyed the session and was a super positive experience.
Heather (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle is great with the players. She combines fun with rigorous training to keep the kids interested and developing. After only one session, our daughter felt that she learned valuable skills that she could put to use in her next game.
Frank (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle was great! Instant connection with my daughter (15 y/o).She kept the pace up and got her work hard and think about the little things. Highly recommend her!
Jim (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle was awesome from the first introduction. She was able to immediately connect with my daughter who is 11 and shy. My daughter was excited and energized the entire session and left energized for the next one. I couldn’t recommend Danielle more strongly!
John (CoachUp client)
I wanted my granddaughter, age 9, to enjoy soccer and thought one on one training (beyond parent coaching) would be beneficial. Coach Danielle did a nice job, interacted well with my granddaughter and was able to provide instruction to her for some important basic techniques. I appreciated the instruction and my granddaughter liked it a lot! Win-win. THX

Coach Danielle was fantastic! My daughter instantly felt comfortable with her. She had a game plan specifically designed for our needs and created a fun environment for our session. She went above and beyond to fit us into her schedule. We look forward to our next few sessions.
Greg (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle worked with my daughters (13 and 11) for the first time today. They came off the field energized and ready to keep practicing at home! It was really exciting to see them come away with great ideas for things they do in between sessions to continue to build the skills and understanding of the sport.

This was our first experience with Coach Danielle. Coach Danielle truly understands how to assess a player and start building a foundation for future success. I have no doubt that Coach Danielle will help my daughter improve as a soccer player. I wish I would have found Coach Danielle sooner, but as the saying goes, "better late than never!"

Connected quickly with my 11 year old daughter. Danielle has a great rapport with kids and I wouldn't hesitate to use her for a son too. She incorporated our feedback to tailor drills that addressed the areas my daughter would like to improve. Subsequent sessions she had already reviewed her prior notes so built upon prior consultations. Lots of on ball drills to improve touch, speed and agility. We HIGHLY recommend Danielle.
Chip (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle did a great job with my 8 year old. My child just started soccer, and feels behind other kids. Coach Danielle did a great job showing her drills and skills to work one. My child cannot wait for the next training session.
Greg (CoachUp client)
We booked 5 training sessions with Coach Danielle over the summer - which proved very worthwhile for our daughter heading to high school soccer. She taught her drills that she could do on her own as well as ones that we could do together. In addition, she spent time preparing her for the preseason routine and fitness regimen. Coach is positive and a great role model for aspiring athletes. All good!
Sean (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle was great! She came out and ran a three day mini camp for our new U11 Travel Team. She had amazing interactions with all of the players. She very well prepared with practice plans that met the needs we were looking for. My players told me they learned a lot working with Coach Danielle. I would have her come and work with my team anytime.
Matthew (CoachUp client)
Coach Danielle was awesome, she was able to get my stubborn 12 year old daughter to come out of her shell and listen to her instructions. I've never seen my daughter so excited after a each session wanting to work on what she learned during her session. This has translated to an improved performance and attitude with her current travel team. I would highly recommend Danielle for any soccer player that wants or needs to get to next level.
Christina (CoachUp client)
Danielle was a pleasure to work with. My daughter needed work with improving her ball skills and with establishing a habit of practicing on her own a regular basis. It was really helpful for my daughter to have someone else other than her regular coaches or "dad" giving her lessons/drills and Danielle had her focussed and putting forth her best effort. I appreciated her ability to evaluate my daughters skills and develop a customized plan that was based on her specific needs - something that you just can't get in a regular soccer practice. From my daughters point of view, she feels more empowered now that she has the tools she needs to continue to improve her ball skills. Danielle also does phone sessions and its always nice to know that she is just a phone call away especially when you are trying to navigate the sometimes confusing world of soccer. I would highly recommend Danielle if you need coaching for your child.

While Kennedy is in the early stages of her learning from Coach Danielle, we are thrilled. She comes home happy and very eager to schedule her next session. Coach is extremely communicative with us, detailing notes of progress after each session. Could not be happier with our well researched choice to align our daughter with Coach Danielle!
Reena (CoachUp client)
My son loves Coach Danielle and he has learnt a lot and he has improved a lot.

David Mohr, Parent (Testimonial)
Great coaching stems from the combination of personal skills and the ability to actually teach those skills and strategies to players. Danielle truly excels at coaching. Her ability to teach my daughter and effectively communicate with her over the past 3 years has undoubtedly helped my daughter to successfully play at the highest of levels.
John O'Rourke, Technical Rep and Director of Coaching for KwikGoal (Testimonial)
Danielle possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge both on and off the field. Any players or clubs who come under her tutelage will benefit enormously.
Jill Hutchinson, 2-Time All American at Conestoga HS, First Team ACC at Wake Forest Graduated 2010 (Testimonial)
Danielle set a positive tone from day one with her preparedness and organization. Her constant focus on fundamentals and team play allowed us to develop into a solid, motivated team, exceed expectations and have a truly outstanding season.
Murphee Greeley, Former Conestoga HS 4-Year Varsity Player, Captain & 2-Time State Champion and Former Lehigh University 4-Year Player and Captain (Testimonial)
When I played for DanielIe, I knew that I had a coach that I could trust and a coach that invested a lot of time and effort into our team. She makes her players want to live up to all the high expectations she has for them and motivates them to reach those expectations every day. “
James Staples, Parent (Testimonial)
I've known Danielle for more than 20 years. As a former high school teacher and coach, I see her as a tremendously talented coach--one of the best--who truly understands how to work with children and teens to get the most out of them. She knows how to put players through the paces of a training session while making it fun--so much so that they don't realize how much they are learning and how hard they are working! “
Bill Fisher, Director at United Soccer Academy (Testimonial)
Danielle has coached at our Soccer, Speed, and Strength Camps and in Europe with our international programs. She is the ultimate professional, always prepared, knows the game inside and out, runs great sessions, and just importantly does a great job with the players, both on and off the field. Her commitment and dedication to the game and to the players is unwavering.
Rose Lyght, Former College Teammate, Coach and Parent (Testimonial)
Danielle has an outstanding knowledge of the game from both a player’s and a coach’s perspective. Having played with her, played for her and coached with her, I have seen her complete understanding of the game. She understands how to maximize her team’s strength and minimize their weaknesses as well as exploit the weaknesses of the opposing team in order to be competitive in every game. She is able to make adjustments during a game to put her players in the best position possible. Having played and coached Division I college soccer, Danielle has experienced the game in the most competitive arena and is able to pass that competitive experience onto her players during both practices and games. On top of her knowledge and experience of the game, Danielle has a great rapport with her players and understands the issues that go along with being a young female athlete. She has dedicated herself to coaching in order to help her players reach their full potential as athletes but more importantly as people.
