More About Coach Danielle

Hi my name is Danielle Gant, I graduated from Putnam City west High School in 2005. I had the opportunity to play for Texas A&M University. I played at Texas A&M for four years. After completing my four years at Texas A&M I was selected number 16 in the 2009 WNBA draft. I had the opportunity to play in my first game, but then everything came to an end. I was cut from the team the day after my first game. I never gave up so again I worked hard to get a chance to play overseas in Istanbul Turkey for two years. After my time in Istanbul, I decided to get back to work, so I jumped on the first opportunity to play in Puerto Rico. After my stay in Puerto Rico, I became the assistant coach at Carl Albert State College for a year.
I had so many flaws in my game my freshman year in college, and now I look back on my high school career, and wonder how I could have changed some of my flaws. I am now located in Dallas Texas. I am ready to give the next athlete the workout they will need for the next level, weather its middle school students or high school students. Every athlete has flaws and that is why I am taking the time out to help those student athletes fulfill their dreams.

My goal is to help provide children with a firm skill set and knowledge of the game. In my individual workouts I will meet each individuals personal goals and prepare them for the next level.

My session plan is based on each individual client. I work on ball handling with every client, I strongly feel as though each athlete should be able to dribble, and that includes each and every post player. IF you have a indoor facility I am willing to travel to you. I currently train my clients outside depending on the weather.

Coach Danielle is great! Very patient and our daughter responds to her well!

Great coach!

Great and very patient

Coach Danielle is an amazing coach and trainer! 2 sessions in and I’m seeing improvements. She asked what it was that we were looking to work on and has focused on that in addition to building on additional skills. She’s very patient and has made my daughter wanting to continue working hard. Looking forward to the next sessions!

Coach Danielle was very patient and through with the workout. She challenged my son and got him out of his comfort zone. Will be scheduling more sessions.

Danielle did a great job of helping our daughter work on some different skills. She was patient and encouraging. We’re excited to work with her more in the future!

Coach Danielle was very professional and encouraging. She encouraged my daughter to not he intimidated by the height or size of her competitors. My daughter enjoyed her workout with Coach Danielle and was able to articulate not only what skills she learned but also the purpose of those skills. We will continue to work with Coach Danielle.

Coach Danielle was great! She evaluated my daughter and helped us with coming up with a plan to refine her skills! We are excited to meet again!

Danielle was awesome!!

Coach Danielle does an excellent job of explaining a variety of skills the athlete needs to work on and giving them the training/understanding to improve.

Coach Danielle made a plan specific to my daughter's needs, and in only one session my daughter picked up 4-5 applicable skills to continue her development as a player. Coach Danielle also took the time to answer EVERY question my daughter had. We were impressed!

So sad to see her leave

Coach Danielle is great. Super patient and a fantastic coach. She works on exactly what you need and fixes as you go, always a lot of momentum during the session which creates a lot momentum outside the session.

Danielle is an amazing coach. We just got done with our first session. She has been more helpful in this one session then any of my son's previous coaches. She is very knowledgable and tailors the workout to the client's needs. I highly recommend her as a private coach!

Great coach!!! She is very knowledgeable and works great with kids. I would recommend coach Danielle to anyone!

COACH D WAS REALLY GOOD!!!! I CAN TELL MY DAUGHTER WAS IN GOOD HANDS....COACH DANIELLE REALLY KNEW HERE STUFF.....THANK YOU COACH D!!!!MY DAUGHTER CANT WAIT TO TRAIN WITH YOU AGAIN!!!!WE'LL SEE YOU VERY SOON.....THANK GOD FOR COACH DANIELLE!!!!!!!!!!

She jumped right in with our son, and he has already made progress on the court after 2 sessions!

Our daughter is new to the game and has a lot to learn. Danielle really broke it down for her and has her excited for the next session.

My child loved Danielle and looking forward to her next session! Not only was Danielle very patient and informative her passion for the game is outstanding. My child talked about the session all the way home on what she learned. :) can't wait to see what she learns next.

(no details provided)

Our boys are new to basketball and Danielle really pushes them to learn the important basic skills. While we see that they get tired during a session, they enjoy learning and improving their techniques.

Excellent 1st lesson with our 11y/o daughter. Will definitely be booking another lesson.

My son really enjoyed his session with Danielle and has been working on her suggestions for improvement. He can't wait for his next session.

Danielle is an amazing skills coach and trainer. After just 1 session it was obvious her level of expertise and I saw immediate improvement and a boost of confidence in my daughter! I highly recommend Danielle for anyone wanting to step their game up to the next level. I got to see her briefly work with kids of varied ages which takes a unique skill set. Very pleased with the results!

She was great she helped my 13 uear old daughter built her confidence in one training.

Great workout!

Bay only missed one of her free shots at her games yesterday and she said she made them because of what you taught her!

Great coach! We will definitely be getting more sessions! Thank you Coach Gant and Love!

Such a difference in 1 session! We will be going back! My 12 yo son was so excited after the lesson, he has practiced the drills every day since!

My grandson who is 10 has just had one session but felt like he really learned a lot to improve his game. She addressed his ball handling skills as well as his shooting technique which has improved his shooting and confidence already. We immediately booked three more sessions. She was motivating and very encouraging definitely worth the investment.

My son has completed two sessions and already he has significantly improved his skills and confidence during the game.

She was great. I have a very shy daughter who just needs a lot of court time... I thought Danielle was great with her. I hope these 10 lessons will not only give her more court time but also some real catch up how to just "play". thanks

Quick responses. My daughter had a great session and came home excited to show me what she could do!! :))

Her patience and ability to drive my kid and not let her get inside her own head was amazing!

Danielle is incredible! My son says these are the best workouts he has had. He looks forward to every session and can't wait for the next.

Coach Danielle was great. We would have scheduled another session with her, but the location was way to far out for us. She is great though!

Coach Danielle is awesome!! My on had a great time going through her drills!

Great first session. I know she can get Allison to the next level.

Excellent coach, finds weaknesses quickly and starts to work on fixing them. Would strongly recommend.

We liked Danielle right off the bat. We already see a big inprovement in our daughter's playing. Danielle is a great coach and my daughter is always excited to train with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Excellent coach, excellent drills, excellent workout. Loved it from start to finish. All my son wants to know is when is the next one. Very inspired.

Coach Danielle is the best. Upon meeting her I really liked her. This is our third session and she has shown my daughter great technique and is very encouraging. She has actually improved! My daughter has never been taught like this before and am looking forward to our other sessions with Coach Danielle.

I liked her the minute I saw her. She showed my daughter some basic ball handling skills that no one else ever has. Noticed improvement with free throws after first session-Brittneys Mom

I like how she noticed things that nobody picked up on. she works you hard and encourages you to do better and keep pushing!! -britt

Alex learned so much in just one session.
Would definitely recommend Coach Danielle to anyone and will be back to work with her!

Coach Danielle was exactly what my daughter needed! She brought the skills and drills to help my daughter reach the next level. Would most definitely recommend Danielle to anyone!!

Coach Danielle is great! She has wonderful techniques to teaching my daughter. My daughter has already improved in many ways, just after a couple of sessions. I would definitely recommend coach Danielle. She is awesome!

Danielle was absolutely amazing! She worked with 2 of my daughters and the end result was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again soon!

We appreciate all your hard work!! Daughter is getting more confidence in her shooting. Glad you are teaching her footwork, she has never been shown any. We can see her play has improved in her games. Thank you!!

Danielle has been extremely helpful in developing my son's basketball skills. Her skills and knowledge of the game has definitely helped my son learn more about the game of basketball. Since he has been training with Danielle his confidence level has improved extremely. I look forward to continuing our sessions with Danielle and strongly recommend Danielle's training sessions to anyone interested in learning the game of basketball.

We just had our first session with Danielle and she was great. After (1) two hour session our daughter had 100% more confidence and 200% more understanding of the game. Thanks Danielle can't wait for our next couple sessions!

Matt LOVED working out with you and can't wait to come again.
Dolton and Andrew loved the training with DG. Thanks
