More About Coach Dan
I've coached every age level from 12-under to college. I'm currently the head men's volleyball coach at Marymount University. I've got 11 years of college coaching experience (coupled with 5 years of junior club experience during that time). I was twice named the coach of the year in the NEAC Athletic Conference for women's volleyball (NCAA D-III). I've coached in three college conference championship matches. I assisted Nazareth men's college for two years, we were NCAA National Runner-Up my last season there.
I hold a Safe Sport Coaching Certification (through USA Volleyball), I'm IMPACT Certified (USA Volleyball), and I am currently an NCAA College Coach.
I played 4 years of college volleyball at SUNY New Paltz. I tallied over 1,000 career kills, and was a 4-year starter. I also played multiple positions during my college career. I was named all-conference during my junior year of college.
My experiences coaching all different levels (both women's and men's), makes me an ideal person to train young athletes who are developing. I understand where young athletes currently are in their progress, and the level they want to achieve. I'm well educated on the motor learning, the power of positive coaching, and why young kids play sports. You can expect me to give your child a great session in which they'll be engaged in the learning process, and want to continue their progress in volleyball. I am also well suited to coach adults and more advanced athletes.

The time my daughter spent with Coach Dan was invaluable. He was great at assessing her hitting, passing and serve- receive technique and then helping her understand where to make adjustments to improve each skill. He was excellent at looking at her as an individual player and being able to spot her strengths and weaknesses and then working with her on a number of things that will help her take her game to the next level. She came away excited to have specific things to work on to improve her game. I highly, highly recommend Coach Dan.

Coach Dan was a great coach! Was able to provide a lot of advice and direction to my daughter that helped immediately improve her passing, hitting and serving technique. Coaches in a way that encourages players to think about and internalize the "why" behind their technique. Highly recommend.

Very positive experience! Coach Dan was super encouraging and provided a useful diagnosis for challenges—and step by step adjustments. Really good use of time! Thanks.
Jingjing (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan is very patient. My daughter will play U12 in the coming season and she only has 1 year experience with club volleyball. Coach Dan took the time to teach basic skills and volleyball mechanism. My daughter not only can go through all basic skills in one session, but also can focus on the skill that needs to be sharpened.
Carl (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan is excellent! His direction, patience, and knowledge helped my game! I noticed huge improvements during our first session and can't wait to continue improving my volleyball game.
Jamal (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan was excellent! With just one session he was able to correct a few things with my daughter's swing and approach. She shows much more confidence on the court and now more of her kills are going over the net than into the net. I would HIGHLY recommend his services!
Neil (CoachUp client)
Opened my eyes a lot and learned how to play the game better in ways I wouldn't have gotten on my own. Great coach would recommend.

I learned a lot after just one session with Coach Dan. His coaching style for me at least was "learn by doing" which I really appreciated. The drills he ran me through simulated what I would see in-game which makes the learning more easily transferable to actual play. Got in a lot of reps and went over many aspects of my game in a single hour. He gave me several good cues to think about and identified shortcomings in my technique that I would not have been able to discover on my own. Coach Dan was a lot of fun to work with and I look forward to learning from him more.
Derek (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan was just what we were looking for to help my daughter in her development. Looking forward to his practices.

Coach Dan was a great Coach, he was on time and focused on the needed areas of improvement for my daughter. Coach Dan pointed out the areas she needed strength in and concentrated the training in those areas. I could see improvement in the first training session.
Elisabeth (CoachUp client)
Dan is a fantastic one-on-one coach. He is super observant and zeroes in during each session on exactly what my daughter needs to adjust, and helps her really understand how to do it. This results in noticeable improvement each time.
Dan is high energy and fun, and really engages the player in the learning process by asking lots of questions and providing tons of feedback during sessions. We will definitely keep working with Dan.
Adriaan (CoachUp client)

Dan is a terrific coach. He helped my daughter think strategically in her role as a setter. I highly recommend him to volleyball players, young and old, looking to elevate their game.
John (CoachUp client)
Dan has done a great job working with our daughter on fundamentals. He is skilled at making small tweaks in form that deliver substantial improvements in performance.
Tanya (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan was great with my 14 year old daughter. He was professional, patient, and his instructions were very easy to understand. He was able to quickly assess some adjustments my daughter needed to make in her serving technique and hitting strategy. My daughter was able to apply what she learned immediately and saw improvement in her next high school game. I definitely will continue to utilize Coach Dan as a training resource for my daughter. I strongly recommend his services.

Don (CoachUp client)
The advice Coach Dan gave my High School daughter was right on point. He saw areas that needed adjustment and he not only made those suggestions ... he took her input as to why she was doing it a certain way and then justified his corrections. His workout was not only intense ... it was informative and exactly what she was looking for in a mid season tune up. We will definitely request him again and is highly recommended for anyone else!!
Uyanga (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan is very professional and worked very well with my daughter. He packs in a lot of information in one session and my daughter improves a lot after every session. I would highly recommend.

My daughter was preparing for her school's volleyball tryouts. She needs a coach, since it's the first time she plays volleyball. I found this page in internet. Coach Dan has very good comments , besides been close. The clases were on time and he was very effective preparing my daughter for tryouts. Valentina was accepted into the team. We definitely recommended coach Dan.

Rock star coaching. Thx!
Vickie (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan worked with my high school daughter today. He quickly assessed her skill level, and then began running drills to reinforce proper technique. By the end of the two hour session, my daughter was showing improvement in hitting, serving and passing. He has a great style working with students, quickly putting them at ease. Dan provided frequent feedback to help with the small adjustments and listened to my daughter's concerns. We will definitely work with Dan again!
Daniel (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan was fantastic with our 16 year old daughter! Great technique coaching with a focus on fundamentals that she has not had before. She liked that he asked about her goals. During the entire session he was interacting with her and offering tips.

Dan is a great coach with an upbeat attitude who takes his time going over instruction. Dan immediately recognized minor adjustments to make and had various drills to address all parts of the game. It was easy to schedule a session with him. Highly recommend.

He was great with his explanations and even from one session, she improved a lot. thank you, coach Dan. would definitely recommend you to all our friends, who wanted to improve their volleyball skills.
Thaddeus (CoachUp client)
Coach Dan was great! Even after one session I’was able to see improvement in my daughter’s core skills. He was able to identify tiny flaws in her techniques and demonstrate solutions to correct them to build more consistency. He was patient with her and everything moved at a fast pace to maximize the session’s time allotment. I’d definitely recommend him for anyone trying to strengthen their game and take it to the next level.
Michele (CoachUp client)
My daughter immediately took to Coach Dan and told me after the session that "he is the best coach I have had!". He was patient and explained everything in a way that she got it. We are looking forward to working with him again!

Coach Dan did a great job with my daughter. She saw improvement immediately in her next practice and game. Her HS coach even commented on her improvement....he rarely gives compliments. Thumbs up for Coach Dan, my daughter and I would recommend his services.
