Danny K.

With a background as a collegiate soccer player and six-time marathoner, I am well-equipped to assist you in reaching your next level in soccer. I am currently providing private soccer sessions tailored for one-on-one or small group settings. Excitingly, I will soon be offering run coaching and personalized running plans.

In my coaching career, I have earned my USSF E License and have experience as a youth club-level coach at Apex Soccer Club in Southern California. Additionally, I ran a private soccer training business during my college years.

I have a lifelong passion for soccer, having played since I was 2 years old until just after college. During my youth, I was always on the field, whether it was practice or just playing for fun. My dedication was so strong that until I began my career at Apple, I was fully committed to becoming a professional player or coach. Now, I find myself eager to return to the game and continue to play competitively in a Men’s League in King of Prussia, PA.

In high school, I was a 3-year letter winner and the captain of the varsity team, playing alongside several D1 athletes and the first pick in the MLS draft. At California Lutheran University, I was a starting outside midfielder for most of my collegiate career. Although I had several amateur opportunities, injuries in my junior year coincided with my transition to a career outside of soccer.

Beyond soccer, I’ve developed a love for distance running, completing 6 marathons and numerous shorter races. I have a small micro-influencer presence as @dannyrunsphilly and have been an official Hyland’s Naturals Ambassador for three consecutive years. Additionally, I represent other small brands as an ambassador.

As a father of three, my life experience has enriched my approach to training, offering a dynamic perspective rooted in my personal experiences.

Clients can expect me to focus on three areas of their game:
1. Technical Skill Enhancement: With a family history in college soccer coaching, I’ve learned that exceptional technical skill is essential for players to excel at any position. My goal is to assist each player in developing such a strong connection with the ball that they can focus on the game strategy, confident in their ball control.

2. Conditioning: I have expertise in preparing players to reach their peak performance. As a marathoner and a midfielder on an adult league team, I maintain my own game fitness well into my mid-30s. Clients can anticipate that I will push them physically, both with and without the ball.

3. Positional Skill Specialization: I will customize the session to focus on the skills and development relevant to your current or desired position.

Additionally, I offer discounted rates for groups of 2+ athletes.
