More About Coach Donnie
For over 30 years, I have dedicated myself to coaching and training athletes across multiple sports, starting my journey as a volunteer high school basketball coach.
My experience spans a broad age range, having coached both boys and girls from age 5 to 25. This background has given me unique insight into developmental stages and training methodologies for different groups.
I currently specialize in football athlete training. I work with both male and female football players, ranging from Kindergarten/grade school level all the way up through college athletes. My focus is on developing the foundational skills and advanced techniques necessary for success in the sport.
High School All-American and consensus top-3 national QB with 100+ college offers. Attended Georgia Tech on a full athletic scholarship, earning Team MVP and Co-Captain honors. Made Georgia Tech history as the first QB to rush for 100 yards and pass for 100 yards in the same game. Concluded playing career as the Arena Football League Arena Bowl MVP (Arena Football's Super Bowl), defeating eventual NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner and his team for the championship.
A typical session with me is a dynamic, high-rep, and focused hour-long workout designed to replicate the demands of game speed. As an experienced coach and former elite QB, my focus is on blending high-level technique with speed and precision.

Client Reviews
T. Shapiro / Parent (Testimonial)
My son started working with DINAO Sports Camps and Training when he was in 4th grade, and now, two years later, the difference in his game is remarkable. When we first started, he had natural talent, but he lacked the fundamental technique and body mechanics necessary for safe and effective play. DINAO’s coaches immediately provided the focused, age-appropriate instruction he needed. Over the past two seasons, we've seen immense growth. He is significantly faster and more agile, which we credit to their targeted speed and conditioning drills. His understanding of the game has skyrocketed; he’s not just reacting—he's reading plays and making smart decisions, whether he’s on offense or defense. His strength and conditioning have visibly improved, leading to greater confidence on the field and reducing the risk of injury. DINAO is more than just a training camp; they are truly invested in developing the whole player. We look forward to seeing how he continues to grow with DINAO's guidance over the next several years!
Τ. Weaver / Educator and Mentor (Testimonial)
DINAO Sports Camps and Training was the key to unlocking my potential. Their focused program didn't just improve my skills; it taught me intelligent athleticism and advanced tactical awareness, making me a strategic leader on the field. Crucially, DINAO also stressed the 'Student' part of my journey, helping me develop the time management and study habits needed to maintain a high GPA alongside intense training. This holistic preparation—elite training plus strong academic support—resulted in me earning a full athletic scholarship to a Division I university. DINAO didn't just train me; they built the foundation for my future.
