Larry D.

Nina (CoachUp client)

Coach Larry was amazing and completely professional. He was waiting for us when we walked in the door, and he greeted us warmly. My son is 17 and has a good, overall skill set, but Coach Larry was able to quickly assess and identify the areas in his game that need adjustments for overall improvement. Coach Larry has both a personable demeanor and a strong presence. He is a very valuable resource, because his knowledge of the game is second to none. After one session, my son and I knew that he will be a great partner and one with the ability to bring out the best in any player at any level. We look forward to working with Coach Larry again very soon.

Coach Larry was very straight forward and so helpful within an hour...he's a coach that knows what he is doing...and fortunately doesn't cut any slack whatsoever. I highly recommend him. The great thing about it is this is my first session so I know for sure he will make me a dominate player and help me improve. 5 stars!

To whomever that reads this review, please consider Coach/Trainer Larry D to help you with your game. This guy is valuable. I had a great workout session yesterday with Coach Larry. He was intentional, established direction, recognized my weaknesses and gave proper basketball drills that would improve my game. I liked the fact the that Coach Larry is encouraging, but yet won't allow corners to be cut. If I was not properly doing a technique, then there was no "it's alright, lets go to the next drill, or that shot will count". I had to do it until I got it correct. I like people like that. He encouraged, challenged, and conditioned through drills all in one hour. There's no doubt that I will be booking again. Coach, if you read this, thank you for your time and I am looking forward to meeting up again soon.

Coach Daniels is a great basketball coach. I tend to struggle using my left hand while playing basketball, as my right hand is my dominant. Coach Daniels trains me to use my left hand while dribbling and making lay-ups. He gives constructive criticism on shooting form, and encourages me to keep trying until I reach my goal. He has many successful students, and I am on my way to becoming one of them under Coach Daniels. I definitely recommend Coach Daniels for basketball lessons.

Wendy Sinclair Bundaberg Team Manager (Testimonial)

I had the privilege of being the Team Manager for Head Coach Larry D during the 2016 Queensland  Basketball League season.  Out of all of the Coaches that I have managed teams for over the past 10 years, Coach Larry D was by  far the most Experienced, Professional and dedicated Coach of them all. His knowledge of the game  and his ability to read his players strengths and weaknesses are outstanding. His training sessions  were always meticulously planned and well structured. Improvements in his players weaknesses  were evident after only a few training sessions.  Coach Larry D’s dedication and passion for the game of basketball extend beyond his Coaching  ability and into Mentorship of his Players. He is a fantastic Mentor and role model to a large number  of players.   I would have no hesitation in recommending Coach Larry D as both an Individual Coach and/or Team  Head Coach. 

Jordan Annor / Professional Basketball from Australia (Testimonial)

Coach Larry is a great basketball coach. I have been coached by him for a season in the Queensland Basketball League. I have been through many 1 hour skill sessions with Coach Larry as well as team trainings. He is a coach that is experienced and knows what he is doing which gave me a lot of confidence when playing under him.  Not only has he helped me develop as a player through skill but also in my understanding of the game. I highly recommend Coach Larry as a basketball coach. JORDAN ANNOR

Nate (Testimonial)

I would like to say that I really didn’t know what to expect going into the Jr. High basketball season this year. After all, K. hasn’t really played basketball other than one time in an Upward league; so I was quite surprised when she told me she was playing this year. It was really hard for her at first, and she wanted to quit after the first week or so. But Coach D. kept telling her just to focus on the skills he was teaching them in practice and they would soon see big improvements. This is exactly what happened. It seemed an overnight revelation took place, and a light bulb turned on somewhere in the girls minds, and all of a sudden they were pretty good, and having fun too! Coach D. knew what he was doing and was able to communicate his knowledge and skills to the girls as well as motivate them into becoming better team players. Coach D. definitely has a gift for coaching as he’s proven that with Kendall’s team. Coach D. will be successful coaching at any level because he has that gift. I wish all of the best for Coach Daniels.
