Laura Jennings 

Performance & Development Coordinator Scottish Gymnastics Acrobatics Technical Panel

"We brought Daniel up to Scotland to deliver a day full of intense, snappy development camps for different grades. We asked for short sessions which were packed and targeting both the coaches and gymnasts. Prior to the session, Daniel and I spent a large amount of time on the phone talking through the camp to really meet our needs. He comfortably fit everything we were looking for into the session, plus kept all coaches and gymnasts busy. He shared key points for all to apply and also had time to go around all the gymnasts to give specific coaching hints. He even took time in the the breaks to talk to coaches & gymnasts, pose for photographs and sign flags. The feedback from all the coaches was very good, they all enjoyed the sessions and went away having learned something. I was very impressed and will be looking to use him again in future for further activity."

Andrew Fowler

Head of Acrobatic Gymnastics Coach Education for Scottish Gymnastics

"Daniel’s work with our development clinics earlier in the year was fantastic. He worked with a wide variety of levels of gymnasts and was always able to provide useful information and advice for all of the gymnasts attending. I would highly recommend Daniel as an educator/coach for anyone looking into acrobatics, he was very concise in his delivery whilst still allowing time for coaches to input and ask questions. He showed a high level of professionalism especially when he was called upon at last minute. I would recommend Daniel in particular to those coaches who look to prepare their gymnasts for elite level performance and moving upwards from the NDP pathways of acrobatics and on wards to age group levels. His knowledge of progressions and regressions for skills was superb, enabling all gymnasts to be able to be involved in the workshop. His knowledge base is very strong and I was very happy to have worked with him."

Head Acrobatic Gymnastics Coach Irvine Bay GC

"We had Daniel come to our club as part of the Scottish Gymnastics development camp program - he provided three sessions throughout the day, each aimed at gymnasts at various levels from NDP 1 - 6, up to FIG. Each session has a slightly different focus that was appropriate for the skill levels and age of gymnasts. He came across in a friendly manner and the gymnasts enjoyed working with him, seeking the benefit of his experience. In particular, my men's four came away inspired about where they could go in the future if they showed the same dedication that Daniel showed in his gymnastics career. As a coach, it was invaluable to ask Daniel questions and see his refined coaching methods and practices that we have now integrated into our training sessions. In all a great session, and we look forward to welcoming Daniel back in the near future."
