Book Private Strength-and-speed Lessons with Coach Daquan

I’m a Strength & Conditioning Coach I help athletes of all levels become faster, stronger, and more explosive through structured, individualized training.

With over 7 years of coaching experience, I’ve worked with youth, high school, collegiate, and adult athletes across multiple sports including football, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse. I was also a multi-sport athlete myself, competing in football, baseball, basketball, and track & field in high school before going on to play college football. That experience allows me to truly understand what athletes need to perform at a high level and stand out in their sport.

My coaching is built on a science-based approach, focusing on movement quality first, making sure athletes move efficiently, safely, and confidently before increasing intensity and load. Every program is tailored to the individual, taking into account their goals, sport demands, mobility, and injury history.

Whether an athlete is just getting started, preparing for their season, or looking to gain a competitive edge, my goal is to help them build confidence, improve performance, and develop habits that translate both on and off the field.

I help athletes improve their game by focusing on speed, strength, and movement efficiency. Through individualized training, I identify weaknesses in mobility, mechanics, and performance, then build a structured plan to improve explosiveness, agility, and overall athleticism. My goal is to help you move better, perform faster, and build the confidence to compete at a higher level.

A typical session starts with a dynamic warm-up focused on mobility, activation, and movement prep to make sure the athlete is moving properly. From there, we move into explosive work and speed development, including sprint mechanics, acceleration, and change-of-direction drills. We then focus on agility and quickness before transitioning into strength training to build power and durability. Sessions finish with core work and conditioning as needed. Every session is individualized based on the athlete’s goals, sport, mobility, and injury history to ensure safe and effective progress.

I am a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with over 6 years of experience helping athletes develop speed, strength, and overall performance. I have worked with athletes ranging from youth to high school, collegiate, professional, and adult levels across multiple sports including football, basketball, baseball, and lacrosse.

As a former multi-sport athlete, I was a 2-year team captain, 2-time Team MVP, and earned All-County honors in football. I went on to receive partial scholarship opportunities at the Division II level and competed for 2 years as a collegiate football player at the Division III level.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Towson University and a Master’s degree in Human & Sport Performance. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), allowing me to apply evidence-based training methods to every athlete I work with.

Throughout my coaching career, I have helped athletes improve speed, explosiveness, and strength while building confidence and preparing for higher levels of competition. My focus is always on long-term development, proper movement, and creating measurable results that translate directly to sport performance.

Growing up in Baltimore, most of my coaches were parents of players, and I never really had a coach who stood out by fully investing in athletes to help them reach their true potential. That experience is a big part of why I coach today.

I’m driven to be the coach I needed when I was growing up, someone who is knowledgeable, intentional, and genuinely invested in each athlete’s development. My goal is to help athletes maximize their potential, build confidence, and create opportunities to compete at the highest level they desire, both on and off the field.

Athletes and parents should know that I take a very intentional and individualized approach to training. I focus on proper movement, technique, and long-term development, not just quick results. Every athlete is coached based on their goals, sport, mobility, and injury history to ensure they are improving safely and effectively. I’m big on communication, accountability, and building confidence, so athletes not only perform better but also understand the “why” behind their training.
