Book Private Mental-performance Lessons with Coach Davier
Davier Daniels, MS, is a Master’s-level counselor. Davier earned his Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Villanova University and his Bachelor's in Psychology at Eastern University. During his time at Villanova, he was able to complete an internship at Saint Joseph’s University, where he was given the opportunity to meet with students to uncover different underlying clinical issues. He was also a resource for student-athletes as they navigated balancing their education and sport. Davier maintains a deep passion for being an advocate for breaking the stigma of mental health in sport. As a former athlete, Davier has had his own struggles with performance anxiety as a high school varsity basketball player. He has also had experience with another major issue in sport psychology, unexpected retirement. After being recruited to play Division III basketball, unfortunately Davier was left with the difficult choice of a full tuition scholarship or playing basketball. Davier decided to choose the former and continue his journey in sport in a different capacity. Davier also has a recorded single called “Without You.” He sings and leads worship at his local church, which gives him experience with performance in the arts. Because performance anxiety is something he has had to work through in his own life, he believes he is better equipped to help others. Davier believes in providing holistic care to the athlete and to meet them where they are. His counseling style includes a person centered approach, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Davier has an interest in working with all kinds of athletes at any and every level. The goal is to not only help the athlete become the best version of themselves, but to also help the individual grow and develop into the human being they were always meant to be.

About Me:
High school varsity basketball player and recruited to play Division III basketball
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by teaching them skills to elevate their mental performance. Performance can be enhanced by engaging in psychological skills training and learning that the brain is a muscle that can be trained and taught.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session can be virtual or in person and will range between 45 and 50 minutes. The training session will be primarily up to the athlete in regards to what we work on. It is a collaborative process where I believe the athlete is the author of their own story, so the direction of the session will be based on their needs.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have experience with mental performance coaching with athletes of all ages, across all sports on varying levels.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was an assistant coach I had in high school. He was able to teach the game in a unique way that was relatable to everyone. He also did a great job at connecting with players and pulling out the best in them.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I have experienced many things as an athlete, that I am now able to treat through mental performance coaching. The goal is not just to assist the athlete in becoming a better athlete, but also to help them see how these skills are transferrable and can help you become a better individual. As a mental performance coach, the process is collaborative and we are all on the same team with a common goal which is helping everyone become the best version of themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
