Why Train With Me?

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.

Athletic Background

Summary of Career and Accomplishments
High school varsity basketball player and recruited to play Division III basketball
Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
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 should athletes and parents know about you?
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.

Coaching Background

Summary of Coaching Background
I have experience with mental performance coaching with athletes of all ages, across all sports on varying levels.
How can you help someone improve their 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 does a typical training session look like?
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.
