Coach David - Athlete, Coach, Biggest kid you’ll ever meet…
Coach David is a Nationally Certified Coach who has played nearly every sport and has represented Canada on the international stage in rugby (advancing to the semi-professional level in that sport).
As an athlete, you’ll see kids interact and mimic him so they can execute those same skills physically in the gym or on the field.
As a coach, you’ll see Coach David create an air of excitement and positivity that allows kids to develop their skills under different circumstances at their own pace. He will also adapt and deliver drills and skills designed to have the child experience improvement, which is essential in building their confidence and developing a deeper passion for practicing and learning.
As a big kid, he’ll apply his own creativity, imagination and general goofiness to keep kids engaged and having fun by using videogames, princesses and superheroes as reference.
Coach David - Bio
Born and raised in Burlington, Coach David’s lifelong interest in sports is only matched by his desire in working and promoting active lifestyles for kids. In high school, Coach David played football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, wrestled and played for the rugby team, (later coaching both junior girl’s and boy’s teams there). His talents in rugby took him to the Provincial and National level and would eventually take him to Scotland where he played semi-professionally for two years.
Coach David’s unique sense of creativity and fun loving spirit is why both kids and parents are drawn to Coach David, but his athletic sensibilities and “progression-based” methodology actually helps kids develop some of the more fundamental skills used in sports.
Never one to sit idle, Coach David is still very active in the local rugby community and has most recently taken up skating and playing hockey to round out his athletic pursuits.
Parents and kids alike are excited to see Coach David pursue this new venture, developing a kids multi-sport program in a style that is uniquely his own.
