Danny Stevens


Summary

I have been coaching since I was 16 years, starting as the u14 assistant coach for Plymouth Raiders, before having to quickly become the head coach. I started coaching to give back to the club and sport and fell in love with. From here I went to university to study sports coaching. I have coached all the way from grassroots to professional basketball.

I am passionate about coaching as I can see the positive nature of sports on a person life. To see athletes improve and achieve as they grow as players is a real passion of mine.

As a coach I believe my philosophy is to bring enjoyment for the player as well as a hard working attitude. I want to see every player having a smile on their face, while always giving their all to improve and to the team no matter what is happening on court
