D1 Daily is a curated list of anecdotes and links with an eye towards training. The suggestion box is open.


D1 Training helps young athletes reach their goals, whether it be improving self confidence or reaching that next level in their sport.

Don't believe it? 

Here's testimonials from parents whose children train at D1.

• "My son started with D1 a few months ago. He has always been the slowest in his class, not super strong, and struggling in sports. His confidence was low and would often say he's not strong enough, etc. Since coming to D1, his confidence has grown, his balance, agility and speed has improved, and he has grown so much stronger. He has been more willing to try new things, he feels stronger and has come out of his shell more and more. He enjoys the workouts, he loves the coaches, and he is seeing results in himself."

• "My kids began training after Covid. We can see results overall at home and on the field. We also can see results in pictures over the years, which we as parents understand also helps with self image today with middle and high school students."

• "My son has never worked out a day in his life. Has been playing tackle football for a couple years, and needs to start developing for high school. After the first week, he told me he wants to go four times a week, or as much as possible. I never thought an offensive lineman would want to go work out and condition as much as he does. The instructors are top-notch, they make him feel great about himself and push him to be better."

• "My daughter has always been fit and athletic yet quite thin. She needed to build muscle and strength to best compete at the next level. Not only has she had gains in muscle but she noticed a difference on the court with her endurance being improved as well.  This is a testimony to the well-roundedness of the workouts.  Muscle was the goal but she has had all over gains that benefit her performance."

• "My son has been training at D1 Centennial Hills for the past few months and just started his 2nd flag football season. My proud Dad moment came in a game that he caught a pass just before the half and had to make a few moves to get to the end zone. Our sideline went nuts but for me, I'm thinking that was $$ well spent because the TD came because of his foot work which is a direct result from him going to D1 training."
