This partnership has created unforgettable experiences for thousands of aspiring athletes, offering them the chance to learn and train alongside top professional athletes and D1 Training coaches from coast to coast.

At the heart of this partnership lies a commitment to excellence in youth sports development. D1 has had the opportunity to lead dynamic warm-ups, conduct dedicated drills, and engage with young athletes in their local communities. This hands-on experience is more than just improving athletic skills but is instilling a lifelong passion for sports and fitness in participants. By working closely with professional athletes and receiving expert coaching from D1-trained professionals, young athletes gain invaluable insights and skills that go beyond the playing field.
Reflecting on the transformative impact of participating in FlexWorks Camps, Dimitra Boulos, owner of D1 Training Lake Orion, shared her insights. "Participating in the FlexWork Sports Camps was an amazing experience,” said Boulos. “The association with the athlete elevates our brand, and our coaches had an amazing time serving the youth athletes of our area. It was inspiring to see the love of the game and the dedication to the sport that all of the campers showed."
The involvement of D1 Training coaches at FlexWork Sports camps not only enhances the credibility of the training, but also enriches the overall sports camp experience for participants. Coaches bring their expertise and passion for sports to each camp, fostering a supportive environment where young athletes can thrive and develop both their athletic skills and personal character.
Learning from the Pros
In the realm of youth sports development, there's nothing quite as impactful as witnessing young athletes learn firsthand from the professional athletes they admire. This summer, the collaboration between D1 Training and FlexWork Sports has made these moments possible and set a new standard for mentorship and athletic development across the country.
D1 Training General Manager, Keith Barnes, shared his enthusiasm after participating in several camps this summer. He and his teams from D1 Training locations in Houston, Texas, collaborated with other D1 Training locations in the area to deliver exceptional experiences. "The D1 locations in Houston loved being involved in the FlexWork Sports camps," said Barnes, who oversees D1 Training Sugarland and D1 Training The Woodlands. "Houston Texans players Nico Collins and CJ Stroud were incredibly engaging with the athletes during their two camps. We were honored to contribute to the training of over 1,000 local athletes. We can't wait for the next one."
The presence of professional athletes at these camps goes beyond inspiration; it fosters motivation among young athletes. By interacting directly with their sports heroes, camp attendees gain insights to the mindset and dedication required to excel in sports at the highest levels.
