Meet Coach Dave
My Vision
At Palm Coast Academy, we welcome athletes of all ages, from 6 to 60, helping each individual unlock their full potential and achieve their goals while playing the sport they love. Our training is built on the foundation of the 3 P’s: Positivity, Persistence, and Passion.
-
Positivity – Embracing challenges with an optimistic mindset, always seeking the silver lining, even in tough moments.
-
Persistence – Staying committed to training and goals, understanding that true success takes time, dedication, and perseverance.
-
Passion – The driving force that fuels our love for the game, pushing us to be our best both on and off the court while uplifting those around us.
With these core values, we strive to inspire and elevate every athlete we train.
