Daniel Day, Performance Specialist & Consultant - CRFTD Athlete (@crftd.athlete),

Daniel Day is a sports performance specialist and founder of CRFTD Athlete. With a background in biomechanics and data-driven training from his time at P3 Sports Science, Daniel has spent more than a decade working with elite athletes across the NBA, MLB, and professional volleyball. Since launching CRFTD Athlete in 2022, his primary focus has been in professional soccer, supporting players competing in the Premier League, Ligue 1, and Serie A.

Daniel designs holistic high-performance frameworks that integrate strength and conditioning, recovery strategies, and mindset coaching.
