Daniel enjoyed football from a young age and played for a number of boys school and youth teams. It was always his passion to be playing the sport he loved. In his mid teens his interest in football freestyle began to take seed and he would rarely be seen without a football at his feet.
Over the last few years Daniel has honed and perfected his football freestyle skills, as well as developing his own unique freestyle style. Daniel’s football freestyler performances offer more than simply football freestyle as he takes inspiration from other creative art forms, such as break dancing and gymnastics, which he incorporates into his performances. As a natural athlete, Daniel always displayed characteristics that are essential for the art of football freestyle. His balance, co-ordination, body management and agility ensures that he has ultimate control of the ball.
Daniel has realised that the determination, discipline and dedication needed for football freestyle was not only something to be admired, but could also inspire others. Daniel therefore encourages individuals not simply to take up football freestyle but to share these qualities while emphasising the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle which, when embraced, will help anyone to succeed.
