Danny Cooper
CEO
Danny was only 5'3" as a freshman in high school and rarely saw playing time at Plymouth Whitemarsh HS up until his senior year. He was 6th man but was a contributor on the
nations 19th ranked HS team in the country. After stepping away from the game and attending Penn State University for two years, he transferred to Moravian University to play Division III basketball where he was a 3 year starter and scored 556 points in just 39 games. Danny was named Landmark All-Conference Second team during his first full season as a greyhound while also holding a leadership role as team captain for two years. During the summer of 2021, he interned for NBA skills trainer Drew Hanlen, where Danny made many meaningful connections in the basketball world. His dedication to his own craft, especially growing up as a smaller player is one of the unique reasons he's become such a talented and respected trainer. Since founding Danny Cooper Basketball LLC in 2017, Danny has trained with youth all the way up to NBA players.
