Daniel Cabrera Reviews

Thank you for pushing me to do my best.

Coach Danny was an absolutely horrible coach. He is a pathological liar. He wasn't honest about anything. When you first meet him and talk to him he seems charming, friendly, knowledgeable and interested in your daughter's volleyball career. That was all a façade. He plays mind games with the girls, wanted them divided and fighting. He did not promote the mission our university was known for. He promoted trash talking and staring down of the other team, coaches and refs. He is very immature, childish and really does not know how to coach the game. He did not play to win even though he had the athletes to do so. He also told them basically that those that "were loyal to him" would be those that played. He had a handful of girls run his team because that is what he wanted. He was supposed to be the coach, but put it on a young group of girls, and didn't care that it caused division. He mentally and emotionally abused these players. His assistant body shamed the girls often and he did not care. He just was overall a horrible experience as a coach and I cannot believe it took our university so long to take action, especially after so many girls and guys quit their teams along with assistant and GA coaches. I'm relieved that they finally took action, but the damage was still done so this year is a year of healing and rebuilding for our program. I would like him to know that even though he tried to "break" my daughter mentally, he did not succeed, and she is stronger than ever!

I was given an opportunity to play college ball, get an education, and meet my life long sisters. I enjoyed every single second being coached by Danny.

I was recruited by coach, my first impression is he seemed honest and comfortable to talk too over the phone. I remember him talking abiut family and academics. Besides for a few rotten apples, not blaming coach C, coach recruits talebted players and even better human beings. I'm best friends with my entire teammates, one of which is now engaged! Secondly, I have the hardest major on campus, and coach has always put my classes first and over volleyball. I respect that coach C kept his word after three years. Good family culture and caring about classes. #goat

It was awesome to play alongside coach Daniel. I look up to him like a father figure. Thankful for the opportunity to play in college.

This coach didn’t know names or numbers of his players because he is that unaware of how to run a program. He stepped into a successful program and ran it into the ground.

A lazy coach that does not come in until about an hour before practice. Doesn’t understand how create a practice or understand what drill you use for specific training. Does not scout teams to be prepared with a game plan for practices or to win games. He relies only on the talent of players. Cannot comprehend the game in real time. If a problem arises during the game he becomes frantic subbing players. Cannot motivate during a game if the team is in a rut. Rude to players, coaches, and refs. Gaslights coaches and players. Dishonest.

Coach is a great guy, I miss not having him around! He took me to the hospital when I didn't have a way there.

Coach Cabrera is a very knowledgeable coach and honestly I just enjoyed his presence. C is calm and fun. I remember a time I was jump serving for game point, I was anxious, I can't remember what he said but it was funny and we won the game.

Our family loves Danny. Her school went undefeated and 3 of the players also received lessons from him.
