"I first met Dan in Houston at the Texas Baseball Ranch, so I had a good idea he was a “think outside the box” kind of guy. Even with these expectations, Dan surprised me with the amount of innovation he incorporates into the K-Zone workout program. From the creative variations using the exercise bands on his player’s hands and feet to the innovative arm care exercises his players performed, it is without question that his students were thoroughly warmed up and prepared to throw by the time a baseball was picked up. Dan’s ability to make every activity a challenging and competitive while recording performance makes K-Zone Academy a great place to train. Players are able to constantly push themselves and break records thereby becoming better athletes. The environment, detailed measuring/recording systems, and superior throwing and training drills allow athletes at the K-Zone to make size-able gains in their baseball abilities." |

I am glad to finally get to see your fantastic facility. It is indeed a Jedi training heaven. Thank you for being a big part of our dream of a network of great facilities that test/train/improve players of all levels." |
"What beautiful successful life memories he will have because of you and the K-Zone." Javita Henderson
"I’m really proud of Levi for taking ownership and standing up for what he thought was right. I know that you had something to do with that, and I really appreciate that you are not only helping with baseball, but you’re helping him to become a better man as well. Thanks Dan."
"The difference you make to the students at K-Zone is a function of both your extensive expertise in developing baseball performance and in your authentic passion for helping these young men go beyond the limits of what they think they can do. Than you for all the work you had to do to develop it in yourself and they for sharing it."
"You have an outstanding program that is unmatched from what we have both seen and experienced. Reid is so much stronger and sure of himself, we couldn't thank you enough for his improvement and the work ethic that you seem to instill in these young men - pure magic!"
"K-Zone is not just a baseball training facility; we consider it our home away from home.
It's nice to see the players get better at baseball, but even more important to see them become better young men."
"The individualized coaching, personal development and group dynamics are some of the intangibles at the K-Zone
What I appreciate the most is your efficient and direct approach, while it allows the players to exceed, it only does so if they have earned it."
"You have proven to me over and over that the amount of knowledge you have is far more that I have ever seen."
"Everyone there is a team player, and the older kids are mentors to the new students..."
"I am sure we that I don't say it enough but we appreciate your kindness, support, and commitment..."
"Kevin has improved his flexibility big time and gotten very physically strong, but the part that I'm most impressed with in the program is how he has grown mentally."
"He's gone from fairly average to one of the best players on his team in the last 8 weeks..."
"I sure wish Dr. Dan was around when I was younger..."
"You have made the whole learning experience fun for him as well which instills valuable lessons that he can use outside of baseball..."
"His confidence at the plate is enormous; it has made a huge difference in David's whole approach..."
"Both boys are clearly becoming better ball players and developing a greater love for baseball out of the time they have spent with you..."
