DAN POTTS - Founder of Advanced Athlete

We lost Coach Dan Potts on January 16, 2014, following an unbelievably courageous sixteen-year battle with cancer.

Dan Potts was an Advanced Athlete Strength & Performance Specialist, and worked with elite competitive athletes for 3 decades. He worked with Olympic, Professional, and Collegiate athletes, including numerous professional baseball and NFL players, including a former #1 NFL draft pick.

His expertise in sport biomechanics allowed him to access the needs of every athlete, no matter what sport he or she participated in.
