Born in Brazil, Daniel is a professional volleyball player still competing, a physical trainer, and a volleyball expert. At 37, he achieved one of the greatest milestones of his career: winning the Italian championship and reaching his highest attack touch ever, 3.65 meters, surpassing his own numbers from his youth.

With experience in over 20 countries and 23 years on the court, Daniel is living proof that peak performance has no age, success is trainable.

At 16, he faced shoulder muscle atrophy. At 18, disc protrusions in his spine nearly ended his career. He underwent knee and shoulder surgeries, the latter being one of the most complex procedures in sports, with very few athletes returning to high-level play. He came back. Stronger. And victorious.

That journey became a method. Daniel immersed himself in biomechanics, anatomy, and physical preparation and created Armored Player, a program that has already been applied in 36 countries. He also coaches numerous athletes through his 1-on-1 consulting, helping them achieve high performance safely and consistently.

Throughout his path, Daniel has worked side by side with over 350 club professionals around the world, including national team players, coaches, physical trainers, and physiotherapists. These connections helped shape his unique vision of performance, the human body, and long-term athletic success.

With 150,000 followers and a game that still thrives at the highest level, Daniel inspires athletes not just to play, but to own the court before the whistle even blows.
