The Mad Sport Scientist

He’s been called the Mad Sport Scientist, but his unique approach to training is anything but “Mad”.

An attractive resume of results has landed him consultant roles with professional teams like the Winnipeg Jets, and Men’s Sr National Soccer Team. Daryl’s systematic approach to thinking doesn’t just lend itself to helping individual athletes, he has partnered with numerous National Sport Organizations, Provincial Sport Organizations and Corporations in their quest to compete at the highest level.

HARD WORK. FAMILY VALUES.

From a young age my parents instilled a particular set of values “your best effort is always good enough” and “theres no substitution for hard work”. My parents grew up as farmers from a small town in rural Manitoba before moving to the “big city” to start a family. I took their simple advice and apply it to most everything I do, school, work, family. If you truly give it your best shot, and don’t succeed there is no shame in that! There is no magic, just hard work, consistently applied and most of the time, this will yield the desired results. This is what I bring to the table with every client, every day, every goal. I’ve worked exceptionally hard the past 12 years to ensure that my clients receive the most comprehensive services I can give them supported by the latest science. I’m a lifelong learner and look forward to helping people knock on the door of the impossible.
