QUOTING HIS COACH
"Danny possesses a tremendous competitive edge that is only matched by his work rate and attacking insight.  As a result of these qualities, since joining our Academy at the age of 13, Danny has consistently been one of the most-efficient players in every team for which he has played in the area of scoring goals, as well as producing goal-scoring chances for his teammates.  His commitment to his team and his own development, which included three hours in the car for every single session and match of the past five years, will serve him well as he makes the difficult transition from youth soccer into the collegiate game."
Blake Decker, St. Louis Football Club Academy
