For the past 25 years, Danny has become an experienced educator, author, and world-champion coach. His most famous protégé also happens to be his wife, Laura Massaro, the former world No 1 and World Champion. Danny was awarded his PhD in 2022, which focuses on living well through a sporting life. His thesis used “existential phenomenology” to illuminate the need to include ‘lived experience’ when considering how to support people who compete or coach professionally. In 2023, Danny released a book “Being Well” which is a summary of his thesis.
