Danielle is passionate about soccer. After earning an MBA and spending just under 10 years in corporate America, she decided to pursue her love of the game and share it with others. Taking what she learned on the soccer fields, in the classroom and in the business world, Danielle has created programs to help soccer players become better athletes and all-around successful people in their pursuits beyond the field.
A player and coach at many levels, she has over 30 years of experience. A native of Massachusetts, Danielle participated in youth soccer as a member of local club teams, ODP and the Bay State Games. She continued her playing career at Division 1 Villanova University, where she captained the team in her final season.
While in graduate school at Villanova, Danielle served as an assistant coach for the women’s team for three seasons, and as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs, as well as other varsity sports during her last year of study.
Danielle can also be found on many area soccer camp and academy staffs, as well as the EPYSA ODP staff. In addition, Fagan has been the Head Coach of the Conestoga High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team since 2004 where she has a record of 99-14-4, as well as 4 League Titles, 1 District Title and 2 State Championships.
Danielle is also an associate member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) coaching staff. As part of the staff she runs coaching courses for the NSCAA Non-Residential Coaching Academy.
In her free time, Danielle continues to challenge herself off the field as she hiked to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa in February 2007. She frequently shares her own experiences with players to convey her philosophy. On the same trip to Africa in 2007, Danielle visited an orphanage to donate soccer gear and equipment and play soccer with the children.
