Danilo Arruda, PhD
About
Hey there, you can call me Dani!
With over 20 years of experience playing volleyball and more than 12 years coaching and conducting research in the sport, I’m here to help you elevate your game. I'm a certified volleyball coach by the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV - Level 3), which means you're getting top-level coaching from someone who’s worked at both the national and international levels.
In addition to my extensive experience on the court, I’ve pursued formal education to deepen my understanding of how to teach volleyball effectively. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science, a specialization in Sports Training, and a Master’s and Ph.D. in Kinesiology, with a focus on perceptual-motor control and learning.
Volleyball and science are my passions, and I’ve spent years studying, publishing, and applying research to my coaching. My teaching style is grounded in proven, science-based methods that I’ve refined through both research and practical application. Whether you're a beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level, I can help you improve efficiently and effectively. Let's get started!
