Danielle started in weightlifting at Rutgers and came to CrossFit through the barbell rather than the other way round, which shows in how she coaches: positions first, speed second, load whenever the first two are ready.
She takes the members who have decided to compete, and she is candid with the ones who have not — most people, in her view, get further from twelve honest weeks of technique work than from a season of chasing scores.
Danielle holds CrossFit Level 3 and USA Weightlifting Level 2 credentials and has coached at BASALT since the facility opened its platform deck.
