    “DDW has been great for me, I’m relieved I was able to find them. They focus on game specifics which separates them from others. It’s important because making your training translate to the field is difficult. It’s led by a great guy who makes sessions enjoyable. Great program.”

    “Ever since working closely with Malachi, not only have I improved physically but I have also developed a training philosophy that allows me to train smarter and perform better. He is “that guy” when it comes to Strength and Conditioning, I have the questions and he has the answers.”

    “ I came to DDW wanting to unlock the full potential of my body, since then i’ve been feeling more explosive and conditioned for my position. The sessions are completely designed to the player, thats the most important thing for me, the coaching is great and forces you to break barriers ”
