Dan is an excellent youth basketball coach! I had the opportunity to coach alongside him this year and learned a great deal from him. He focuses on the fundamentals, incorporating unique and fun drills that get kids moving while honing individual skill development. He's upbeat and positive, motivating players to work hard and improve in their specific areas of growth. What I admired most is that he took the time to get to know each kid, patiently adapting his coaching style to their individual learning styles -  and I saw this pay off in his winning record on the season. I highly recommend Coach Dan as a valuable resource for helping your kids improve their skills and love of the game!

This is an awesome way to improve, I felt like I had learned a lot even within the  first session! Coach Radke had us do lots of fun drills; some were more challenging than others! - Kensington (Age 11)

Our kids both love Dan's sessions! It's really valuable skills training and they have so much fun. We're a bball family, but Dan gets them to do drills they'd never want to do with us at home. They leave pumped up to play after every session and get really excited to go every time. - Jenny Montgomery Smith

Watching our son grow as a basketball player through his sessions with Dan has been so much fun to see. He looks forward to every session and always comes out with tons of energy and excitement for the game. Dan does a great job pushing him out of his comfort zone while still keeping things fun, and we can really see the difference in his confidence and how he approaches basketball. We’re so glad we found Radke Academy!

Dan’s passion for basketball is clear in everything he does, and it truly sets him apart. What I appreciate most is that he prioritizes teaching strong fundamentals over simply chasing wins. He focuses on helping athletes build a solid foundation that will benefit them long-term, both on and off the court. Dan also has a unique ability to connect with young athletes. He communicates in a way that keeps them engaged, motivated, and confident, which makes a huge difference in their development. He emphasizes learning the game the right way, while also making sure players enjoy the sport and grow a genuine love for it. Above all, Dan teaches the importance of sportsmanship and respect for the game. If you’re looking for a coach who truly cares about developing well-rounded players and great individuals, Dan is the perfect choice.
