MEET your HEAD performance coaches

Known to many as Coach DMC, Danielle Marie has spent more than three decades working at the intersection of athletic performance, health, and human development. With a foundation rooted in gymnastics—the oldest and most comprehensive form of athletic development—she has dedicated her career to helping athletes, families, and individuals build the skills, habits, and resilience necessary for long-term success.

​

As Founder of C3 Gymnastics and C3 Performance & Health, Danielle has coached and mentored thousands of athletes and clients, guided athletes to 17 National Championship titles, developed numerous State Champions, and built programs that integrate athletic development, nutrition, health, and performance. Her approach recognizes that success is rarely determined by physical ability alone. The habits, decisions, and mindset behind the performance often matter just as much as the performance itself.

​

Known for her direct approach and unconventional perspective, Danielle has built a reputation for helping individuals recognize opportunities, obstacles, and patterns that often go unnoticed. She believes that many of life's greatest obstacles are not the obstacles themselves, but the perspective through which they are viewed. Whether working with athletes, families, or individuals pursuing personal growth, she focuses on practical solutions that create meaningful, measurable, and lasting results.

​

As a coach, speaker, founder, mother of four, foster and adoptive parent, cancer survivor, and RSD survivor, Danielle brings a perspective shaped by both professional experience and personal adversity. Having rebuilt through challenges that altered the course of her own life, she understands firsthand that growth rarely occurs under ideal circumstances.

​

Through C3 PRO Performance & Health, Danielle's mission is to help individuals become stronger, healthier, more capable, and better prepared to pursue the opportunities available to them. By combining performance training, health education, nutrition, mentorship, and real-world experience, she helps people develop the tools necessary not only to achieve their goals, but to continue growing long after those goals have been reached.
