About us
Welcome to Coach D's, where we’re passionate about helping young athletes reach their full potential. Founded by husband and wife duo, Robert and Cassidi Dahlk, our mission is simple: to train, inspire, and build confident young football players.
We started Coach D’s to address two essential needs in youth football: safety and skill development. Football is a physically demanding sport, and it’s crucial for young athletes to learn proper techniques to play safely and avoid injury. Cassidi recognized the concerns of fellow moms who were nervous about their kids starting football and wanted to create a program that gives parents peace of mind. At the same time, Robert’s passion for developing players to reach the next level inspired a focus on position-specific skills and advanced techniques for key roles like defensive back, wide receiver, and more. By combining safety-focused fundamentals with specialized skill training, Robert helps players maximize their movement, optimize performance, and get the most out of every play—laying a strong foundation for confidence, growth, and a love for the game.
