Coach David’s methodology is shaped by two powerful cultural influences: the high-intensity, street-smart energy of Brooklyn, New York, and the disciplined, precision-driven philosophy of Japan.

A New Beginning
In 2015, David survived a near-fatal accident that redefined his life and mission. Struck while cycling, he spent months recovering both physically and spiritually. What began as physical rehabilitation became a deep, introspective journey—reshaping his identity and giving birth to “The New Beginning.”
Even more powerfully, David unknowingly foreshadowed this transformation in a YouTube video posted in January 2015. That message—shared before the accident—became prophetic, ushering in a new era of resilience, clarity, and execution under pressure.
