Dani Vlad

Dani Vlad is 37 and was born in Transylvania, Romania. Dani has been involved with wrestling since he was 10 years old and trained under the communist regime. In 1989, right before the Romanian Revolution, under the local free-style wrestling club he placed 5th on the International junior’s competition, and later that year won his first Free Style Wrestling national title at one of the toughest wrestling tournaments in Romania. From that point on he joined the National/Olympic Team.

A year later after the Romanian revolution, willing to move on with my life, Dani took a break from wrestling and joined an International Organization in helping orphans and street kids in Romania. Filled with a passion to make a difference in the world he started to study and work with Youth With A Mission International in many community and youth projects in Romania. Since 1998 Dani and his wife have been travelling all over the world, to most of the continents.

For 3 years (2006-2009) Dani lived in Nashville, Tennessee, USA (on a temporary visa) where he started to get back into wrestling, more as a coach this time. Volunteering as a wrestling coach for couple of High Schools and to a local wrestling club, Williamson County Wrestling Club soon enough he started my own wrestling program contributing to several outstanding results with my team: couple of state champions and one national champion.

In April 2009 he moved back to Romania where he continued his coaching career helping out with the local wrestling club as an assistant coach.

Dani now lives in Steyning in Sussex and coaches at the Rustington & Littlehampton Wrestling Clubs. He is affiliated with British Wrestling Association with level 1.5 coaching status and CRB checked.

Aside from wrestling Dani is also an entrepreneur and runs his own internet based business, DV web Marketing creating websites and offering online marketing solutions for business and sport associations/clubs. One of his clients back in Romania is the Romanian Wrestling Federation, having built their website and running all their online affairs since 2009.
