Daniel Cook’s life in Acrobatic Gymnastics has led to success both on the competition floor as both and athlete and coach

His journey in the sport began at age 8, where he quickly fell in love with the sport. Progressing through the National Development Program, Daniel captured multiple national titles and working his way up to the FIG levels.

After years of hard work and commitment, Daniel fulfilled his lifelong ambition in 2014 when he was selected to represent Great Britain. He went on to win the title of British Champion, claimed two World Cup gold medals, and even secured a silver medal at the 2014 World Championships as part of a Senior Men’s Group.

Transitioning into coaching, Daniel has coached numerous British and international champions across multiple categories and age groups.

Daniel has become an expert in building solid foundations in younger gymnasts and developing them to long, successful careers at elite and international standard.
