I checked in on Daniel on is Journey in football the tight end position and fitness endeavors 

Respect: What is Fitness football Fantasy’? 

D.Wilcox:; My Publicist Eddie Rhodman, Isaiah Stanback who won a Superbowl with the Seattle Seahawks and myself put our heads together for a great workout for ordinary people to train like an NFL player. We probably had over 100 people on Superbowl weekend out and over 350 sign up. It was a great atmosphere in little Haiti in Miami

Respect: What did you think that experience gave to the people who attended ?

D.Wilcox: I life everything is about respect. I think we gain a lot of respect from the people who participated. In order to play football you have really hone in on your technique. When people got tired we made sure to slow things down and fix their technique. When people get tired their technique falters so so by correcting their technique we put them in position to go hard and that’s when you gain the respect 

RESPECT.:  You essentially floated from position to position when you first got into the league: Do you think Daniel Wilcox then would be an asset to the NFL now?

D.Wilcox : When I came in i literally floated around from position top position. John Gruden in Tampa didn’t know what to do with me. They moved me from running back to fullback to wide receiver and every time they move you you’re learning a totally new position. When I got to Baltimore, when I got my title as H back so Brian Bullock was the first one to say your an H back so he literally created a position for me/  Fast Forward 10 years later everybody is playing with H backs.

Respect:  Where do you see the  Ravens getting better as a team? 

D.WIlcox: This is the first time in team history where people are afraid to play the Ravens offense with the edition of Lamar Jackson.. When I played Ray Lewis told us all y’all have to do is score 21 because we are going to make sure the other team doesn’t score 21 points. They are not going to have a running back over 100 yards” so if we scored 3 touchdown we were going to win every game. Now you have to to stop the raven offense from scoring 40 points and that is scary

Respect: Do you see Lamar Jackson taking another Step this year?

D.Wilcox; Well I’ll put it like this when you were a freshman in high school  you were the low guy on the totem pole by the time you were a senior you were almost invincible. Same thing happens when you get to college. This is Lamar year 3 so basically he like a Junior is High school or college so this is when he is going to start to feel himself build a sense of confidence by being in the same offense. He might start making his own check at the line of scrimmage. And Next year when he is in his fourth year he is going to be on top of his game!

So what could possibly be left for Danny to accomplish? Knocking out depression, anxiety and stress one punch at at time is an answer you might get, or he may give some literature to read with his book No More Bad Days. Athena’s gym is a women’s and children’s gym that offers 3 segmented courses, first starting off with 15-minute mind motivation blocks before moving on to the physical fitness portion of the workout.

Below, Danny speaks on what inspired him to create the new but needed fitness platform:

I was once invited to an AA meeting by a friend, I initially declined but then decided to join him. After leaving the meeting it opened my eye to how many people truly needed the space to release themselves from anxiety stress, depression and more so, why not integrate into fitness.

Danny also knows from a personal standpoint, having battled some parts of depression in the in-between period of the success of his two health clubs; he experienced a few seasons in life which led him to a dried up bank account, trying to figure out what’s next.

Knowing what it is like to be in that mental space, and with time and being tested, Danny has found that women are more responsive to his method, which is why Athena Gym caters to women knowing they will leave the environment less stressed and equipped to defend themselves by learning real boxing skills.
