Today we’d like to introduce you to Tan Dang
Hi Tan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Vietnam, and my family immigrated to America in 1994 when I was three years old. While my early memories are hazy, I vividly recall always being outside and staying active.
My parents worked two to three jobs to provide better opportunities for their children, and through their efforts, I gained a firsthand understanding of what hard work truly means.
Growing up, I had a passion for sports and being very competitive. I started swimming in elementary school, played football and basketball in middle school, and took up volleyball in high school.
Upon graduating high school, I accepted a scholarship to Thomas University, where I swam for four years and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business. During this time, I also achieved the distinction of becoming an All-American athlete/swimmer.
After graduating from college and returning home, I transitioned from swimming to weight training, which quickly became a new passion. This newfound strength significantly enhanced my performance in volleyball, allowing me to record a remarkable 42-inch vertical jump in 2019—an uncommon feat for someone standing 5’9″ to 5’10”.
My love for weight training and volleyball led me to a coaching position in Strength & Conditioning at Tsunami Volleyball in Atlanta, GA. At Tsunami, I help athletes improve their volleyball skills, increase their strength, enhance their speed, jump higher, and prevent injuries.
I am passionate about what I do and wouldn’t change it for anything. My goal is to assist as many athletes as possible, and I am off to a great start. Every athlete and client I have worked with has made progress, and their satisfaction with their results fuels my love for this profession.
“Building Life-Long Athletes” is my mission, and I am committed to making it a reality.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My biggest obstacle/challenge right now would be opening my own gym, a place where I can share my knowledge through training/coaching.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Elite Sports Performance, Jump Training, Volleyball, Swimming, Personal Training Coach: Weight Lifting, Power Lifting, Body Building, Form Correction, Functional Fitness, & Corrective Exercise.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I have to give credit to 2 of my coaches who has given me a lot of their knowledge so I can help everyone that I have worked with.
