On Daniel Galvis:

“I have been very fortunate to work with Daniel for the last 3 years. He is a fantastic goalkeeper coach who has the ability to get the most out of everyone that he works with. He has a tremendous energy and appetite for the game which spills over into his coaching. Daniel is a big reason for the team’s success the last two seasons and he will continue to be a big factor in the development of our team.”

Daniel Galvis was born in Mexico City, Mexico but was raised during his childhood in Cali, Colombia. His early soccer development was supervised by Jose Luis Cruz (El Tucumano) in his soccer academy. At the Tucuman Academy, Daniel learned the essence of the game as a part of a talented group, many of which were signed to the Ajax of Amsterdam. Coach Galvis’ goalkeeping education was acquired in El Deportivo Cali by the late Carlos Portela, one the best goalkeeper coaches in Colombia at the time.
