Kaylee Daniel

(Coach)
Hi there! My name is Kaylee Daniel. I’m a Division I pole vaulter at the University of Kentucky, competing in the SEC conference. Before college, I was a two-time state champion and three-time state medalist in Nevada, eventually graduating from liberty high school after attending Coronado the previous three years. I also had the honor of serving as team captain for three of my four years in high school; an experience that sparked my passion for leadership and mentoring.
Over the past two years, I’ve been dedicated to mentoring teens and kids, helping them navigate the pressures of growing up, manage expectations, build real self-confidence, and develop emotional resilience. I know firsthand what it feels like to face high expectations, and I love using my experiences to help young people grow into confident, capable, happy humans.
I’m currently studying Clinical Leadership and Management, with the goal of earning a dual degree in Law and Health Administration. My vision is to combine leadership, empathy, and strategic thinking to make a positive impact in both healthcare and legal systems.
Outside of school and athletics, I’m a big fan of hiking, nature, and finding happiness wherever and whenever I can. I truly love working with kids and believe that with the right guidance and encouragement, every young person has the power to take over the world, dream big, and thrive.

My goal is to create overall well-being in athletes, focusing on recovery and mental preparedness for high level competition and lifestyle.
