About the DKFitness Foundation
Educating, Uplifting, and Equipping the Next Generation
DKFitness Sports is not your typical sports program—we don’t focus on physical drills or personal training. Instead, we offer something deeper: educational services designed to prepare student-athletes for long-term success in school, in sports, and in life.
Founded by Derrick “Coach DK” King—a military veteran, master’s-level graduate, and passionate mentor—our platform is built on lived experience and purpose. We know what it’s like to be overlooked. We know what it’s like to lack guidance. And that’s why we created DKFitness Sports: to give young athletes and their families a roadmap for achieving their goals beyond the scoreboard.
Through motivational speaking, NCAA recruiting education, leadership and discipline workshops, nutrition and wellness sessions, parent-athlete success programs, and faith-based character development (through our nonprofit), we help students think ahead, live with intention, and prepare for the real game: life.
At DKFitness Sports, we don’t just want you to go to the next level in sports—we want you to thrive at the next level in everything you do.
