ABOUT Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld
“Against all odds, Dan recovered and went on to become one of the greatest competitive skydivers in the world. He is one of the most experienced competitors and coaches in the history of Formation Skydiving.
Dan made his first skydive in 1980 and has made more than 15,000 career jumps to date. He has been a role model for every competitor, no matter what their level.
He motivates and encourages skydivers to build teams and experience the same excitement and challenges that he himself has been through.
Dan is now a six-time World Champion and coaches teams around the world. His story underlines the power of the human spirit and its ability to overcome seemingly impossible odds. His book “Above all else” was published last month.”
