Human Performance Scientist

I am Daniel Alexander van Skye, DBA, a Human Performance Scientist working at the intersection of Human Performance, Data Science, and elite professional tennis. My work centers on designing individualized systems that model readiness, recovery, and fatigue with scientific precision.

With over two decades in high-performance environments, I integrate autonomic profiling, workload diagnostics, metabolic efficiency modeling, and neuroendocrine analysis into frameworks aligned with the unique demands of the professional tennis calendar. My methodology combines academic research with applied consulting at the highest levels of sport, grounded in systems-science principles and physiological rigor.

My expertise includes female-specific performance science, where I build cycle-aware planning frameworks that integrate hormonal phase markers, endocrine-sensitive tapering, and recovery slope modeling. This remains central to my work with WTA athletes. In ATP men’s tennis, I emphasize strength-power-endurance balance, cumulative load adaptation, and resilience management across dense match demands.

I hold certifications in Neurobiology, Sports Performance Psychology, and Workload Management from FC Barcelona Universitas, and previously served as a Special Operations Forces soldier and human performance strategist for military intelligence and tactical units. These experiences sharpened my ability to engineer adaptive systems that perform reliably under pressure.

Every engagement is designed and delivered personally. Each system is constructed from longitudinal human performance data, modeled to capture recovery dynamics, hormonal transitions, training load responses, hydration and thermal stress, and fatigue accumulation. My role is to provide clarity where variability hides, transforming complex signals into structured decision logic.

The objective is precise: preserve resilience, sustain readiness, and secure a measurable edge in professional tennis.
