https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About A graduate of the economics program at the University of Connecticut (Uconn), Dan Sapienza has gone on to a career as an independent day trader. He engages in both long- and short-term trades based on market data and trends, which he analyzes to identify high-potential stocks. Dedicated to personally conducting all assessments used to make his decisions, Uconn graduate Dan Sapienza trusts his own judgment and avoids selling at a loss. Mr. Sapienza uses his own money to buy stocks and holds onto a stock even if it declines in value because he believes the price will eventually rise again. Mr. Sapienza also avoids making any purchase with more than 5 percent of his total wealth, a benchmark that broadens his purchase possibilities to include choices with higher risk and higher volume. Mr. Sapienza began his day trading career after a four-year professional soccer career. He played for the Albany Alleycats and the Western Mass Pioneers, distinguishing himself as each team's top scorer throughout his tenure. He also stands out as the top scorer in the history of Suffield High School in Suffield, CT, where he scored 34 goals in a single season. en-us 2017-03-22 05:00:36 UTC 2025-12-07 15:28:15 UTC hello@padlet.com DanSapienzaUconn https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/165785293 Now working as a self-employed day trader in Suffield, CT, Dan Sapienza earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from Uconn. Also a former professional soccer player, Dan Sapienza enjoys staying in shape, in part through jogging.

Jogging provides a great way to burn calories, build endurance, and ultimately get into better shape. If you are considering jogging for a hobby or workout, consider these three tips to help you keep the new habit and get the most from it.

1. Good Shoes - Not all running shoes are created equally, and cheap, poorly built shoes can do more damage than good, as your feet slam down onto the ground with each step. Take the time to find a good pair of running shoes that perfectly fit your feet. Research shoes online, or ask running friends what they recommend.

2. Warm Up - You may be eager to get to your jog, but take the time to warm up first. Just a few minutes of stretching your legs before you work them can help prevent muscle strain.

3. Schedule It - Scheduling your exercise can help you stick to your jogging goal. Play around with different times. You might be a morning jogger, or you might prefer running after work to clear your mind. Whenever you run, set a schedule and honor it.]]> 2017-04-10 22:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/165785293 DanSapienzaUconn https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/167385603 A graduate of the University of Connecticut (UConn), Dan Sapienza of Suffield, CT, is a self-employed day trader. He leverages his training in economics at UConn to make long and short trades based on market trends and company analysis. Outside of work, Dan Sapienza contributes to the XPRIZE Foundation, which recently announced the awardees of its Diversity Prize. 

Google and the XPRIZE Foundation are awarding a $1 million Diversity Prize, to be shared by 16 teams that are competing to launch an unmanned craft to the moon. The Diversity Prize recognizes the teams' diverse approaches to lunar exploration. Five of the teams have secured contracts for their launch and are advancing to the last stage of the competition. 

The Diversity Prize is part of the $30 million Google Lunar XPRIZE, which aims to challenge entrepreneurs and engineers to find innovative ways to advance robotic space exploration. The Google Lunar XPRIZE will go to a privately funded team that lands a robot on the moon. The robot must explore at least 500 meters of the moon’s surface and transmit high-definition images and video back to Earth.]]> 2017-04-20 21:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/167385603 DanSapienzaUconn https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/169603657 A self-employed day trader, Dan Sapienza graduated in 1992 from Suffield High School in Suffield, CT, as the school’s all-time leading goal scorer in soccer, earning a full athletic scholarship to UConn. After graduating from UConn, Dan Sapienza played four years as a professional soccer player, three of which were with the Western Mass Pioneers of Ludlow, Massachusetts.

Founded in 1997 by club president Celso Correia, the Western Mass Pioneers began play the following year as a member of the United Soccer League (USL) D3 Pro League. Along with winning the league championship in 1999, they were both regular season champions and finalists in the USL Second Division in 2005. 

Five years later, the franchise shifted its focus to developing talent and joined the USL Pro Development League. The Pioneers currently compete in the league’s Northeast Division, where they finished second in 2016 with a record of 7-3-4.

Though considered a small-market team, the Pioneers draw large crowds at Lusitano Stadium, located in Ludlow. In addition to developing players through league play, the team operates youth camps and high-level summer training programs for athletes between 12 and 14 years old.]]> 2017-05-03 07:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/169603657 DanSapienzaUconn https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/173494786 Making the most of his bachelor’s degree in economics, Dan Sapienza, a UConn (University of Connecticut) alum has been a successful day trader in Suffield, CT for more than 16 years. Dan Sapienza attended UConn on a soccer scholarship and played as a starter while a student there, subsequently playing professionally for several years after graduating.

Following the World Cup in 1994, many sports enthusiasts agreed that soccer had become established in America. The growth and popularity of a sport are indicated by several key factors: the players’ fame, lucrative advertising and TV deals, young people enthusiastic about the sport, and the much-needed youth league pipeline. The following statistics support the belief that soccer has indeed arrived.

1. Participation. In 2016, approximately 3 million young people participated in US Youth Soccer Leagues. Among 12- to 17-year-olds, Major League Soccer (MLS) is second only to basketball in popularity.

2. Advertising. The network televising the Women’s World Cup (WWC) 2015 netted $40 million in ad revenue, and more people watched the final WWC match than watched the NBA finals or the Stanley Cup finals. Additionally, soccer games were broadcast by more than 13 networks in 2015, compared to just five television networks in 2010.

3. Facilities and attendance. Soccer facilities in the United States are comparable to others around the world, and attendance at Major League Soccer events is 21,023 fans on average. Great facilities contribute to the fans’ excitement and they’re necessary to inspire the performance of the players.]]> 2017-05-23 20:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/173494786 DanSapienzaUconn https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/175275602 A graduate of the University of Connecticut (UConn) in economics, Dan Sapienza has traded equities in the stock market for more than 17 years. Based in Suffield, CT, UConn alumnus Dan Sapienza holds the stock of SolarCity and Tesla, and he is an advocate for the research and development of clean and renewable energy sources.

Renewable energy has gained a fair amount of momentum of late, propelled in part by the digital revolution. Blockchain technology, for instance, has surfaced as a viable solution for helping Africa receive the money it needs from investors to equip regions with solar panels and other forms of energy generation. In response to cybersecurity concerns, blockchain offers a more secure and reliable platform for transferring much-needed funding.

Another way in which technology continues to change the renewable energy sector is found in micro grids. These smaller components enable the distribution of energy to remote areas in a way that, at least in the short term, may be more reliable than larger grids. Even as this trend unfolds in 2017, many expect that the optimal long-term solution will be a global distribution of energy generation, such that all areas of the world, poor and rich, will have access to power.]]> 2017-06-05 20:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/DanSapienzaUconn/About/wish/175275602
