Model Dani Seitz Will School You on the Basketball Court

We spend a lot of time on Instagram (no, really—a lot of time), and when we're not living vicariously through our favorite FOMO-inducing accounts, we're checking on some particularly talented users. So when our GQ castings team finds a ’grammer worth shouting out, we think it's our duty to share him or her with you, dear followers.

If model Dani Seitz weren't living her best life on photoshoot sets and in the pages of fashion magazines, she'd probably be doing it on a basketball court somewhere. The Canadian stunner, who was discovered in a mall in British Columbia, has as many skills on the hardwood as she does in front of the camera. Other talents include knowing how to pose in a bikini on a beach, knowing how to pose in some fancy duds on the streets of Cuba, and killing it when it comes to FOMO-inducing off-duty activities. Also: the power to charm upwards of 31,000 people on Instagram. Check her out below and of course click follow.

Where are you right now?

Sitting in my NYC apartment on top of a mountain of clothing due to unpacking to only repack...

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia

If you weren’t a model, what career would you pursue?

I would be a basketball player... probably in the WNBA ;)

What is your mantra? (If you don't have one, make one up. We'll wait.)

Tomorrow is another day. It helps me realize that shit happens, but to just breathe it out.

What makes you feel sexy?

Playing sports.

Where have you never been but want to go?

I would really love to visit Alaska.

Do you read the comments?

Totally, I think it's funny when people are mean behind the screen. It's like picking on someone in elementary school while holding your mother's legs.

What is the craziest thing you’ve done on a shoot?

I danced in the Cuban Carnival recently. Everyone made fun of my moves, it was great. I'm Canadian what do they expect!!

How do you spend your time off?

I love volunteering. Playing sports with kids is my favorite, anything active! I'm also a health coach so I've been volunteering at a startup company giving them all my wise food advice.

What is your most prized possession?

Brace yourselves…. It is the Leatherman my dad gave to me. I use it when I'm in nature or around my apartment. It's so useful!
