Daghles started playing basketball at age 14 during visits to local playgrounds. Being a competitive player, he made the James Madison High School varsity in his first year. His team made the playoffs in his last three years of high school, even making the CIF Championship game in his junior year.
Daghles met an automobile accident in his early college years. This was before he got involved with a travelling team called High Five America.

Daghles's regimen would pay off as he won an MVP award for starring at San Diego Mesa College for his two years in junior college.
