DIAMOND LANE BASKETBALL ACADEMY
COACHES
Diamond Lane coaches teach the game of basketball from the ground up.
​
We focus on laying the right foundation for our players to grow with an emphasis on fundamental skill building and IQ development. Our players learn how to make reads with and without the basketball and how to trust their teammates.
​
We believe in toughness, which we define as making the right decisions in hard situations. We strive to have our toughness seen most in our defense. Our mantra, "No pressure, No diamonds" is the bedrock of our philosophy. We focus on being in our "own lane" knowing our greatest competition is against ourselves to be the best we can be.
We don't run or hide from adverse situations believing that adversity refines us like pressure refines diamonds.
