Basketball with Pape Diop

With over 15 years of experience in high-level basketball, I am a former Division 1 athlete and professional player turned elite basketball trainer. Born with a passion for the game, I came to the U.S. on a full scholarship to compete at the collegiate level, where i built a solid foundation in both skill and discipline. After graduating, I went on to play professionally around the world — including stints in Georgia, Mexico, Rwanda, and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). Competing internationally allowed me to absorb different basketball styles, cultures, and training methods, all of which shaped my unique approach to player development. Now based in Austin, Texas, M is focused on giving back to the game by training the next generation of athletes. He specializes in building complete players — emphasizing fundamentals, basketball IQ, body conditioning, and mental toughness. Whether it’s a beginner or a high school athlete with college dreams, My mission is to help young players unlock their full potential both on and off the court. Through my new training brand, I am bringing global experience, pro-level intensity, and heart-centered mentorship to kids in Austin.
