The people behind the program — building athletes through hard work, discipline, and consistency.
Founder & Head Basketball Coach
Basketball has been a part of Austin Medlin's life since he could hold a ball. A three-year captain of his high school varsity team, Austin was a two-time Rocky River Conference Player of the Year and closed out his career with over 1,500 points — all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
His success on the court earned him a scholarship to play college basketball at Erskine College. But an injury before his sophomore season changed the direction of his playing career. Stepping away from the game as a player wasn't easy — but it sparked a new passion: helping the next generation of athletes reach their potential.
The lessons Austin learned as a player — hard work, discipline, leadership, and resilience — now shape the way he coaches. At The Sports Lab ILM, he's building the same standard into every athlete who walks through the door, helping them develop the skills, confidence, and work ethic to succeed both on and off the court.
