Dawan Robinson
The Movement
Dawan Robinson, owner and founder of Life Of Hoops, LLC looks forward to working with all athletes and coaches on showcasing their best skill level to reach their highest potential in a structured, competitive basketball environment.
Born and raised in Philadephia, Dawan is no stranger to the meaning of HARDWORK. There were not many options to take as a young teen, growing up in the rough streets of Philly. As for Dawan, the basketball court was his option...its’ what saved him. He maintained his focus and DEDICATED his energy on the court developing his talent of playing basketball. That talent was eventually blessed with an opportunity to leave Philadelphia and play at the University of Rhode Island as a Point Guard with a Full Scholarship. Even making an appearance on the “And1 Mixtape Vol. 3” he was sure to go far. As he continued to work hard and dedicate himself to his passion, Dawans’ ultimate dream was far from his reach.
After going undrafted at the 2006 NBA draft and playing in the preseason with The Los Angeles Clippers, Robinson spent his first professional season in France with CSP Limoges. For the 2007-08 season he signed with the Posih club Sigsk Wroclaw. He was DETERMINED to make the most out of this opportunity and played professionally throughout Europe ending his final season in September 2016 with the Italian Club Tezenis Verona. Officially announcing his retirement in December 2017, Robinson was ready to come back to Rhode Island and his home town Philadelphia to begin a new journey on the court.
Not only was he the aspiring teen that became the professional athlete, but he was also able to gain his teaching skills when given opportunity to be the Assistant Coach on the Boston Celtics NBA 2018 Summer League Team. Dawan has gained the necessary skills, training and DISCIPLINE to help young inspiring athletes achieve their dreams in basketball. Whether its learning how to dribble the ball for the first time, trying out for a High School Varsity Team, or playing Professionally, Dawan has been through the experience.
Although he is retired from the court, his passion for basketball is far from dimmed. Teaching and training the youth is the next phase in Robinsons’ career. After all, it has been his “LIFE OF HOOPS” and now its time to pass this movement onward by using his simple way of life...
