Coach Adama Diallo's bio - 3rd Assistant Coach
Adama Diallo ( Coach AD) was born and raised in Cote D’Ivoire and now has been residing in Jacksonville, Florida for over sixteen years. Adama took interest in basketball in his early youth, but it wasn’t until middle school that he began to focus more on basketball and learned the rules of the game. However, his passion for soccer ignited well before his interest in basketball. He has a natural interest and appreciation for many sports and has played with many teams playing different sports and various positions. These sports include basketball, volleyball, handball, and some that are not known here in the United States. Because sports and athletic scholarships/studies were not sufficiently developed in his country-of-origin, Adama focused more on his academic studies. He is currently holding a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications, and he is an IT Manager in one of the largest Healthcare Insurance companies here in the United States. Although well professionally established, Adama still has a passion for sports. His willingness to share his life’s experiences has led him to volunteer time as a youth basketball and soccer coach for over three years. Adama’s vision and professionalism will assist with the development of youth sports for the years to come.
