We Don’t Just Build Players—We Build People.

At DETAIL San Diego, we believe basketball is more than a game—it’s a vehicle to develop confidence, leadership, and life skills that last long after the final buzzer.

We’ve created a family-first environment where athletes are developed holistically—not just as basketball players, but as human beings.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to help athletes become the most confident, capable, and resilient version of themselves—both on and off the court.


That means training the whole person:

- Mentally, through mindset work and adversity training

- Physically, with performance-based development

- Emotionally, by creating a supportive, empowering environment

Because growth in basketball should mean growth in life, too.

Why We’re Different

Most basketball programs focus on Just Skill Work and highlight reels.
At DETAIL, we focus on what truly matters:


✅ Developing confidence under pressure
✅ Building high-IQ decision makers
✅ Creating responsible, respectful leaders
✅ Teaching players how to handle adversity
✅ Fostering a love for the process—not just results

And yes—we guarantee real improvement in skills, mindset, and playmaking ability. That’s our promise.

Built On Values That Matter

We operate on five core values that shape everything we do:

Belief – In ourselves, our teammates, and the process.

Love – We treat each other like family, even in tough moments.

Resiliency – We embrace adversity and grow through it.

Camaraderie – We lead by serving and lifting others up.

Leadership – We show up fully present and accountable, every day.

If those values resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home here.

About The Training Staff

Gabe Macias (Owner)

Hi, I’m Gabe—the owner of DETAIL San Diego.

I launched this program after an early career-ending knee injury forced me to step away from playing. But that moment became a gift—it gave me the chance to dive deep into coaching, mentorship, and development. Since then, I’ve trained thousands of athletes across the globe—from young beginners to pros—and every single player I work with teaches me something new.

My passion is helping athletes grow as people first, and basketball players second. I want them to leave the gym better than they arrived—more confident, more self-aware, and more prepared for the game of life.

Alex Silva (Director/Trainer)

I’m Alex Silva, Co-Director of DETAIL San Diego, where I specialize in elite basketball training and player development. With more than 10 years of experience in the field, I’ve worked with athletes of all levels — from youth players to college and professional prospects — building individualized plans that maximize growth and performance. My background began as a student assistant at the collegiate level, which fueled my commitment to research-based, innovative approaches to skill development.

In addition to my role at DETAIL, I also serve as Head of Coaches Education for By Any Means Coaches, supporting five By Any Means locations and over 15 other organizations nationwide. My philosophy blends years of experience with a relentless drive to help athletes unlock their potential through smart, focused, and purposeful training.

Anthony McManus (Trainer)

Hi, I’m Anthony-I am a skills trainer for DETAIL San Diego. I’ve been working as a skills trainer since 2022.

I played four years of college basketball, and through that journey I was able to experience the game at different levels and learn the unique styles and work ethic required to succeed at each. Those experiences shaped the way I train and coach today.

My passion is making an impact—on players, coaches, and everyone I work with. Basketball has changed my life: it’s taught me lessons, given me opportunities I never imagined, and introduced me to people and relationships I’ll value forever.

Now, my goal is to give that back—to help players grow, push them to reach their potential, and put them in a position to enjoy the game at a high level for a long time.

Tyler Clark (Trainer)

Hi! I’m Tyler - I am a trainer at DETAI San Diego

Hi! I’m Tyler - I am a trainer at DETAIL San Diego


My college playing career was cut short in 2020 due to COVID, a difficult time but one that presented a great opportunity to redirect my passion to coaching and training. That same year I did my first internship as a strength and conditioning coach at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine for three months which led me to my next opportunity as Director of Performance and an assistant coach at Southern Maine Community College (2021). I spent three years with the program, I added on director of player development in my second year, and we went on to win two conference championships and one national championship. Last year (2024-25) I was fortunate enough to coach at The University of New England as an assistant with the men’s team. Furthermore, amidst coaching college basketball, for four years, I also ran my own private training business working with players from middle school to pro. 


I received my undergrad in Exercise Science, a sport performance focus and minored in coaching, I have a background in both leadership and communication - I run a podcast in which I’ve been fortunate enough to speak with some of the greatest professionals in the training and coaching space. I bring a holistic and intentional approach to training both on and off the court.


Basketball has introduced me to some of the most important people in my life, done more for me than I can explain and I believe basketball is my vehicle to help build better people - confident, competent, self-aware, respectful and hard working people. Let’s get to work.
