Premier Sports Lab (PSL) was founded in 2025 by four devoted husbands, fathers, and coaches. Heyward "Woody" Mitchell, Lemmie Nelson, Preston Jackson, and Troy Bubley, with one clear mission: to fill in the gaps.

We see firsthand the needs that exist beyond the scoreboard; spaces where student-athletes need more than just drills and game-time. They need mentorship, encouragement, consistency, and a family that supports them beyond the court. That’s why PSL was born.

Rooted in the Lake Nona community, Premier Sports Lab is more than a training program, it’s a movement designed to build complete athletes and even better people. As former athletes, we understand the pressures that students face today. We’ve built PSL to be a safe space where hard work, leadership, character, and commitment are taught through sport. We believe in giving back just as much as we push forward. That’s why we invest in our athletes through free workshops, clinics for underserved youth, Back-to-school supply drives, seasonal givebacks and mentorship beyond the game. Helping student-athletes grow academically, emotionally, and socially is what defines PSL. 

We don’t just train players. We pour into our athletes. At PSL, every athlete is family. We’ll show up with intention, with love, and with high standards Just like we do for our own kids, because we believe the right environment changes lives.
