About Dylan Elias – Founder of SwishLab
Dylan Elias is not your average trainer. He’s a former D1 athlete, high-level skills coach, and the heartbeat behind SwishLab — San Antonio’s premier basketball training program for kids ages 4–18+.
A Texas native with a relentless drive, Dylan has trained with and competed against some of the best in the game, including NBA talents like Damien Lillard, Jordan Clarkson, Andre Roberson, Alex Caruso, Monte Morris, and Taurean Prince. His journey from the hardwood at Northern Colorado to founding SwishLab is fueled by one mission:
Develop players from the ground up — skill by skill, rep by rep.
With over 2 decades of on-court experience and a passion for building confidence through hoops, Dylan brings more than drills — he brings discipline, energy, and culture. Whether it's a 4-year-old learning to dribble or a rising high school/collegiate athlete working on game reads, Dylan meets each player where they are and pushes them beyond what they thought was possible.
Core Values: Confidence. Discipline. Leadership. Effort.
Location: San Antonio, TX
Specialties: Skill development, youth mentorship, camps, clinics, and team training
If your kid’s got the hunger, Dylan’s got the blueprint.
SwishLab isn’t just training. It’s a movement.
