Adrian Penland has become one of the most influential names in Georgia basketball development. Through Adrian Penland Basketball, he has trained and mentored hundreds of players, from middle school athletes to high-level high school recruits, giving them the foundation to take the next step in their careers.
His platform, North Georgia Report, goes beyond training by shining a light on athletes who might otherwise be overlooked. In a region often passed over by bigger recruiting markets, Penland provides player evaluations, event coverage, and exposure opportunities that ensure talent doesn’t stay hidden.
He also runs Earn Your Elite, a program built on discipline, skill development, and mental toughness. To Penland, talent is just the beginning. What truly separates players is the ability to stay consistent and put in the work when no one is watching.
Through his foundation, Achieving Dreams, Penland expands his impact even further. The foundation helps provide resources and mentorship that athletes and their families can count on, showing that his mission goes beyond basketball.
Adrian’s story is one of commitment, vision, and belief in the potential of every athlete who walks into his gym.
