Lab Development CEO, Gage Daye, brings an extensive background in basketball, shaped by years of playing and coaching around the world. He has learned from some of the best coaches and trainers in the game, and with this knowledge, Gage and his team have developed the L.A.B. System—a proven method for player development. Over the past eight years, Gage has trained and developed more than 100 players. Whether you’re a beginner, a potential prospect, or a seasoned veteran, the L.A.B. System is designed to elevate players at every level.

Gage’s basketball journey began at St. Mary’s of the Assumption, where he was recognized as one of the top guards in his county. He received multiple scholarship offers from Division I and Division II schools, including Norfolk State, Clark Atlanta University, Bloomfield College, and Hawaii Pacific, ultimately choosing to stay close to home and attend Bloomfield College. Gage enjoyed an illustrious collegiate career, earning First Team All-American honors, five separate Player of the Year awards, and becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,518 points.

Following college, Gage signed with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Indiana Pacers) in the NBA G League. He then took his talents to Europe and later spent three successful years playing professionally in Australia. His professional accomplishments include a 70-point game, two MVP awards, and an impressive 17 PPG average in the top level of UK basketball (Europe).
