HAROLD BUTRON
Owner and Founder of DG Academy Inc.
"Trust the process. We get 1% everyday. everyday is not going to be a great day but the key to success is to keep grinding daily."
Basketball has always been more than just a game for me; it’s been a way of life. From playing college basketball at Adamson University in the Philippines to going semi-pro across Malaysia, Thailand, and Brunei, my journey has taught me that success doesn’t happen overnight — it’s earned with consistency, patience, and a strong work ethic.
After years of playing at a competitive level, from UAAP College Basketball to international semi-pro circuits and men's leagues, my passion evolved into coaching. Through DGA Skills & Training, I’ve helped athletes sharpen their skills and unlock their full potential. Every day at DGA is a chance to help you trust your process and work toward becoming 1% better.
