Diego Brito

I’m excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the United States Air Force Academy.

First and foremost, I thank God for guiding my path.

To my mom, Shalon, my dad, Carlos, and my sister Mimi — thank you for your unwavering love and support.

Thank you to Coach Byron and Coach Derksen for your belief and guidance.

To Coach Shea and my coaches at Montverde Academy — thank you for developing and shaping me.

To my growth team — Coach Tyshawn, Dr. Esteban, Coach Ty, Coach Christian, Coach Tim, and Coach Tuck — thank you for investing in me.

Thank you to every coach who recruited and believed in me along the way.

Lastly, thank you to Coach Crispin, Coach Tomes, and the Air Force staff for this opportunity.

Fly, Fight, Win.

Did a video for @fitnesscfclermont before heading out to the Air Force Academy last month. 🏀✈️

Really thankful to CF Fitness Clermont for giving me a place to train, work, and get better throughout this process. Having the right people and the right environment around you makes a huge difference. #builthere

Shoutout to the coaches who poured into me:

🥊⏰ Coach Ty @clock_in_athletics_llc — wrote all my workouts and put together the plan that helped me get stronger and prepare for the next level.

💪 Coach Christian @getright_training352 — trained with me, stayed on me about my technique, made sure I was doing things the right way, and pushed me every workout.

🥗 Coach Tim @getnutritionsmart — helped me dial in my nutrition and understand how to eat to grow. With the training and nutrition plan, I was able to put on 15+ pounds and still keep my athleticism.

Appreciate all three of you for investing your time and knowledge into me. 🙏🏽

🎥 Shout to @champagnefilmz1 for the video!

🏋️ To any young athlete trying to become elite: there’s no shortcut. Find people who know more than you, be coachable, trust the plan, and be willing to work when nobody is watching. Small improvements every day add up.

Still a lot of work ahead of me.

Just getting started. 🏀💪🏽✈️

Back at it. 💪🇺🇸 Basic Training ✅

From June 14 to August 1, I had the opportunity to complete Basic Military Training at the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School. It definitely wasn’t easy, but I’m grateful for everything it taught me. Every day was a chance to get better, learn from my mistakes, and grow.

Proud to have been part of Bravo Squadron, which earned Top Squadron honors, and Alpha Flight, which was recognized as the top flight in the squadron.

Scored 425/500 on my Physical Fitness Test:

• 72 push-ups (max)
• 95 sit-ups (max)
• 8’8” broad jump
• 1:43 in the 600m sprint
• 12 pull-ups

Huge thank you to my parents for filling my mailbox with letters and to everyone else who took the time to write me during Basic and Transition Week. Your support meant more than you know.

Now it’s on to the next chapter. School starts next week, and I’m ready to get back to basketball, the weight room, classes, and chasing the goals I’ve been working toward.

Let’s get to work. 🏀✈️
