In this powerful episode of the BUILT D1FF3R3NT Studio Podcast, Coach Randy Narciso sits down with David DaSilva—a modern example of what it looks like when academics, athletics, and intention align.
David is a current student at Cal Lutheran University, a former Notre Dame High School standout, and the nation’s most efficient three-point shooter by percentage during his playing career. Beyond the stat line, he now serves as an assistant coach with SoCal Hoops Basketball Academy and a youth coach with Motor Monstars, continuing to pour into the next generation.
But what truly sets David apart is this:
he never sacrificed academics for athletics—he elevated both.
Now majoring in Data Science and Sports Management, David represents the BUILT D1FF3R3NT standard in action—where discipline, structure, and vision create opportunity.
In this episode, Coach Randy and David go deep into:
Identity & foundation — the roots and standards that shaped David’s mindset
The habits behind elite shooting — how daily systems, not shortcuts, created historic efficiency
Balancing academics and athletics — the structure that allowed him to excel in both arenas
Mentorship and gratitude — the people and lessons that helped build his path
Leadership for the next generation — the mindset student-athletes need to carry forward
This isn’t just a basketball conversation.
It’s a masterclass in preparation, consistency, and intentional living.
Whether you’re a student-athlete trying to balance school and sport, a parent looking for clarity and structure, or a coach/mentor focused on developing the whole person—this episode delivers real insight and real standards.
Because talent gets attention…
but habits create opportunity.
This is the BUILT D1FF3R3NT Studio Podcast—where we don’t just talk about success…
we train it.
Handle today with intention.
Champions—Go Win the Day. 💪🔥
