TONY MANZO • PERFORMANCE COACH

Tony manzo grew up playing multiple sports through out the beginning of his life going from soccer as a young child to baseball later in his life as an adult.

Having spent the last 5 years giving private lessons and spending the better part of the last 10 years being a chef at various high end restaurants, Coach Tony has really been able to reach into the deep confines of what solid nutrition is and how to build a strong foundation for all of our athletes. This is where his hunger to always help our athletes get better everyday comes from.

Coach Tony really pushes the idea of creating a positive culture with a “1% better everyday” mentality. This is one of the few ways he will help build confidence in not just becoming a better athlete but also enriching everyday life with a positive attitude and gratitude of the blessings being provided for all of our athletes.

On his little free time Coach Tony stays active by hiking, playing baseball and softball and spending time with his family as much a possible.
