Tony was responsible for our weight training program with the members of the Rose-Hulman Institute baseball team during the 2000-01 seasons. Our team had been eliminated from the conference tournament the previous spring, and in our post game discussion with the team we indicated that they were not beat on the field that day, but in fact were beat in the weight room, as our opponent was simply stronger than we were.  As coaches, we committed ourselves to implementing a quality weight training program into our season conditioning plan.  Tony was contacted and he put together the program, as well as guided the athletes through it. 

Needless to say the results were immediately seen on the field.  We went from hitting 4 homeruns as a team in 2000, to a then school record 29 homeruns in the 2001 season.  Our doubles went from 64 to 86 as a team, and our slugging percentage improved from .383 to .523 during the 2001 season.  These numbers speak to the value of Tony’s’ weight training program.  More importantly, our players were sold on the program and we continued to use it.  The incoming freshman class during Tony’s first year working with us just graduated this past spring.  They were able to engage in his weight training program for four years and the results are even more impressive.  That class set all kinds of school records offensively during their careers, including the two highest slugging percentages and 3 of the top 5; the tope two doubles and the 3 of the 4; and the career homerun hitter.  

More importantly than these individual numbers is the fact that our team set an all time record for wins in a year this past season, and the group of seniors who benefited from Tony’s weight program for their four years leave with the most wins by a class during their career.  Obviously the weight training program that Tony set op for our baseball team not only made us stronger, but also more successful.

My son, age 13, has started his second season of one on one training with Tony.  The decision to start back wit Tony Was easy for my wife and I, but more importantly for our son.  The first year proved to be a great experience.  Although my son was extremely tired at the end of an hour session, he has never not wanted to go back to the next session.

Tony Provides a combination of positive reinforcement, demanding workouts, fun attitude, and most importantly an explanation to my son so he understands the bigger picture and goals.  Tony's  attitude is constantly one of "lets improve" but in a fun way.

The difference in my son was remarkable the first year.  At the growing age of 13 he now has muscle tone, great endurance, and self confidence in his body and in any sport he attempts.  We directly attribute his physical growth to Tony and Progressive Sporting Systems.  I would strongly recommend Tony's services and would be glad to speak with anyone further if needed.
