Tony's Words

There's no need to rush talented teenaged athletes.

Peak performance comes at age 25, 26.

Raise a child 1st, athlete 2nd

Report card more important than scoreboard.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

No-cut policy best for long-term talent identification.

Less can be best when it comes to training

“Why don't we train more often?”

Finding the optimal windows for sports training

Speed, strength, stamina, skill and flexibility.

Don't forget or neglect the December babies

While kids are grouped for sports based on their chronological age, not all kids are the same developmental age.

It takes a village to build an Olympian

Where would community sports be without volunteer coaches who head to the fields to coach after a long day at work?

Take the time to say hello, thank you and goodbye

Somehow, these words have escaped the vocabulary of countless children.
