Anthony M. Drago

Anthony Drago is irrevocably committed to guiding today’s youth to attain personal and professional leadership skills, creating an anti-bullying culture and becoming a totally balanced peak performing athlete so they can be the role models for future generations. If you are looking for a proven professional in the sports training industry who can guide you to address the lack of leadership within the youth community, the culture of bullying, the increase of non-contact sports related injuries and the absence of fundamentally sound basketball players, you’ve come to the right place.

Anthony has over 20 years of physical training and personal development experience. He has worked with some amazing people and players with similar concerns and worries and guided them to achieve remarkable success. His mission and commitment is to mentor, train and develop today’s youth using the vehicle of basketball to build their mind, body and skills while preparing them to become leaders and to take what they learn on the court and apply it to their lives off the court.

Anthony’s path to become a Peak Performance Strategist became clear to him in 2004 when he was introduced to the world of basketball training by a mentor of his, Gerry Mosley. Gerry not only teaches basketball skills but more importantly, life skills. He taught Anthony the importance of developing players both on and off the court.

Seeing a young player have that proverbial light bulb go off and experience a true “AHA” moment is what inspires Anthony to continue with his uncompromising work ethic. What sets him apart from other trainers and coaches is the Triple Threat, inside out approach he uses to develop the mind, body and skills (in that order). This allows the kids to not only become better players but more importantly, better people.

You can feel confident inviting Anthony to guide you and your organization to solve the above stated problems. Over the years, his expertise, his views and his opinions have been featured in a variety of outlets. Anthony is a listed Expert for the organization Stack.
