"I had the absolute pleasure of being coached by Tony during my time at Central Washington University. I had never had a high jump coach other than YouTube prior to him and I can confidently say no one can top his dedication to developing an athlete. He made me more consistent, confident and calm in my approach to the sport. Helped me to win 6 GNAC Championships and was there all the way for me and my fellow jumpers. I graduated 12 years ago and to this day have a positive relationship with Coach Tony. I’ve been to a few of his meets and he still coaches with the same passion as I grew to know and love from him. Top of the top as a coach I have nothing but love and respect for him! "

"Tony was an excellent coach for me in college -- years ago now, but I have always remembered when he met with me the night before a big conference meet, and talked me through every possible scenario. He didn't have to do that. Nobody else needed this extra support. But he did it. He goes the extra mile, and he's caring, understanding and motivational. He really believes in his athletes but is also realistic about expectations and progress. -- and never in a negative way. Always "not yet" and never "never." Highly recommend Coach Tony!"

"He cares more about how the team looks and doing things by the book than he does actually winning. Instead of playing the best players, he plays the oldest players and the ones who agree with him and visit his office the most. He doesn’t care about your mental health, just your physical appearance. He “demands” respect, but never tries to earn it and quite frankly does not deserve it because of how condescending he is towards his players and the manipulative actions he takes against his staff and players. He is dedicated, but he is not knowledgeable, educated, or interested in becoming either. "
