Who is Anthony M. Drago?

Anthony Drago is irrevocably committed to guiding today’s youth to achieve personal and professional communication skills, leadership skills, an anti-bullying culture and becoming the best athlete they can possibly be so they can be role models for future generations. If you are looking for a proven professional who can guide you to address the lack of communication & leadership within the youth community, the culture of bullying, the increase of non-contact sports related injuries, and someone who will flat out motivate and inspire your organization like never before, you’ve come to the right place.

Anthony has over 25 years of physical training and personal development experience. He has worked with some amazing people and players while guiding them to achieve remarkable success. His mission and commitment is to mentor, train and develop today’s youth using his Military, Finaicial Markets, and Sports backgrounds as the vehicles 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 Consultant 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 inspired Anthony to continue with his uncompromising work ethic. What set him apart from other trainers and coaches, on the basketballk court, was the Triple Threat, inside out approach he used to develop the mind, body and skills (in that order). That allowed the players to not only become better players but more importantly, better people.

Years later, Anthony is still tackling the world of training our youth,just not exclusively on the basketball court. The world is in desperate need of youth leaders that know how to commuincate remarkably. 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 called Stack( www.stack.com/expert/anthony-drago). Stack is a well-known website and print magazine that athletes from all sports go to for help and guidance. Anthony wrote a personal blog for about a year. He has hosted several personal development conference calls for young players (recordings are available on his website). He has written several guest blog posts for numerous sites, has been interviewed about leadership for Authority Magazine & Bitbean, and is the author of the book “Go Prove Something! A Basketball Players Guide to Legally Using PEDs”.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony Drago many years ago when he was on the Tottenville High School basketball team. At that time, he was a hard working individual who demonstrated true leadership qualities. 15 years later he worked as a coach and mentor with my Shoot for Success basketball training program. He trained some of my top Division 1 players which I believe helped get them to the next level. Through his experiences he has now been able to translate his journey in a captivating story to share with the world. I know his book “Go Prove Something!  is an inspirational story for anyone at any level to relate. I am looking forward to reading it again because he has the tools to extract greatness from anyone open to receiving his powerful message”

“I recently had the privilege of reading “Go Prove Something! This book is a slam dunk!  Anthony is a premier basketball athletic skills coach and his book has the basketball edge to it. I don’t care if you play another sport, are a businessman, or someone just wanting to change your life…this book is a must. Anthony does what most don’t when writing a book about sports, he addresses the mind, body, and skills needed to succeed. I highly recommend this book for student/athletes as well as coaches and trainers. The straight forward strategies Anthony uses will help you develop a roadmap to success!”
