Anthony “Yoda” Drago was the best training coach and motivator I ever had because his teachings went way beyond basketball. It wasn’t about just preparing me to abandon bad habits but making sure I created and became accustomed to new ones. It wasn’t about just learning how to move my body properly but how to properly move my life toward the right path. Sometimes I cried tears of joy and sometimes tears of pain. All of the sacrifices he made to make my time in New York enjoyable was appreciated and will always be appreciated. You see those movies about people saving / changing other people lives, Yoda did that for me. And for that I will forever be grateful.

I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony Drago several 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.

Through his experiences he has now been able to translate his journey in a captivating story to share with the world. I know “Go Prove Something!
