Anthony M. Drago |
 Anthony is a native Staten Islander and the former most improved player recipient for the Tottenville Pirates in 1991. While basketball has always been his passion, Anthony has spent many years following different career paths that helped him develop a skill set essential to success in the business world. While serving our country in The United States Coast Guard, Anthony learned the true sense of the word leadership. Due to the nature of his unit, he learned how to handle adversity and adapt to dangerous and life threatening situations with composure. Anthony then changed focus and entered the business world as a licensed Series 7 stockbroker. After spending several years creating new business and servicing existing clientele, Anthony decided to try several other business ventures.
Most recently (over the last 6 years ), Anthony has been working with Gerry Mosley and his not for profit organization, “Shoot for Success Coaching with Character”. He is the Head Trainer and has worked with basketball players in all stages of their careers, most notably, Staten Island’s all time leading scorer and professional basketball player, Kyle McAlarney. Anthony also serves as the Vipers strength and conditioning coach. While emphasizing the importance of moving the body efficiently and the role proper footwork plays in success on the court, Anthony specializes in speed, agility and quickness training. He teaches proper lifting techniques and attention to detail that helps prevent over training and helps reduce injuries. Anthony is also an advocate of the personal development industry and has spent countless hours studying the process involved in developing an Iron Clad Mental Toughness both on and off the court. His philosophy is to “train the mind just as intensely as you train the body”. |
