"Tony V is a very analytical and effective coach, when he performed my metabolic test before the 70.3 World Championships in 2010 and prescribed a complete plan (nutrition included) in order for me to have a PR of OVER 25 min I was skeptical, but when I actually performed 4 min faster than predicted... he has me convinced!!!" ~Tyla Brown
“…my "arch-rival"... started a rumor that I cheat because I never used to beat her, and now I do! Thanks Coach Tony V!!” ~ Jenifer Leahy
“Coach Tony V. is one of the best coaches I have ever had in my career as an athlete. When I started in triathlon in 2007 I was 80 lbs over weight and far away from my peak physical shape. In less than three years with coach Tony, I have lost 80 lbs, dropped 20 minutes in my sprint triathlon, completed in two half Ironmans and completed the Louisville full Ironman. I have gone from being a finisher to a winner, this past year I have won two events and qualified for the ITU World Championships. Coach Tony knows all 4 disciplines, swimming, biking, running, and the science of getting you to your goal no matter what the distance or event. I recommend Coach Tony V. for any multi-sport endurance athlete, his racing and coaching reputation speak for themselves.” ~Greg Palmer
