“Coach Nelo is a very hard-working coach that strives to improve his knowledge of technique in the throwing circle while coaching you to your potential as a thrower. I could not have reached the peaks that I did without his help”
— Andrew Mott
“Coach Tony has been one of the greatest coaches I’ve worked with by far. Not only does he know all the technicalities to each event, but he understands how to break it down in a way that you personally understand each and every cue to your throw! He also provides an environment that truly supports growth as a person and an athlete!”
— Zoe Myers
“Coach Tony Nelo’s dedication to the throws is unmatched. He brings out the best in every athlete through a personalized, thoughtful approach that goes beyond just technique. Whether it’s shot put, discus, hammer, or javelin, Tony has a unique ability to refine skills, build confidence, and drive real progress. He was a big difference-maker in my thrower’s journey”
— Harrison Sharp
“From the very first session with Coach Tony Nelo, we knew we had made the right choice. He didn’t just teach technique—he built confidence. Our youngest daughter, Addy, improved her javelin throw by 30% in just a few weeks under his guidance. Meanwhile, our middle daughter worked with him for shot put, and again, Coach Nelo’s expertise and encouragement made all the difference in her progress and mindset. What stands out most is his genuine connection with his athletes. He meets them where they are, adapts his teaching to their personalities, and pushes them in a way they respond to. His depth of knowledge is clear—but it’s his trusting, motivating style that keeps the kids coming back. If you’re looking for a coach who cares about more than just distance and results, someone who invests in your child as a person and an athlete, Coach Tony Nelo is absolutely that person. We couldn’t ask for more.”
