Tony takes his engagement and investment in you to such a high level – having success in this sport requires getting to the start line fit and healthy and in a manner that accommodates your work and family commitments. He does this so well and with such a genuine interest in your overall well-being, progress and success. Tony always gave me the sense he was in tune with the highs and lows I went through in terms of motivation and the demands on your body – he had obviously experienced all these emotions and physical demands himself so could relate to your situation and either give you the nudge you needed to keep pushing or tell you when to back it off.
