Biography
Fitness trainer and founder, Tony Stafford, a native of El Paso, Texas, has been active in physical competitions virtually his whole life. Starting at a young age, he competed in baseball, basketball, tennis, and soccer, eventually focusing on soccer. He competed on "select" teams in high school, as an elite player, on the Olympic Development Team for the state of New Mexico, and on the Division I soccer program at Texas Christian University.
After completing his undergraduate education and graduate work, he decided to return to his first passion, physical fitness. He is not only dedicated to maintaining his own top fitness level though, but also to helping others achieve the same paassion for and commitment to fitness. Tony is avid about studying, absorbing, experiencing, developing and teaching different methods of athletic training through his devotion to his first love, physical fitness.
Philosophy
My training philsophy utilizes the advances in performance enhancement and up-to-date methods, which involve training various motor qualities simultaneously to maximize performance. To me, Boulder Sports Performance is different from any other gym franchise or sports training facility.
There are several objectives I think about before every session and how I approach the training session: Desire, Belief, Character, Determination, Heart, and Pride. I use these personal values to help motivate the individuals in the training sessions and keep the participants involved both mentally and physically.
Also, I expect all participants to show up with their own expectations of themselves and of them program as they consider joining. Boulder Sports Perfromance is a program designed to meet these expectations: Goal-Oriented, Highly Motivated, Intense Environment, Positive Role Model, Low Ratio of Atheletes fo Coach, Hands-On Approach to Instruction and Demonstration, and a Positive Environment for Athletes.
