Pete has been coaching athletic performance and strength and conditioning for 30 yrs Masters degree in Clinical Exercise physiology (1984) Began playing Rugby in college and continued playing men's premier level club rugby for 25 years - instrumental in developing my curiosity in athletic performance Started career in the commercial fitness industry - Worked in numerous health and fitness clubs, this is where i began to develop my training philosophy Worked as performance director for 5 Star Basketball camps for 10 yrs Began developing and running speed camps for college and high school athletes in the early 90’s

Started Speed Wins in 1994 - a speed development program focused primarily on high school athletes. We traveled around the country directing 3 day speed camps for sports clubs and high school sports programs Began coaching Track at Ridgefield High School and soon after began coaching Football also.

In 2000 the coaches and booster club at Ridgefield High School cited a need to implement a full fledged strength program so we designed a facility, raised the funds to purchase the equipment and built the Tiger Hollow Strength and conditioning center. It has expanded twice over the last 17 years and we have upgraded our equipment a few times over our evolution. We started the program with about 10 football athletes, now we work with all of the varsity teams and coach about 300 kids per season.
