Anthony “Tony” Pedrotti: Defining “Functional” Training and “Sports Specific” Training

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness
Podcast, Dan is joined by Anthony "Tony" Pedrotti to discuss
functional and sports specific training, in particular, relating
to lacrosse.


Pedrotti serves as a sport performance coach for the University’s
men’s lacrosse, women’s ice hockey, and women’s tennis programs.
He works closely with the coaching and sports medicine staffs to
develop practice plans to reduce injuries, aid in return-to-play
instructions, and optimize student-athlete performance with the
use of GPA and accelerometer devices. Prior to Syracuse, Pedrotti
was the head strength and conditioning coach at Stevenson
University in Owings Mills, Maryland from 2018 until August of
2022. There he oversaw all aspects of strength and conditioning
for all 28 Mustang athletic teams. Pedrotti developed
weightlifting programs to improve performance and reduce the
potential for injury, while also creating nutrition presentations
to educate student-athletes on nutrition’s impact on performance.
Pedrotti aided the athletic training staff in recovery and
rehabilitation methods, in addition to upkeep of the varsity
weight room. From April 2015 until January 2018, Pedrotti served
as the head of strength and conditioning at SUNY Maritime College
in Throggs Neck, New York. Additionally, Pedrotti was the run
game coordinator and offensive line coach for the Privateers’
football program. He oversaw all aspects of strength and
conditioning for every sport program through sport-specific
plans, nutrition plans, and dynamic warmups. He managed the
weight room through technique instruction. On the gridiron,
Pedrotti helped recruiting across the state of New York, bringing
in All-Conference talent, while helping the program set every
major school offensive record.
Pedrotti earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from
nearby SUNY Cortland in 2012. He later earned his Master of Arts
degree in teaching from Bethany in 2015 before his second
master’s degree in exercise science with a concentration in human
performance from Concordia University of Chicago in 2020. For
