Personal trainer

Ever since he started playing basketball, Tony has been aware of his God-given athletic abilities such as speed, agility and speed and perhaps these are the reasons why he is never labeled as a hard worker.

Tony is definitely not a strong worker, but Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are, but he definitely spends a lot of time keeping himself in peak physical condition. As the years go by, San Antonio’s guard is more than aware that he’s getting older for the game of basketball. To stay healthy and play at the level the NBA demands, he has to train harder than he has in years past.

He recently changed his off-season training and started a new way of training with the San Antonio coaches. Tony lifts weights, runs on the track and sometimes boxing. For more on Tony’s new regime You can also check out Tony’s preparation for his national basketball team in the following videos
