Tom Bresnahan took over as head football and strength coach my sophomore year at Canton High school. By my junior year, I had put on 25 pounds of muscle and my 40 yard dash time had improved by .3 seconds. I was bigger, faster, stronger, and a much more explosive player and I credit that to coach Bresnahan’s emphasis on sport specific training for football and track. He also trained me in the spring and summer of my senior year, which prepared me for to play football at the next level at Division II Merrimack College. Without his training, I would not have been big enough or fast enough to play Division 2 football.

When there was a vacancy at Canton High School for a head football and strength and conditioning coach, Tom Bresnahan was the best choice for me. As the athletic director at CHS, I recognized that Tom brought a wealth of professionalism and experience to the position, most notably coaching and strength training NCAA Division 1 College Prospects. Tom was responsible for the development of our entire strength and conditioning program for the athletic department at Canton High School. The best characteristic and quality Tom provides, is that he is a professional teacher who knows what is best for the student-athlete.

“Tom is not only extremely knowledgeable but he is able to convey his knowledge in such a way so that the athlete can achieve success both in the weight room and on the playing field.”

“I had the privilege of being coached by Tom Bresnahan in both track and field and weightlifting class at Harlem High School. His knowledge of strength and conditioning is first rate, but his greatest asset is the ability to inspire people to achieve their best."

I was coached under Tom Bresnahan for four years in football and track and field during my high school years. He helped me become an excellent athlete. With his training program I became a State Champion in the 200 meter dash and set numerous high school records. I didn’t think I would be able to continue a career in football but coach Bresnahan helped me with my speed, agility, and balance so I could compete in college football at Becker College. Coach Bresnahan has turned many losing programs around because of his dedication in getting all his athletes bigger, faster, and stronger. He also takes his time working with kids so they can reach their full potential.

Tom Bresnahan helped turn me into the athlete I am today. I had never played sports before as a freshman and he was able to help me become a two sport captain. With his teaching in plyometrics and explosive exercises, my vertical jump, speed, and overall quickness increased dramatically to help me become an all scholastic basketball player. With his intense and accurate lifting instruction, I was able to play Division II College Football at Assumption college. My overall athleticism increased rapidly under his training routines, it was unbelievable.

When I was in high school, I was fortunate enough to have Tom Bresnahan as my track coach. I was amazed with how much he knew about conditioning and weightlifting. He was able to develop a strength program for me that made me stronger, leaner, and faster. He also gave great nutritional advice. He helped me be in great shape for track and basketball. There is no doubt in my mind that Tom Bresnahan was one of the major factors in my back to back state championship titles in the shot put and my success later at the University Of Georgia as a track athlete.

I have known Tom for several years as both a colleague and a friend. He served our athletic programs well in creating individualized as well as team oriented strength and conditioning programs at Lassiter High School in Marietta, Georgia. Our football teams became noticeably faster as well as more powerful. Our players had always been strong, but Tom brought new ideas and trends that made our players more athletic. Tom also created individual programs for our players because each had different needs. I can think of no finer strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer.

My son was trained by Tom for four years at Canton High School. He started out physically weak, unsure of himself and very full of self doubt. During his senior year, he started varsity defensive line on the football team. Tom taught him not only the proper athletic form in the weight room but also helped him gain confidence. He taught him proper function, always taking time to explain the reasons why you do a particular exercise, and he always emphasized safety in his weight training program. The team had great confidence which came from Tom’s leadership abilities. My son is now in college and has a great attitude toward health and continues to be athletic.

Tom Bresnahan was a major contributor to the success of the Lassiter High School track and field program from 1999-2001. Coach Bresnahan was both an assistant and head boys track coach. Tom was also the throws coach, and the strength and conditioning coach for the program. Through his many hours of dedication to the sport, we were able to bring an average program to an excellent level. During this period, coach Bresnahan fielded a state champion in the boys shot put, a 170 foot boys discus thrower, two state champions in the girls shot put, a state runner-up in the shot put, and also a third place finisher in the state meet. In 2001 the boys won their region and the girls finished 3rd in the state. The conditioning program helped us improve every year.

Tom Bresnahan was my high school track and basketball conditioning / strength coach. Before I met coach Bresnahan, I had never really lifted weights before. Over the three years I lifted with him, I became toned and much stronger. I saw dramatic differences in my body. I believe coach Bresnahan contributed to my high school basketball team’s state runner-up finish. We were the most conditioned team in the state. I played Division 1 Basketball at Furman University. I was way ahead of the other girls my age in regards to lifting. My strength coach was very impressed with my knowledge of lifts and my form. I totally give all the credit to coach Bresnahan. Tom Bresnahan cares about his athletes and did everything to make me the best athlete and person I could be.

When it comes to motivating people to be the best they can be, nobody does it better than Tom Bresnahan. I met Tom when he was a high school coach in the 90’s and it was his passion for people and for his passion for developing the potential of athletes that impressed me the most. I learned more from Tom than just the X’s and O’s of strength training. His ability to influence people to believe in themselves and believe that they can do the impossible, separates him from the rest of the so-called experts in the sports performance business. His influence on me still plays a role in how I motivate and develop my athletes. I have an extensive background in coaching. I have coached eleven state champion throwers in track, most notably Reese Hoffa, 3 state championships, currently one of the best shot putters in the world.
