The 2022-23 academic year serves as the first year at Syracuse University for Tony Pedrotti as an assistant strength and conditioning coach.

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 began his professional career at Bethany College, located in Bethany, West Virginia, for two years. While there, he was the offensive line and tight ends coach, while also serving as the strength coordinator. As a member of the Bison football coaching staff, Pedrotti helped the team to its first winning season in over a decade while reaching the postseason for the first time since 1980. Pedrotti was charged with creating team lifting plans, supervising weight room activities, and personalizing athlete nutrition plans. On the field, he helped the offense run game improve from seventh in the conference in yards per game (113) to third in the league (197.9), all while coaching to all-conference players for the first time in their respective careers.

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.
