TESTIMONIES

When I was incarcerated I saw young boys my son's age in the prison system, that's when I knew I had to get my life right so I could be the father that God called me to be.

"Tony, I reviewed your website and must say that it would be my pleasure to endorse
your cause. It is a wonderful thing that you are doing for the young people of
our country. I truly believe that as coaches we get into our profession because
we are passionate about teaching, not only fundamentals on the practice field
but foundational lessons within life. Your program is taking this a step
further and this is why I commend you on your efforts and look forward to even
further success. Please let me know if there is anything else that I may do,
and do not hesitate to contact me in the future. Thank you for your hard work
and continued dedication to the younger generations."

"Bravo for Tony for creating this exceptional and unique approach for strengthening fathers' relationships with their children. What a gift to our nation's families."

Dr. Linda Nielsen - Author of "Embracing Your Father: Creating the relationship you always wanted with your dad" (Wake Forest University Professor)

"Tony is changing lives. In a confusing culture that too often leaves children alienated and alone Tony is challenging dads to step up and take responsibility. His method is hands on, well organized and personal. While the short term results are encouraging, the lasting benefits will be handed down generation to generation. Fathers matter forever. God bless Fathers In Touch."
