Tony Falce brings more than 30 years of experience to Miami Dade College as a nationally recognized and highly respected certified strength and conditioning coach. The owner of Elite Skills Training Miami, LLC, Falce has earned a reputation for developing athletes through a scientific, movement-driven, and individualized training model that consistently delivers results.

Falce holds dual certifications through the Personal Trainers Association (PROPTA), where he has served as a Master Director since 2006. He is also a NASM and ACE Master Trainer in Stroops Functional Performance, a distinction he has maintained since 2013. His expertise and commitment to precision-based training have made him a trusted resource for athletes and coaches across multiple sports and competitive levels.

Since relocating from Southern California to South Florida, Falce’s impact has continued to stand out. For 11 straight years, at least one athlete under his guidance has been drafted or signed by a professional organization in the NBA, NFL, or MLB, underscoring the consistency and effectiveness of his performance systems.

Falce’s athletic background began at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education in 1994. A standout two-way collegiate football player, he averaged 16 yards per reception as a tight end while also leading the NCAA in sacks per play on defense, recording one sack every 22 snaps. He served as a captain on IUP’s 1993 NCAA Division II National Runner-Up team, a group later inducted into the IUP Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022.

Throughout his career, Falce has impacted athletes at every level, including NBA forward Daniel Gafford, who credited Falce for elevating his conditioning and work ethic during pre-draft training in 2019. His demanding 400-meter sand run, completed in 52.9 seconds, remains one of the fastest Falce has ever recorded. College volleyball coach Whitney Battoe has also praised Falce’s energy, creativity, and hands-on approach in the weight room, noting the transformative effect his methods had on her program’s training culture.

Defined by dedication, discipline, and decades of proven results, Tony Falce continues to set the standard in athlete performance development.
