Success in sports requires a strong commitment to hard work and discipline that is instilled by strength and conditioning coaches such as Anthony Piroli.

Anthony graduated from Aliquippa High School and majored in exercise science at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he began his coaching career in 2007 as head strength and conditioning coach. For the next two years, Anthony served as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Pittsburgh and earned a master's degree in exercise science.

In 2010 and 2011, Anthony worked in the private sector as a sports performance coach at the Power Train Sports Institute in Pittsburgh. From 2011 to 2013, Anthony served as co-owner and director of sports performance at the Evolution Sports Institute, where he worked with athletes and coaches.

In 2013, Anthony joined The Ohio State University as a volunteer strength coach under the leadership of Beaver County Sports Hall of Famer Mickey Marotti. The following season, Anthony served as assistant strength and conditioning coach at Mississippi State University, which was the first season that the Bulldogs won ten regular season games and a season in which the Bulldogs spent five weeks at No. 1 in the AP Poll and three weeks first in the College Football Playoff rankings.

From 2015 to 2017, Anthony was the assistant strength and conditioning coach and the first director of sports science for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals. Anthony returned to Mississippi State University for the 2018 season, as director of strength and conditioning.

From 2019 to 2026, Anthony was the head strength and conditioning coach for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Under head coach Bruce Arians, for the 2020 offseason during the covid-19 pandemic, Anthony and his staff created a comprehensive virtual workout program, which included individualized workout plans that factored in equipment availability. In his tenure with the Buccaneers, Anthony worked with many elite NFL athletes, including Super Bowl LV MVP quarterback Tom Brady, who led NFL in passing yards (5,316) in 2021, and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who caught two touchdowns in the Bucs' Super Bowl LV victory.
