I am writing to provide my wholehearted recommendation for Tyrone L. Sellers as he embarks on his career in personal training. I had the privilege of working alongside Tyrone as a coach for both high school basketball and football, and I have witnessed firsthand the exceptional qualities he brings to the table as an athlete, coach, and leader.
As a former collegiate football star who also played professionally, Tyrone possesses an unparalleled depth of knowledge about athletics. His expertise is not only rooted in his personal accomplishments but also in his ability to teach and inspire others. He has a natural talent for breaking down complex concepts, tailoring them to individual needs, and motivating players to reach their full potential. Whether he was on the football field or the basketball court, Tyrone always led by example with integrity, dedication, and a relentless work ethic.
Beyond his athletic expertise, Tyrone is a genuine friend and mentor to everyone he works with. He has an innate ability to connect with people, understand their goals, and provide unwavering support. His charisma and passion for fitness and coaching create an environment where individuals thrive both physically and mentally.
I am confident that Tyrone's skills, experience, and character make him an exceptional personal trainer. He not only helps others achieve their fitness goals but also inspires them to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. He will be a tremendous asset to any client or organization fortunate enough to work with him.

Tyrone was my linebacker coach during my sophomore year and early spring season at Lincoln High School in Seattle, Washington. Working with Tyrone was an amazing experience. He helped me improve my technique on and off the field by making a structured plan for strength training and field drills. This helped me develop and become a dominant force in the weight room and on the field. Some skills we worked on were tackling techniques, reading offensive formations, pursuit angles, footwork, and communication to help me become a vocal leader on the field. Tyrone’s coaching style helped me connect with him as an individual and brought a level of fun and enjoyment to the game.
