Meet Your Coach
Tom Hill
Professional athlete. Certified strength and conditioning specialist. 17+ years coaching athletes and adults. Founder of WilCo Athletics.
“I see where you are. I understand where you want to go. I have the experience to help you get there.”
The Short Version
Why Tom’s Experience Matters for Your Athlete
Tom does not coach from a textbook. He coaches from experience as an athlete who trained through every level, and as a coach who has spent over 17 years helping others do the same.
He knows what it feels like to prepare for professional competition. He knows what it takes to build an athlete from the ground up. And he understands the doubts, plateaus, and turning points that parents and athletes face along the way.
That experience is not the point of WilCo Athletics. It is why you can trust the system. Tom has been where your athlete wants to go — and he has spent his career helping people get there.
Athletic Background
Built Through Every Level of Competition
Tom began training with a performance coach at age 12, an experience that shaped his understanding of what structured development looks like when it starts early.
He trained through the Parisi Speed School system, developing a foundation in speed, strength, and athletic performance that carried through high school, college athletics, and into professional competition.
After college, Tom was drafted and competed professionally. That experience taught him what high-level preparation truly requires: discipline, consistency, resilience, and willingness to push beyond what feels comfortable.
Those lessons are now built into every WilCo Athletics program.
Coaching Career
17+ Years Helping Athletes and Adults Reach Their Next Level
In 2009, Tom opened his first fitness and performance business. Over approximately 12 years, he built a company that coached thousands of athletes and adults through structured training, nutrition guidance, and real accountability.
He helped youth athletes develop into collegiate competitors. He helped adults lose significant weight, rebuild after injuries, and create lasting health habits. He helped teams prepare for seasons with structured speed and conditioning programs.
Tom successfully grew and sold that business in 2021. The coaching systems, training methods, and development philosophy he refined over those years are the foundation of WilCo Athletics.

Coaching Philosophy
Every Person Has Another Level
Tom does not believe in shortcuts, hype, or empty promises. He believes in preparation, structure, consistency, and honest coaching.
His philosophy is grounded in one idea: every person, regardless of age, background, or starting point, has another level they have not reached yet. The job of a coach is to see that potential, build the plan, and walk alongside the client through the work.
That means telling athletes the truth about where they are. It means building programs that match their real needs, not what is trendy or easy. It means holding clients accountable to the goals they set.
And it means developing the whole person, not just their 40-yard dash time.
“The goal is not just better athletes. The goal is better people. Discipline, confidence, resilience, preparation, those qualities carry athletes through sport and through life.”
