Tony Gattarello, Senior Recruiting Coordinator

University of Mount Union

(872) 215-1015

I have loved sports my entire life. Growing up in downtown Cleveland you learned to live and breathe sports every day. I grew up watching football, baseball, and basketball. I played almost every sport when I was younger but created a new path for myself by playing soccer through my high school career. I played travel soccer during the winter, spring, and summer following the high school season in the fall.

Unfortunately, I was unable to play college soccer for the fact I had a complete reconstruction of my ACL in my left knee and decided I was better off looking out for my health. This did not keep me away from sports as I decided that I would become a student assistant coach for the new Mount Union men’s volleyball team. Here I help the team take a step from having a losing season the first year to less than 5 losses over the next two years. In my final year, we made it to our conference finals after just being a newly created program three years ago.

My goal is to make sure I can set up any family with the recruitment process and be able to get into positions that they may have never thought were a possibility.
