“My biggest strength is the mental side of the game.”
— Thomas Viglianco, 9-Year Professional
The Journey
From D.C. to the Pros to Lincoln
The Beginning
Born in Washington D.C., raised in Alabama. All-state player at Bob Jones High School. Top 100 nationally by scouting services. Attended the Adidas ABCD camp for the top 200 players in the nation.
College Ball
Full scholarship to William & Mary (D1). Transferred to Birmingham Southern to chase the pro dream. Graduated with a business degree in 2006. Education always came first.
Going Pro
Signed with a sports agent and launched a 9-year professional career across Italy, France, Denmark, Iceland, and Ireland. Played in Italy's top league alongside future NBA players. Competed against some of the best players in the world.
Coming to Nebraska
Moved to Lincoln, NE after his first pro season. What started as a summer visit became a second home. Began training the next generation while still playing overseas.
Building Viglianco Hoops
Built one of the most respected training programs in the state. 1,000+ athletes trained. 100+ college scholarships. Alumni in the NBA, WNBA, and top European leagues. Connected across the basketball world — from NCAA coaching staffs to NBA front offices.
The Philosophy
You don't have to run the fastest, jump the highest, or be the strongest to play this game. I focus on the mental side — how to think, how to compete, how to win. Not just basketball — life.
