About

I have coached for over 35 years on the community, high school, college, and Olympic levels.

My athletes and clients have been women and men ages 16-70, from novice to Olympic skill levels. I have coached sprinters, middle distance & distance runners, 1/2-marathon & marathoners, and triathletes from the sprint to Ironman distance. My coaching plans include economy of movement and mental skills training.

I have also successfully guided individuals in a wide range of unique activities, sports, and challenge events. I welcome coaching opportunities that call for innovative techniques and methods.

My graduate level education focused on exercise science and sport psychology.

I have competed at elite levels as a runner, Nordic skier, and triathlete.

I love guiding people to their desired finish lines.

I really enjoy teaching and mentoring athletes.

I love watching athletes finish workouts that boost their mental toughness, and elevate their confidence.

    Coach Matt is an amazing coach! In just 1 year, he helped me take 2 minutes off my cross country 8K PR. My sophomore year of college, I ran 12 PRs under Coach Matt. I also appreciated that even at the elite level, Coach Matt always emphasized important values like love of the sport, longevity, and believing in yourself.
