"I have worked with coaches on both ends of the spectrum. There are those who write incredible training, but fail to emotionally connect with their athletes; there are others who can form bonds with their athletes, but do not understand the physiology of the sport. Matt approaches training both mentally and physically. He engages in every workout and then goes the extra mile to check in after each session. In the six months we have been working together, I have shaved four minutes off my half marathon time and am ready to take a shot at the Olympic Trials standard in the marathon. Matt has become a coach, a friend and a mentor."
