“Having the opportunity to know Matt for so many years, it came as no surprise to me that he became such a successful runner and coach.  What I couldn’t have predicted is what makes him such an incredible coach.  Matt truly understands people.  Not just the PRs they can hit or progress they can make, but he understands the athlete as a whole, and the level of investment he has in his athletes in unparalleled.  

Matt has a way of building the confidence of the athlete and creating a space for them to simultaneously set big goals and believe in their ability to achieve them.  His optimism and relentless belief in his athletes is infectious.  The creation of Boulder Underground was simply an extension of something Matt was already building through his coaching and involvement in his community.  BU meets a need that as athletes, we crave - an organized, fun, and supportive group that brings out the best of everyone who is fortunate enough to be involved with it.”
