Coach Matt strongly believes in valuing the process over outcomes and in working hard when no one else is watching. His counseling background is fundamental in helping athletes overcome adversity, learn from failure, and build on their achievements—both on and off the field.
Matt’s wife, Erica, is his biggest supporter. Together, they have three children: Aiden, Zak, and Livia.
Coach Matt’s motto—passed down from his dad—says it all: Keep Swinging!
