More About Coach Matthew
I have 6 Years of Defensive Back & Linebacker coaching experience and training athletes in football, working with both boys and girls of all ages, from beginners to advanced levels. Over the years, I’ve coached youth teams, high school players, and amateur adults, adapting my approach to suit the skill level and needs of each group. My focus is on developing strong technical skills, tactical awareness, and team dynamics. I believe in creating an inclusive and positive environment, where all players feel supported and motivated to improve. Whether working with young children just starting out or older athletes looking to fine-tune their abilities, I prioritize individual growth while fostering a strong sense of teamwork. My sessions are designed to challenge players, build confidence, and ensure they’re well-prepared for competitive play. Ultimately, I aim to help athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field. I worked with both boys and girls for flag football. Coached some 7 on 7 Camps in MA, Flag Football Girls & Coached NXT Era Panthers Pop Warner
Played Safety & Linebacker at Hudson Valley in NY. Competed in the National Graphic Bowl. Also played at Husson University in Maine. I was known for my hard-hitting style and dedication to the game. While I wasn't a star player, I consistently brought effort, discipline, and reliability to the field. My ability to read the game, communicate with teammates, and execute tough tackles was a key part of my contribution to the team’s defense. Off the field, I excelled in academics, balancing the demands of school with the commitment to my sport. I maintained a strong academic record, demonstrating time-management skills and discipline. As a team captain, I led by example, motivating my teammates with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. I took pride in fostering teamwork, supporting my fellow players, and helping elevate the performance of those around me. My journey was marked by resilience, leadership, and a commitment to both acad
A football training session with me focuses on both technical development and practical in-game application. We start with fundamental drills that enhance ball control, passing accuracy, dribbling, and shooting, ensuring players develop the necessary skills to perform under pressure. I emphasize perfecting techniques that can be directly applied during matches. As the session progresses, we incorporate tactical drills that simulate real-game situations, such as positional play, decision-making, and creating space. These drills help players understand how to use their technical skills effectively in a match context. I also run small-sided games to encourage players to apply what they’ve learned in realistic scenarios, promoting teamwork, communication, and adaptability. By the end of the session, players feel more confident in their abilities and better prepared to execute skills and strategies when it matters most on the field.

I was extremely impressed after just one session with coach Matthew. Coach Matthew was professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand my son's needs, focusing on agility, speed, and improving his skills. Even after just one session, my son walked away feeling more confident and excited about his progress. The personalized attention and expert guidance have already made a positive impact, and I can’t wait for the next session. I highly recommend coach Matthew to anyone looking to strengthen their game!
