More About Coach Matthew

I am currently a professional soccer player for the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. As well as performing in sports for many years now, I also have my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, specifically Exercise and Sport Science from Temple University and am currently getting my MBA from Bellevue University. I am entering my 7th year of professional soccer and I thoroughly enjoy working with athletes aged 10 and above because I believe my knowledge in soccer can help them achieve whatever goals they desire. This can include making a college team, or just getting to a level where they are playing on their club team. I have coached youth athletes since I was 18 years old, and for the past 10 years have been training one on one and small group sessions to athletes of all ages.

Currently, I am a professional soccer player for the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in the United Soccer League Championship division. I am entering my 7th year of playing professional soccer. For my first two professional seasons, I played professionally for the Philadelphia Union affiliate Bethlehem Steel FC, of the United Soccer League (USL). For me third and fourth seasons, I played for Sacramento Republic FC in the USL. This is now my third year playing for the Switchbacks. I attended and played Division 1 collegiate soccer at Temple University in Philadelphia, graduating in May of 2017. I played in every single collegiate game throughout my 4 years in a variety of different positions, and was a 2 year captain. Over the summers of 2014-2016, I played semi-professionally in the Premier Development League (PDL), now USL league 2, for the Jersey Express. Prior to college, I played for academy teams BW Gottschee as well as the New York Red Bulls.

A typical 1 on 1 session with me would include a lot of technical work on the ball, as well as spreading my tactical knowledge of the game. Cone drills, finishing, dribbling, passing, agility with the ball, and tons of touches on the ball in general will be paramount in my sessions. I graduated from Temple University with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science so if necessary, I am well-versed in increasing one's fitness characteristics and helping them become more fit to be a better soccer player. But, my main goal is to make my clients better soccer players, so everything in my sessions will be surrounded around ball work and soccer specific drills. My belief is that a player with a great technical ability that is confident on the ball will be able to play any position and thrive.
