Matthew P.

I have played football for 8 years at major college and professional level. I played college at University of Florida and Boston College as well as for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I have coached at the High School Level during interim times. I have a younger brother that now plays college football at the University of Miami. I worked with him all throughout his childhood and coached him during his high school career as well as through his college career today. I am a CPT through ISSA and train clients on a regular basis. I have coached at the High School Level and I can work with any age group to develop skills necessary and provide precise targeted results technical to achieving your personal goals in football. Through a detailed outline of what type of training we agree best suits my clients needs I can personally demonstrate technique and communicate the best technique to achieve goals. I am a wealth of football knowledge technically, schematically, and especially in the training/injury preparation and recovery. I can work with my clients to accomplish their goals.

As a high school football player in Tampa I was awarded several All-American rankings, 5-star rivals, etc. I earned a scholarship to the university of Florida, where I started as a DL as a frosh and won a national championship in 2008. I then played OT and went on to be a captain in 2011 before transferring to Boston College for my final year of eligibility in 2013. At BC I was awarded All ACC honors and played LT for the single season rushing record season when Andre Williams ran for over 2000 yards and was a hiesman finalist. Played 2014 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Football is in my blood, my father played professional football, two uncles, and my younger brother currently plays for the Miami Hurricanes. During the NFL combine I ran the fastest 10 yard split for any OL ever 1.53 and jumped 34 inch vertical.

After meeting with the client and establishing their goals, I can determine exactly how to plan each training session. I would usually start with a warm up for about 10-15 minutes, this would include light static and mostly dynamic stretches. After that I would take my client through a set of drills gradually narrowing the scope of emphasis. Depending on the position of the player/players I am working with I will choose the appropriate set of drills to work their skills. These drills are more technique emphasis as opposed to "tiring out" my players. They will require effort and correct technique might make clients sore by using muscles they usually don't however, the utmost importance will always be placed on correct technique. Technique will prevent injury and make the client a much better player on the field. I have rope, chains, belts, medicine balls, and pulleys. All possible equipment that will be utilized during our field workout. After the workout I can also provide my clients with gym workouts to continue to improve from the work gained at the field.
