More About Coach Matthew
I have been coaching and training for over 10 years now. I have helped numerous student athlete commit to colleges at all levels over those years. I have worked with NBA, FIBA, college, and other professional level players. I currently am the assistant men's basketball coach at Warren Wilson College.
I was a 4 year starter in high school, played travel basketball all 4 years of high school. I went on to play NCAA Division 3 basketball. After college, I spent some time playing semi professional basketball. Due to injuries I stopped playing and began my coaching career.
First session plan: We will discuss your goals, strengths and weaknesses. We will break down what we need to work on to achieve your goals and work on building up your weaknesses as well as improve your strengths.

We are so very fortunate to have met Matt. He is the exact thing as a parent love about a coach. My son couldn't be happier. So glad he is local to continue helping and giving my son tools to become a better player for a lifetime.
Matt was on time already arrived when we pulled up, he had proper aides to assist in lesson directives, showed by example what to do, no yelling and screaming supporting and encouraging my young son. We can not wait for another coach lesson and many more to follow. Worth every penny and then some.

Coach Matthew is a great coach. My son is a Jr. in high school and is starting to get his college recruiting process into full swing and he knows that this off season and the next year will be crucial to to him getting the type of college offers he's looking for.
We have faith that Coach Matthew will help him take his game to the next level and achieve his goals, he's very knowledgeable and passionate about his approach to training. He is helping my son not only improve his skills but also preparing him mentally by giving him advise about how to navigate the recruitment process.

Bo (Testimonial)
Bo was a young 3rd grade athlete that needed help with shooting, confidence, and footwork. He had a lot of heart and improved on all aspects of the game. Ball handling, confidence, and is shooting mid range at a high percentage, and working on three point shooting.
Isaiah (Testimonial)
Isaiah came to me shooting with both hands, okay ball handling, and was shy. He is now shooting consistent jump shots with a form, taking control at point guard, and commanding an offense. He never played organized basketball and is now starting for a travel basketball team.
Chris (Testimonial)
Started from a kid that couldn't make a left hand layup to a kid dribbling with both hands and finishing strong every play. Could barely reach the rim on a three pointer and now is hitting them at a good percentage.
