Matt M.

Nathalie V./ Parent of Former Player (Testimonial)

We worked with Matt in a basketball rec program league. He develops a great relationship with all the kids who are excited to work with him each week. Matt is an athlete himself and has a natural ability and desire to bring out the best in every kid. He breaks down all the skills and in the end all the kids improve and gain confidence.

Kevin K. /Former Player (Testimonial)

I have known Coach McRae since 2010. I first met Coach when he was my Freshman football coach. He was hard working, caring and never gave up on us. He has inspired me to be a better person both on and off the field.

Matt R./Teammate (Testimonial)

At the age of 19 I joined the Taunton Gladiators (Eastern Football League) with limited experience and coming off two years away from football. Matt immediately took me under his wing and within a few practices in I found myself paying just as much attention to him as the coaches. It was clear his knowledge of the fundamentals of the game and our system matched and even surpassed that of the coaching staff. Because of my limited experience, I lacked some of the basic knowledge and skills that you are assumed to posses playing at the amateur level. Matt took advantage of any opportunity to coach up any deficiencies of mine that he noticed. Matt would help me throughout practice and often times would stay late, correcting poor habits I had developed years prior. Matt was understanding of my background and was very patient, sometimes correcting the same mistake multiple times within the same practice. I am now on my 6th year with the Gladiators and just recently won my second EFL Championship. He still helps me till this day and I am one hundred percent positive that I would have never been able to compete this long and have such amazing memories if it wasn’t for Matt.
