Client Reviews

Matt has a great rapport with kids. Our 13-year-old son picked up some great training techniques during his first session and is looking forward to his next session. Matt has also helped him focus on the mental aspects of preparation and games that will help him continue to develop as an athlete.

Matt is an inspirational,motivated leader who inspires everyone he comes in contact with to strive to achieve their goals. His skills as a coach and basketball instructor are unsurpassed. His genuine concern for everyone he comes in contact with is infectious. The atmosphere he creates is a nurturing one for everyone involved, whether they are a client or fellow employee. If you have a child give him to Matt to work with and he or she will become a better athlete and more importantly a better person
Matt is a great teacher and adviser. I called him to work with my son, he was able to instill a confidence and work ethic that my son still uses today. Matt was able to talk to him and prepare him for high school.
My children have been in Matt's programs for the last few years. It isn't simply the basketball skills Matt teaches, it is the life skills. I have "borrowed" some of Matt's teachings in my own business presentations! Success is a Choice! He cares about every child reaching to be the best they can be, not just only those who are going to the NBA! He has also been a guest instructor at a summer camp my children attend with rave reviews. He is a very positive influence on my kids and I can't recommend him highly enough
I hired Matt to work with my son, he was 12 at the time, and from a few sad, life challenging losses in our personal lives, my sons confidence and ability to "know what he wants" started to become a real issue in his sports. His dreams were slowly becoming next to nil. Matt rekindled, through a loving and truly authentic approach, a spark in my son that he ran with. The lessons were at my sons level, he could absorb what Matt was trying to get into his heard, and heart. My son has all the talent a young man could only dream of, but a broken spirit on the mend. I am proud to say my son is now 15, was been the "starter" on every basketball team (AAU, middle school basketball, and local Travel A teams, for the past two years. He even became the starting tight end at Arch Bishop Wood high school in football, from the confidence Matt was able to instill in him. He placed 12th in the county at Camp Phenom, AAU's annual basket camp for 150 kids who have excel'd in basketball throughout the country. This is all from a kid that ended up warming the bench most of his season as a 12 year old, with a broken heart and no spirit. Matt reminded him of his talent, his dreams and the reality of how working hard is the only way to achieve. It's working. My son will check in every year until he is out of college...to make sure Matt feels he is focused and on track. We adore Matt for too many reasons to list.
I recommend Matt Paul to anyone who would like to find a basketball trainer for their children. Matt's teaching style is terrific. He is able to provide the kids with fundamental skills they need to be successul at basketball and, more importantly, life. I have sent two of my boys to Matt Paul Basketball clinics and will be sending the third one soon.
My son James has been coached by Matt Paul for the last three years. Matt has taught James the game of basketball. The emphasis on fundamentals, drills and technique both on and off the court are the foundation that James will successfully grow with. Coach Paul is passionate about teaching, is an example of impeccable sportsmanship, and has created an extremely thorough program that accomplishes results in a fun and non-discriminative environment. Coach Paul is authentic in his desire to shape and mold the potential of each child that he and his staff work with. As a business man Matt Paul's professionalism is extremely impressive. Matt is on top of cutting edge technology and uses it. His marketing is fantastic and his availability to communicate with is effortless. Coach Paul is continually learning and improving himself and runs his company both on and off the court with excellence. Coach Paul's knowledge of the sport and the ethics he teaches while teaching the game make him not only an excellent coach but also a encouraging role model. Success is a Choice is a positive presence in the community. The proof is in the product and James has an understanding of the sport far superior than his peers, his growth as a skilled player continue to improve and James passion for the game is a direct result of his involvement in working with Matt Paul's Success is a Choice.
Matt is a consumate professional who gives every attention to detail and results. He has provided coaching services beyond the realm of sports but has expertise in developing the whole athlete. My son (a rising 9th grader) has trained with Matt since he was 8 years old and his greatest basketball accomplishments are based on the Matt Paul foundation of "working hard and having fun". I recommend Matt without reservation
Matt is an exceptional leader and team builder. Matt has the ability to bring everyone together to achieve their goals at their own pace. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with Matt is truly fortunate.
My sons and their friends, based on my recommendation, have attended Matt's clinics and camps. All of the children have learned not just basketball skills, but also life lessons; Matt uses basketball to teach young people many lessons about life success. Matt has built a successful business delivering clinics, after school programs and camps to the Delaware Valley. It has been exciting and rewarding to witness Matt's businness grow from a program with fewer than fifteen (15) children to multiple sessions with greater than thirty (30) children each.
Matt and his instructor team absolutely understand how to help the young athlete reach their full basketball potential. Your child will be taught the right way, tailored to their skill development needs, in a fun, motivating environment.

Matt is an amazing motivator who has excellent skills teaching kids from K-12 the basic, intermediate and advanced basketballs skills. Matt mixes basketball technique, conditioning and tactics with essential life lessons in his clinics. I have used him for birthday parties as well as group coaching and 1-1 coaching for myself and my son with excellent results. Both my kids LOVE his clinics and camps and always ask when the next session is. - Marc Dencker, Microsoft
