Client Reviews
Agustina (CoachUp client)
I really liked today’s session! I’m excited for the upcoming ones
Briana (CoachUp client)
Coach Matt is awesome and I highly recommend him. His knowledge of the sport and experience is invalauable, but what really sets him apart is his expertise in anatomy and physiology. I live (and play rugby) in a foreign country. I was coming off a dislocated shoulder injury and I decided to get a few one-on-one training sessions in on vacation. I am new to the sport and the sessions I was able to spend with him set a great foundation for my growth as a player. There are so many fine tuned details to the game that can really accelerate your performance and that individual coaching really helped me to see them. He is extremely professional, accommodating and easy to be around. I just wish that I could have gotten a few more sessions with him, however I will definitley book him again when I am in the area.
