How would it feel in a matter of weeks to make your teammates and coaches marvel in awe at your athletic transformation?
I work with adult league players, college and professional athletes, and youth soccer players. Whether you want to lose body fat while still eating the foods you love, resolve your pain, or get faster and more explosive, I will help you achieve your goals.
“I can attest to the efficacy of his program and his methodology. This past January, Mat coached and managed us to a King’s Cup Championship after six years of trying and only making it out of the group stage once. We even beat a team in the final comprised of former professional footballers from Panama who traveled to Vegas with a team masseuse. I can honestly say one of the biggest, if not the biggest, contributing factor to our success was Mat’s ability to keep 100% of us fit and healthy throughout the tournament with his pre-game warmup regiment and regular, injury-risk triaging/care…an incredible accomplishment I have never seen or experienced in our age bracket. I highly recommend consulting with Mat.”

“My vert started at around 26 and right now I am able to get to 31.5. After completing the first program overall I felt stronger throughout my whole body but in goal I felt as if diving was somewhat easier as I started to hold onto some shots that I used to have to push away. Also my ankles feel much stronger than before. Thanks again for the program it really made a difference!!”

Tired of getting injured? By looking at your specific running, cutting, and landing mechanics, I will create individualized programs to improve your mobility and stability.
Want to be able to blow by defenders or chase down attackers? In a matter of days you will run faster from 0-10 meters, 20-30 meters, and longer, depending on your goals. Based on your force-velocity athletic profile I will create a specific program to improve your speed.
How would it feel to outlast everyone in the second half? I will strategically improve your fitness levels around your current schedule
Here is how the program works:
STEP 1: We schedule a 15-minute video chat where I get to know you and your soccer goals including any challenges you are facing. We discuss injury history, soccer schedule, etc. If we decide it is a good fit and you are someone who will stick to the program and do the work, we move to the next steps…
STEP 2: You will complete a few simple biomechanic/athletic tests that will help me assess your athletic profile. This includes a few photos and filming yourself walking and jogging from the front and side so I can address your biomechanics. It’s quick and easy and I will send more details once we agree to train.
Cutting Edge Playermaker Technology
We will also discuss the option of including GPS analysis using Playermaker Technology. You will have access to your own performance that we will integrate into your overall periodization plan and programming, just like the pros. With the use of objective data, it allows me (and you) to view your progress and adjust training loads week by week and make alterations to your training program and schedule. Each training session and match we can track your key performance indicators.
STEP 3: In less than a week you will receive a customized, first month training program tailored to your needs and soccer schedule. We will also be in touch regularly with weekly check-ins and consistent support to ensure you achieve your goals.
This is not like anything else on the internet. I do not just accept anyone, I need to see you operate with integrity and will follow instructions. Otherwise, we are wasting each other’s time.
Where else will you get:
Diagnostic Testing and Analysis
Simple tests that help me determine your areas of need as an athlete, joint and movement restrictions, and more.
This stage is crucial to develop your individual training plan to help you prevent injury as well as your performance orientated training program
This also helps determine what exercises and type of training you need. Are you fast but lack strength, or vice versa? Are you fluid or stiff in your movement? Do you have good ankle range of motion? Things like this are addressed.
Individualized, scientfic, evidence-based training Program
Updated every 4 weeks and on the fly if necessary
Instructional videos in Trainerize App scheduled into calendar
Designed around your soccer schedule and lifestyle
Accountability and Education
Bi-weekly coaching calls where we address any concerns to ensure your progress
Access to the Hero Soccer Performance WhatsApp Group where other athletes in the program share wins, clips of their training for feedback, links to relevant articles, studies, etc.
See what Chip, father of 12-year-old Ella had to say after just one month of training:
“It’s going great. She is clearly stronger and her balance has improved. She had her second cross country meet on Tuesday and her form has improved markedly. Even at the end of the race, her feet weren’t turning out and her knees weren’t turning in - great alignment. And the best part is that she said she “wasn’t thinking about it, just doing it”!
In soccer, she took a free kick last night from the edge of the center circle and hit the top corner of the crossbar and post. The ball bounced straight into the middle of the 6 yard box, and another girl finished it. Before starting this program she would have had to loft the ball in to get that kind of distance, but she smashed the ball with all 85 pounds that she has. While her power was a big part of that, her balance has also helped her transfer more power to the ball.”
