"When I was coached by him, he was very passionate about the game. He played the game, knows the game, and he doesn’t play favorites. The players who are playing the best will be the ones on the field. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of all his players. He’s a players coach and knows the game very well. Basically, if I could, I would want to be coached by him again."

"I had a great experience with coach Matt! He made my transition from another college very smooth and easy! He’s going to be honest and direct with you whether that’s on or off the field. Coach Matt is one of the easiest people to get along with! Loves to talk about soccer and breaking down the game! He knows his players and motivates us day in and day out! Overall great coach!"

"Matt is one of the most knowledgable coaches I have come across. He is a great leader and a great coach to play for. "

"Believes in every player, knows the game very well, has what it takes to be a great coach, can and will make a program great."

"Matt has always been there to support his players, yet still be honest with them in giving constructive criticism in ways for the player to get better. He will strategically play certain people depending on the opponent and won’t be drawn to the favorites, but the people he can depend on to do a specific job he knows they can do."

"Coach got me a chance to play at the next level "

"Matt understands the game well and wants all of his players to succeed. He demands maximum effort all the time or you will start to fall out of favor. He can be easily frustrated and tougher to deal with if you don’t see eye to eye and lack effort. He runs very well organized training sessions. Players typically enjoy having a coach like this around. It is very easy to get feedback from him and he will tell you how it is good or bad. Motivating players is not his biggest strength, but I certainly was not unmotivated to play for him. He would do anything for his players that give him their all. "

"Great overall coach, understands what it’s like to be a player and is able to push his team towards a main goal. Loves the game and puts that passion into his coaching style. Very fun and adaptable as well. Always love when he creates the plan for practice"

"Matt was a great coach for me and had helped me develop myself into the player I am now. He was always energetic and happy and always motivated me and the other players to become the best we could be. Ny most memorable moment was when he went 1 on 1 with me and tripped and ate turf. He made our atmosphere a lot better than what it was without him."
