Matt, who has been racing professionally since 2014, shares his journey from being an exercise science professor to becoming one of the top triathletes in the world.

Despite facing significant challenges this year, including a ruptured cyst in his knee, Matt remains focused on achieving his goals. He opens up about how he adapted his training using the LEVER system to maintain peak performance while managing his injury.

“It's really hard to sum up my training methodology in a sentence or two because, basically, my job as a coach is to treat everybody as an individual,” Matt explains, highlighting his commitment to personalized coaching.

Matt also discusses the mental and physical demands of balancing a professional triathlon career with his coaching business, saying, “When you're coaching, you have to be the example you want your athletes to follow. There’s a lot of accountability that comes with that.”
