For Matt coaching is more than just developing a player on-court. He believes strongly that his role is holistic approach to player develop teaching values and ethics that players can take with them throughout life.

In particular Matt would love to develop a program for the disadvantaged youth in our community and bring people from all race, religion and socio-economic group together on court.
