Coach Matt is a non-negotiable component in my triathlon training recipe. From planning to execution, Matt guides me to perform at my highest level. During my Ironman builds, we are always in daily communication to get a pulse on how I’m feeling. He provides valuable feedback, making any necessary adjustments to keep me consistent and accountable. Matt does all this, while staying positive and pressure-free!

2x Ironman, 1st overall half-marathon winner, multi-podium athlete

I have been working with Coach Matt for over a year, and could not be more happy with the experience. I have not only had multiple PRs but have also learned so much about the sport of triathlon. Coach Matt is an exceptional human and those traits carry over into his coaching. He has answered my many questions, shown understanding when life interrupts a training program, and has provided me with both confidence and motivation to tackle things I thought to be out of reach. It brings a smile to my face knowing Coach Matt is not only in my corner for athletic endeavors but also life.

Matt has been such an incredible coach, and I truly value him. After many years of coaching, he is the best coach I’ve ever had!! We’ve had multiple age-group podiums and finished Sprint Triathlon World Competition in Australia performing even better than I could have ever expected!

Last season I trained under Matt Clark, and I followed his workout prescription closely week to week. He customized every aspect for me and provided clear race plans. This resulted in two age group podiums in short course Tris. Matt is such a great person and has a wonderful philosophy. I can’t thank him enough.

Multiple PRs in all running distances

Training under Coach Matt has completely transformed my running journey. I’ve not only become stronger and faster — achieving multiple PRs — but also became a smarter, more intentional athlete. He does an incredible job of bringing a deep passion for the sport that challenges you to grow not only physically, but as a true student of endurance sports. His positive, energetic, and confident personality make you feel like you are family and he will leave no stone unturned as he pushes you to your absolute limits. The level of accountability, all around care, and quality of training have been unmatched, and it continues to push me to break through barriers and set PRs that I didn’t think were possible.

70.3 finisher, multi-podium athlete

Coach Matt developed an excellent training plan and coached me throughout the year leading up to my first 70.3 at Eagleman. He took time to adapt my plan based on his analysis and my feedback. His coaching played a huge part in my ability to successfully complete a 70.3 after only racing sprints together previously. Thanks Coach!

1x Ironman, Teton Picnic Adventure Tri finisher

Working with Matt has been one of the best experiences I’ve had with a coach in any of the sports I’ve done. He’s as committed to success as you are and meets you where you’re at whether you’re a beginner or seasoned athlete. He adapts the programming not just to your schedule but to the size of your goal and as you grow as an athlete within the season all the while showing a genuine interest in your progress that is evident in his feedback. He has challenged me to give myself big goals that are still realistic and then gives an honest assessment and expectation of what the athlete will need to put in to achieve it.

Matt can do all this because of his depth of experience and knowledge in the endurance world - he’s not just a coach but a world class athlete himself, qualifying for and competing in the Ironman World Championships. Lastly, as a new athlete to triathlon, Matt provided immeasurable recommendations on gear, how to setup my bike, training knowledge, techniques and fundamentals with swimming that absolutely made the difference in completing “The Picnic” an unofficial mountain triathlon in the Grand Tetons, my main goal of last year. He is extremely reachable and responds quickly to questions all while balancing his own schedule for training never leaving me questioning what I needed to do. I fully trust Matt in any endurance based pursuit I have and will continue to have him mentor and coach me in any discipline I take on.
