Coach
coach-avatar Matthew Bruninghaus

12 years experience training over a thousand athletes. I have been mentoring and coaching student athletes since 20years old. I work with athletes from 9 years old, to high school varsity sports, to collegiate level play and professional level play. Seeing these athletes succeed throughout their career starting from the youth level is extremely rewarding. CPT, USAW, CFSC

""My name is Joe Gaziano, I started training with Matt when I was a sophomore at Xaverian. The training I did with Matt helped me to gain strength while dramatically improving my speed. My junior season I recorded 12 sacks and 63 tackles and caught the attention of many Division 1 football programs."
