"Although I played many sports growing up, soccer was always my primary focus.  I was fortunate to travel the world as a youth player and am now fortunate to combine my 2 greatest passions for my career - soccer and teaching.  I thrive on players who bring intensity to their training sessions.  No matter your age or level, if you have the energy and desire to improve then I will help you fulfill your potential.  I have experienced probably all of the ups and downs a player can have in their career and I enjoy sharing what I've learned with the players I train so that their soccer path can be well-guided for success.  My advice to players is - Always cultivate strong relationships with teammates and coaches because the relationships in your playing career are invaluable and could be beneficial in the future, whether or not you go on to higher levels of competition."

Catalyst Soccer Testimonials:

• Warren Barton, FOX Soccer Analyst - "My experience with Matt Couch has been the highest level of professionalism. He has worked with my youth club teams and has made it an enjoyable and extremely beneficial experience. Also he is working with my semi-pro Flash team which consists of college players and ex MLS players. Not only providing them with a high level of fitness, but he has also helped the players with the prevention of possibly sports injuries. Matt as a person is organized, professional and very approachable. Very knowledgeable within his field and someone I highly respect."
• Paul K. - "Couch was an extremely effective and helpful coach for my son. He worked specifically on the goals we had set and was patient, persistent, and informative. We are very pleased with Couch's ability to hone in on our son's weaknesses and help him develop into an even better player."
• Daniel H. - "Couch has been a tremendous help with my son and has really taken him to the next level! He went from 1 year with a low level neighborhood club right into the top competitive club in the city within 1 season. With the skills and confidence that Couch helped my son achieve, his level of play has increased 100%. We look forward to sessions with Couch and my son lovse to use what he is taught in game situations. Thank you for everything!"
• Dave A. - "Coach Couch has been able to get the most out of my son and daugher. Their results on the field speak for themselves. He has completely connected with them in a way that enables them to push themselves harder then ever before!  Both my kids always say the workouts are hard when they're doing them, but then they can't wait until their next session! Couch has really been able to get the best out of them."
