We were fortunate enough to have Coach Thomann speak to our athletes. His powerful message of not only getting through adversity but using adversity to make us stronger was inspiring. His personal stories and inspirational examples have stayed with our student athletes and with me. I have known Matt for decades – he is a person of integrity and someone who makes others better.

My early morning sessions with Coach Thomann were a huge part of my 2022. He pushed me to think beyond the “woe is me” attitude I had in my head all revolving around our sweet boy. Pushing past that wall truly helped me see things in a different view. I wish that was something I had as a teen or in college to prep me for life.  100% worth it!
