Coach Matamoros’ Coaching Philosophy:

“I believe in creating a culture of excellence and instilling a desire to represent an institution in a positive and respectful manner by creating a set of team standards that each team member is accountable for. As a leader I look to observe other's strengths, and build upon these strengths, so that we can use these strengths to form a committed team who is willing to foster  success in one another. The term “It takes a village”, in the form of leadership, calls for different types of leaders and team members to work together for a common goal, by building connections with each other so that we can aid one another in their development towards becoming outstanding young men and women. We are never to act solely for ourselves, but to use our gifts and talents with and for others.”
