Matt Larson has been a lifelong, multi-sport, recreational athlete. Following a career as a psychotherapist and child welfare worker, Matt decided to pursue his primary sport of cycling. His decision to attend the Fall Transition Camp at AthletiCamps in October 2002 proved to be pivotal for his cycling. Following the camp, he started being coached by Bruce Hendler, started racing his bike, and eventually became a USA Cycling Certified Bike Coach. Matt has a particular affinity for beginning cyclists and racers early in their careers. Guiding athletes as they grow and develop into their sport is a great joy for Matt. His background as a therapist makes him tuned into the inevitable mental stumbling blocks that athletes have early on in the pursuit of their sport. Matt has an eclectic style that pays attention to life-work balance, nutrition, and helping his athletes get the maximum enjoyment and performance they can out of this wonderful sport.
