Athletic Lab is proud to announce the addition of Greg Gustin and Matt Hunter to our coaching staff. Both Greg and Matt join the Athletic Lab staff as Sport Performance Coaches following completion of our Coaches Apprenticeship program. Matt was enrolled in the program in the Fall of 2015 and Greg recently completed his mentorship in the Summer 2016 group.

I’m really excited about the addition of Greg and Matt to our coaching staff. Athletic Lab has one of the most experienced and credentialed coaching staffs in the country. Our standards for hire are more difficult than practically any place around so it can be difficult to find individuals that meet our requirements. Both Greg and Matt went through our rigorous mentorship program and also have extensive coaching experience elsewhere. They’ve proved themselves as excellent coaches and great fits to our community. Our coaches are the critical element that allow us to maintain the standard that our athletes and members have come to expect. I know Greg and Matt will uphold this standard and Athletic Lab even better.
