Matt Ibrahim leans in this week to give us a better understanding of what it is like to be a great coach that communicates well. Matthew’s background lies in performance coaching and also in the rehab sector. He has been mentored by and worked with some amazing coaches in the Boston area including Mike Boyle and Tim DiFrancesco (formerly LA Lakers). Currently, he's finishing his PhD with a focus on hamstring injury reduction & deceleration training; working as a professor creating the curriculum for 5 undergrad Ex Sci / Coaching classes; helping to build Science for Sport - Coach Academy; and has his own online training business. 

Matthew has his hands in a lot of different areas and is at the top of his game. Throughout this episode he:

-       Explains his story failing out of school to PhD

-       Coaching 

-       Meeting patients and clients where they are at

-       Why changing your tone, pitch, and eye contact for different clients is a priority

-       Entrepreneurship and Burnout

-       The fear of failure

-       The importance of a speaking coach

-       Mastering social awareness and emotional intelligence (EQ)
