MATT TORRES
JACKSONVILLE, FL
HEAD COACH | CEO BRUTE
How long have you been coaching? CrossFit athletes? 1-1?
I opened my first CrossFit affiliate in 2013 and started my path in 1-1 remote coaching in 2015. Back then my goal was to coach a CrossFit Games athlete. Looking back 10 years later, I’ve coached 100’s of CrossFit Games athletes across all divisions. Now my goal is to coach a CrossFit Games champion.
How long have you been coaching for Brute?
I’ve been coaching for Brute since 2018.
What is your favorite thing about being a coach?
My favorite part about coaching is being able to witness my athletes achieve their biggest dreams.
What is your favorite thing to coach?
My favorite thing to coach is pacing and strategy.
What is your favorite CrossFit event to attend?
My favorite CrossFit event is the CrossFit Games because we get to test all of our training to see where we stack up.
Why do you coach for Brute?
I coach for Brute because I enjoy our community of coaches and athletes. We all strive to be great and I know that I can lean on our coaches and athletes for any support that I may need.
What makes coaching for Brute different from other camps?
We have an athlete centered approach to program development which means that we take a collaborative approach with our athletes to get them where they need to be.
Why do you think an athlete should get a 1-1 coach?
Our coaching staff has a very good track record for taking athletes from quarterfinals to Semifinals, athletes in the teen division to competing at the CrossFit Games. I’m confident that we can get you where you want to be.
