Matt Hoskins Bio
“Matt brings a uniquely intuitive understanding of the body in direct concert with the latest research involving fitness, strength, and movement, creating a new art form for training. He elevates it beyond the measurable parameters of testing speed, weights, and endurance.
By bringing his professional insight and expertise directly in alignment with the foundational principles of anatomy and musculoskeletal resilience, Matt specifically reeducates the body’s innate proprioceptive capacity to optimize its inherent potential, unwinding the habitual patterns that limit daily and athletic function, taking each person gradually out of compensatory adaptation towards a complete reorientation of the body’s full capacity.
The outcome is enhanced performance, reduced injury rate, and unequivocal improved functional prowess. - Dr. Mitch Peritz

The Toby Dawson Story
The U.S. Olympic Ski Team Strength Coach sent Toby “Awesome” Dawson to train with Matt Hoskins for his upcoming World Cup events and the Torino Olympic Games. Toby started training with a fresh spiral tib/fib fracture and out of the World Cup Rankings. I set up a program that was highly suited to his corkscrew style on the moguls. The regime was designed to take his training right up to the 2006 Olympic Games.
Eight months into the training program, Toby was featured on the cover of Outside magazine with the title: “Top Three Conditioned Athletes on the Planet.” For the article, he was evaluated by the Boise State Physiology Department that tested the results of the core, cardio, explosion and flexibility program I had designed for him. After completing the full training program in 2006, Toby shocked the world. Toby Dawson’s story captivated the entire planet for two weeks in February 2006. Under the lights in the village of Sauze d’Oulx, Dawson put down a spectacular run to win a bronze medal. But the medal run for the former World Champion was but a small part of his Olympic story.
He beat out the worlds best Mogul/Freestyle skiers, including standout and gold medal favorite, Jeremy Bloom from the University of Colorado, to capture the 2006 Olympic bronze medal in dramatic fashion.He beat out the worlds best Mogul/Freestyle skiers, including standout and gold medal favorite, Jeremy Bloom from the University of Colorado, to capture the 2006 Olympic bronze medal in dramatic fashion.
In response to his Olympic medal, Toby became a Korean national hero given a parade attended by over a million people and the keys to Seoul. He is currently head coach of the South Korean Olympic mogul skiers and aided Pyongyangs effort to win the 2018 Olympic bidding. He was inducted into the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2012. Toby was an orphan lost in a market when he was 3 years old. His father spent years searching orphanages for his lost son. A year after the Olympics, in a tearful reunion in Seoul, Dawson met his real father and his family. A reunion that might never have happened had it not been for grabbing the worlds attention that memorable evening on the moguls course in Sauze.
“Matt Hoskins is a key element in helping me to obtain a position on the 2008 U.S.A. Women’s Marathon Olympic Team. He has integrated a strengthening program that has and continues to enhance self differentiation: the process of taking one’s own shape and staying in connection with the goal in mind. His expertise in the field of mind, body and sport is truly a gift to experience and one that will influence life changes. Individuals seeking a personal trainer with these qualities will definitely open the doorway to creating one’s fullest human potential.”

“Matt Hoskins created the most unique and strength and conditioning program I have ever used. As well or better than any NFL or Collegiate strength coach, he put together a highly effective explosive, strength and stability training specifically suited to my position. After working Matt’s program, I was in the best shape of my life and did so well in my tryout with the Indianapolis Colts I will play for them next year. Thanks again!”
