Matt Oyler, and impressive athlete that I've known for a while, is starting a business that offers physical training for young athletes and also assists coaches. It's titled Undefeated by Choice and an Indiegogo account is helping provide funding. Below is a news release about the new business. We wish Matt, an amateur MMA fighter, success with the venture.
UNDEFEATED BY CHOICE:
A new
website is soon to be launched by a Weber County based company, Undefeated By
Choice (UBC). This website is designed for use by young athletes and their
coaches in both the city sponsored sports programs, and the junior high and
high school levels. Using this UBC tool, young athletes can greatly improve
their skills during the off-season, by following specifically designed drills
for speed, agility, and endurance. product will contain general training
techniques, future versions will incorporate training that will be sport
specific, and specific to different levels and ages. Their coaches and athletic
directors can use the site to track the participation and progress that their
players are making.
This
tool and concept is being developed by Matt Oyler, (seen above) a lifetime Weber County
resident. As a player, coach, and certified athletic trainer, Matt has come to
understand the lack of resources that most athletes have access to during their
off season. He has seen that the need to develop a year round program of
fitness and skill training is essential to those young athletes who desire to
reach their full potential.
As an
athletic trainer himself, Matt knows that most of these young people cannot
afford to hire a personal trainer. While his website will have a very minimal
cost, it will certainly be affordable for any income level of family. Matt has
met with numerous players, coaches, and athletic directors throughout Utah as
he has developed this concept and tool. Their enthusiasm and support for his
plan has been hugely encouraging, and has given him many additional ideas for
his development of the UBC site, “myteamtrainer.com”. In addition to the
training material, the site will provide Mattʼs unique, humorous, and wildly
enthusiastic motivational advice.
An Indiegogo
account will soon be opened to provide additional funding for ongoing
development of a high quality website, and marketing efforts.
