Nike Sport Performance Clinic with Massi-Machado Strength & Conditioning

In his more than three decades in the field, he has been developing athletes and fitness clients of all ages and levels under his training methodology, which set the trajectory for his becoming a highly respected coach, subject material expert, and industry resource to professional athletes and teams from all sports, local, collegiate and national athletes, as well as institutions and organizations including yet not limited to; World Recording Holding Sprinter Dedrick Clark, NFL player agent Kevin Fitzpatrick, the Hong Kong National Ice Hockey Team & Academy program director, German Olympic Field Hockey Team, Adler-Manheim German Professional Ice Hockey Team, Bundesliga Academy & Soccer Team, German Olympic Lifting Coaches, Tsunami Barbell Flexible Barbells, Boditrak & Swing Balance Velocity/Force/Balance technologies, and many others. More than merely understanding the physiological requirements associated with developing performance in athletes and clients, he is truly a master of recognizing and nurturing the emotional component. Suffering the loss of both of his parents by the time he was eighteen, Coach Massi has turned various challenges into victories and has learned the art of perseverance. Guy said, “Due to seemingly insurmountable challenges in my teenage years, I once ballooned to over 300 pounds – and it was all emotional! I had two options; 1) either succumb to defeat or 2) overcome and serve as an example to others. – I chose option 2”.

Formerly a competitive Mixed Martial Artist, his work ethic and commitment to his own training caught the eye of his mentor/personal strength and conditioning coach, Guy Massi, leading to the two forming M2Strength. On his own since his teens, Craig has turned his experience in surmounting life’s challenges towards lending to the development of clients and athletes. Coach Machado is a key part of our collegiate and professional on-location travel team, and has a particular specialty in MMA conditioning. He has spent clinical hours working with doctors and physical therapists rehabilitating clients and athletes of all ages and levels. Coach Machado has also spent time training in Thailand, where he was exposed to different perspectives on fitness, performance, and functional training. He remains dedicated to serving our clients and athletes through programming, classes, and individual performance coaching, while developing programs to better serve our people.

He has been in the ranks of the M2 system since he was 11 years old as part of pre-teen training groups, then began to live and breathe the system progressions as he moved into the higher-level training protocols. Coach Matt is the Community Outreach & Recruitment Director for M2 Athlete Prospects (an IG subsidiary) that identifies collegiate prospects and helps to track them towards attainable collegiate recruitment, selection and scholarship objectives. He is also the lead examiner for Massi Training Concepts (Material X Performance), persistently testing for developmental relevancy and providing proof of concept within the HyperNova© training methodology. Coach Matt is one of the youngest coaches ever to demonstrate and/or present both nationally and internationally on the subject matter of Speed, Agility, Strength, Power and Flexible Barbell Training. Coach Matt develops home-force, work-force and of course; student-athletes.
