Soccer has taught Matt Kelsey lessons that reach far beyond the pitch, including commitment, resilience, accountability, and the importance of being part of a team. Through the game, he has learned to support others, work through setbacks, and understand that everyone has something to contribute.

​

Matt's coaching philosophy is to help players develop confidence, enjoy the game, and recognize the value they bring to their team. He wants his players to improve on the field while learning to support one another, take responsibility, and persevere when things are difficult.

​

What Matt loves about Houston Surf is the culture, the appreciation shown to coaches and players, and the direction the club is moving in. The community spirit, shared commitment, and sense of belonging remind him of his own club experience in England. He feels valued and supported and appreciates being part of a club that puts players and their development first. For Matt, being part of the Surf family is an opportunity to pass on what the game has given him.

From a Houston Surf Parent

​

"Some coaches teach the game. You changed a life.

​

You saw something in her and refused to let her settle for less than the best. Because of you and your help, she is headed to play D1 soccer. You gave her the best gift — it was the belief she now carries in herself.

​

You are forever part of our family story."

— The Snyder Family
