Welcome to MBG Coaching LLC! My name is Matt Gustafson and I have the honor and distinction of holding coaching certifications in multiple fields. I am a Certified Professional Retirement Coach (CPRC) through the Retirement Project LLC and a Certified Endurance Events Specialist through the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
In addition to my industry certifications, I have over two decades of experience serving students and athletes in educational settings. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sport Management and a Master’s Degree in School Counseling. I have been a College Counselor for nearly 19 years. In this position I have had the privilege of guiding students of all ages as they pursue their career and academic goals.
When I embarked upon my counseling career, coaching sports after my school day concluded was always a part of the plan. As a former athlete, I wanted to give back to the sports that I loved competing in as a teenager. What I have learned during my several years of coaching basketball, cross country, and track and field is that I cherish the moments when I see people accomplish the goals they’ve set for themselves. To know that I was a part of helping individuals and teams achieve what they set out to do brings me more joy than I would have thought possible. I truly live for seeing others thrive.
A couple years ago, I was reading an article about retirement and the concept of non-financial Retirement Coaching was introduced. I was intrigued about how this particular role helps retirees (or more importantly - those soon to be) look beyond the money and plan for how to replace their identity, fill their time, maintain social connections, and stay mentally and physically healthy once work is no longer a necessity.
As one who has always been fascinated about the world of possibilities afforded to retirees, I knew the instant I was done reading the article that I wanted to come alongside those in the midst of retirement and help guide them in creating an intentional post-work life that is is meaningful, active, healthy, and fun. Once a coach, always a coach - regardless of the setting.
After earning my certifications, I knew it was time to start serving clients through MBG Coaching LLC. I have a host of coaching and consulting services that I offer so check them out below. I’d love to be a part of helping you write the next chapter of your life story so contact me for a free 20-minute consultation.
