Matthew Simons

Matthew Simons didn't learn mental toughness from a textbook—he forged it in the absolute rock-bottom grip of a decade-long opioid addiction. Today, he is a mindset and mental performance coach who helps athletes, high-stakes professionals, and individuals in recovery transform paralyzing chaos into life-shifting clarity.

While Matthew has stood on the podium of elite performance—rising to NCAA Head Coach, reaching a career-high world ranking of #241 on the ITF Masters tour, and anchoring a Top-25 NAIA team to multiple conference championships and national tournament appearances—his true expertise wasn't born on the court. It was born in the trenches of his own survival.

Drawing from the life-saving lessons that pulled him from the brink, he created the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. Blueprint: a tactical, step-by-step framework where every letter represents a crucial move toward reprogramming your internal operating system and reclaiming your life.

Matthew now dedicates his career to decoding the mechanics of human resilience. From performers to pros, collegiate and high-performance athletes to USTA league players and business owners to recovery groups, he teaches a raw, authentic, and highly actionable approach to psychological endurance. As the author of The Field Guide for Balance in a World of Chaos and The Mentally Tough Tennis Player, his mission is simple: to provide the tactical tools required to navigate extreme pressure and become the ultimate architect of your own reality.
