Girls Director of Coaching Gary Curneen is delighted with the partnerships. “We are focusing on developing the total player here at Matthews USA and that includes lifestyle and mentally aspects also. Matthews USA are unique in a sense that we are now offering these resources to our players and to have TNT and Nori Pennisi as a resource for our players is a fantastic opportunity. The mental and physical aspects cannot be overlooked today and I believe that not only will our players benefit, but also our parents and coaching staff.”
