About

Introduction

Welcome to Pinning Philosophy Coaching! Founded by Matt Paeth, our mission is to empower individuals to achieve peak performance and personal growth through tailored coaching and development programs. In wrestling, a “pin” signifies a decisive win, and at Pinning Philosophy Coaching, we believe in applying the same principle of achieving definitive victories in all areas of life. 

At Pinning Philosophy Coaching, we know that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about mindset, resilience, and support. We’re passionate about helping athletes, coaches, parents, and individuals navigate challenges, overcome self-doubt, and achieve their goals. With a deeply personalized approach, we work to bring out the very best in every client.

Matt’s Background

Matt Paeth is no stranger to the demands of high-level competition. With decades of experience as a competitive wrestler and coach, Matt knows what it takes to excel under pressure. He’s competed on some of the toughest stages and coached athletes at every level, from beginners to elite performers. His unique perspective combines the grit of an athlete with the strategic mindset of a coach, allowing him to guide others to success both on and off the playing field.

Transition to Performance and Personal Development Coaching

While Matt’s passion for wrestling remains strong, he recognized that the same principles that drive success in sports—mental toughness, goal setting, and resilience—apply to every area of life. This realization led him to expand his focus to performance and personal development coaching, creating programs designed not just for athletes, but for coaches, parents, and individuals seeking growth and balance in their personal and professional lives.

Family Life

Outside of coaching, Matt is a devoted family man. Alongside his wife Rebecca, a registered nurse and wellness advocate, they are raising two young children while balancing careers rooted in helping others. This firsthand experience with the demands of family life gives Matt a deep understanding of the challenges many of his clients face, allowing him to connect on a personal level.

Introducing Health Coaching

At Pinning Philosophy Coaching, we believe in a holistic approach to personal development. That’s why we’re excited to introduce health coaching services, led by Matt’s wife, Rebecca. As a registered nurse, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in health and wellness. Together, we aim to support you not just in achieving your professional and personal goals but also in maintaining your overall health and well-being.

Our Philosophy

At Pinning Philosophy Coaching, we believe in meeting our clients where they are and tailoring every program to their unique needs. We focus on building confidence, fostering growth, and creating strategies that lead to sustainable success. We’re committed to offering every client dedicated attention, limiting the number of clients Matt works with at a time to ensure quality and focus.

Our goal is simple: to help you overcome obstacles, embrace challenges, and thrive—whether you’re competing on the mat, leading a team, or navigating life’s complexities.
