Matthew Rose – Director of Operations / Head Multisport Coach
Matthew is DMS’ Director of Operations and is involved with all of DMS on-going activities. Several years after a successful collegiate swimming and coaching career, he turned to mutlisport as another competitive outlet. Matthew has directly lived the juggling act non-professional athletes engage in to responsibly balance family, work, social and training commitments. Leveraging the endurance coaching knowledge he gained as an athlete and coach, Matthew develops training programs based on the simple premise of maximizing returns on training time investment.

Prior to his entry into the world of swimming, cycling, running and management consulting, Matthew served as an assistant swimming coach at Stanford University (women’s program) and later at Arizona State University (men and women’s programs) working primarily with distance athletes while pursuing his graduates studies. At both locations he worked with numerous Olympians, world record-holders and NCAA champions. He was on staff for Stanford’s last NCAA championship team in 1999.
Matthew completed his collegiate swimming career at the University of Notre Dame where he served as Team Captain and was elected Most Valuable Performer.
