Matt Turbull is an elite athlete coordinator. Matt has put together some amazing fields, on challenging budgets. Athletes work with Matt because he has built trust with them. It takes more than money to get top athletes to fly around the world, although that sure helps. As Matt is managing the elite field at the LAM on Sunday, we thought you might like to see this interview.

Matthew is one of the most respected Elite Athlete Coordinators in the biz. He has done consulting for Competitor Group, Global Athletics & Marketing and began his journey in elite athlete relationships at the Great Run Company, the finest race management company in the UK.

Here is a quick interview I did with Matthew, asking him to self grade himself on the 2017 Skechers Performance LA Marathon.
