Game Changers: Incredible Stories of Resilience in Sports

Notre Dame High School Basketball Coach Matt Sargeant - Episode 23

Linda Martindale Season 1 Episode 23

Matt Sargeant grew up with Coach John Wooden's Pyramid of Success in the forefront of his mind - his youth coach introduced it to him at a very young age.  There was nothing that Matt loved more than basketball and after a very successful high school career at Ocean View High School in California, he played at Princeton University.  Like many athletes, Matt's journey was full of injuries, setbacks, comebacks and a strong desire to succeed no matter what the cost.  

Not surprisingly, Matt Sargeant is now a successful high school basketball coach at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California playing in the very competitive Mission League.  Coach Sargeant has had a lot of success developing high school players into college-ready athletes and more than 20 of his players have gone on to play basketball in college.  He is also coming off a tremendous season with a win record of 31 and 4 winning the CIF Southern Section Division 1 championship. 

Listen in as he tells his incredible story and what led him to become the coach he is today.
