Matan Coaches the Next Generation
My story
I’m Matan Cohen, a sports and education entrepreneur. I teach kids how to build resilience through movement. This loan will help me grow into a community space that supports youth through challenges and empowers them.
Micro lending, Macro Impact
Since the war began, kids need safe and supportive spaces more than ever. This loan will fund equipment, outreach and a youth clinic that is the first step toward my three year vision of a thriving community center for growth and healing.
My business - My spark
Since 2015, I’ve taught kids life skills through basketball and group programs. I created workshops and trained coaches across Israel. I believe movement can change lives from the inside out.
A few more words
I’m 30, a former basketball player, and a sport and performance psychologist. I live and breathe youth empowerment through physical and emotional growth. Thank you for helping me give the next generation tools to face life strong and proud.
