A Story Every Student Needs to Hear
From Bullied Kid to National Champion
When Matt was a kid he was made fun of for being different and riding BMX. In fact, he almost quit BMX altogether after an intense bullying situation at the local BMX track left him fearing for his safety.
Determined to make his dream come true, Matt didn’t give up and qualified for the largest BMX competition in the world, The X Games. However, disappointment struck hard as Matt finished in last place.
Using the “Never Give Up” attitude he learned as a kid, Matt worked harder than ever, eventually becoming the national champion. He will show your kids that sometimes our biggest failures can turn into our greatest victories.
Matt will empower your kids to turn their biggest challenges into their greatest victories.

Matt Wilhem’s virtual BMX stunt show was an exciting addition to Red Ribbon Week at our school and appealed to boys, girls, parents, and faculty! Matt has created a truly unique show with a variety of elements that keep viewers engaged and talking about the show for days. Matt covers a variety of... topics from safety, bullying, nutrition, drugs, persistence, and resilience. All of these positive messages are woven in between segments of Matt performing some truly astounding tricks from multiple camera angles. The glow biking finale had everyone oohing and aahing. Matt was easy to work with and very responsive. I highly recommend Matt’s show for anyone looking to reinforce core values while also providing a gem of entertainment.read more

With Covid restrictions, Matt Wilhelm was still able to put together an incredible virtual assembly that supported our school PBIS character traits while making it engaging for students to watch (prek-grade 4 elementary school). Matt made the process in organizing the event seamless and even... embedded video clips of students into the virtual assembly. I would highly recommend this virtual assembly if you are looking for a creative way to reach out to your school community during these difficult times! I am grateful for Matt in providing this type of experience for our students!read more

Due to COVID our school was 100% remote this year and we booked Matt Wilhelm to do a virtual assembly for us. Not knowing too much of what to expect for a virtual show and how the kids would react we were blown away and I would 100% book this show again. All our students were entertained the... entire 45 minutes. He had a mix of stunts, Q&A and positive message about bullying, perseverance, and teaching kindness. The way he explained bullying and practicing safety was amazing - he really relates well to this age group. We thank Matt for sharing his amazing show with our school!read more

Matt came to our school several years ago. We were so impressed that we invited him back. This time, though, the show was done virtually due to COVID restrictions. As with our previous experience, Matt was amazingly professional. He was flexible, a great communicator, and accommodated our every... wish. The assembly was well organized, entertaining, and personalized to address our school's focus. Matt involved our students and presented a meaningful message in a memorable way. He was well versed in all aspects of the technology, and his creative transition videos brought lots of laughs. The virtual assembly was a huge hit! Our students and staff loved it!-- Jackie Michlig, School Counselor, Edgewood School, Greenfield, WIread more

Matt Wilhelm recently did a virtual School Assembly for my children's school district. It was his first virtual assembly, but you would not have known it! It was executed perfectly and kept the laser-focused attention of my 5 and 7 year old, which is not easy to do over a computer screen. His BMX... tricks were too cool for words, but the message of empowerment and resilience is what really moved me as a parent. Matt seamlessly delivered that message through a Q&A series, so it didn't feel like the students were being talked at, but the message was still clear...do your best and put your mind to something and anything is possible! I wish every student could hear his message!read more

We approached Matt during the COVID-19 pandemic to ask if he would consider a year-end district-wide virtual assembly to try to lift students' spirits. He agreed and we brainstormed about shifting the message to resilience and perseverance combined with student Q&A - not to mention a fantastic... stunt show! The virtual event was accessible for all students, parents & educators to view on YouTube and Matt did an AMAZING job and the feedback has been outstanding. We want to thank Matt for adapting to unprecedented circumstances and ending our school year on such an exhilarating and positive note!read more

Bullying is such an enormous problem in schools today and it starts in Elementary school. Matt does a fantastic job sharing his experiences and being able to show children that they can and will rise above. Matt's program shows the importance of friendship and not being a bystander or a bully. ... With the addition of sharing his talent of BMX it grabs children's attention and makes the program all the more special.Steve Jepsen5th grade teacherread more

Matt presented to our 6th-8th grade students. Based on my observations during and conversations with students afterwards it was obvious that they connected well with the message and could articulate the important topics that Matt covered. Obviously Matt's abilities are eye-catching for students,... but his ability to tell a story that MS students can relate to is what made the presentation so worthwhile!read more

Matt was at my sons school today. He did three different shows and it was really cool to watch him change it up for the k-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and middle schoolers. He made the show relatable to all of them which was super cool! He even posed with some of our kiddos afterwards and signed... autographs! I think the tricks are super cool to show the kids but the stories of him being bullied as a child, and the perseverance he needed to get where he is today is just so motivating for the kids! My son loved it!!read more

Matt performed his show at Northview School in Peru, IL! Other than his extreme talents on a bike, he also had great stories that my PreK-4th grade students could relate to. His message of teasing/bullying and standing up for your friends can hit home for so many of our students. He also talked... about never giving up on your dream and trying your hardest. As an elementary school principal, I have seen Matt perform about 3-4 times for our students in the past 15 years. You can't go wrong. Awesome assembly!read more

There has been so much positive feedback about his assembly by both staff and students. Parents have been posting on our Facebook page, that their students are coming home and talking about how great it was.From contacting him to set up this assembly, to setting up everything, to connecting to our... students, it has just been nothing short of amazing. I cannot thank him enough for coming out and providing such a great message to our community of students.I was not sure how much my Kindergartener or 2nd grader would have understood and processed what he was saying, but when they were explaining what he said they actually got it!I would definitely recommend this assembly to every child out there. We had Pre- K to 8th grade students attend and each student got something out of it. This is the BEST assembly that I have seen yet. Don’t miss out on the chance for your students to learn about Matt’s powerful messages!read more

We were honored to welcome Matt Wilhelm to The Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove on January 6, 2020. Matt's school assembly program was our welcome-back event after winter break, and the students needed something special to capture their attention and imagination after two weeks off of school.... Admittedly, Matt had his work cut out for him, but he more than rose to the occasion! The students were treated to an absolutely fantastic performance: Matt engaged them from the first minute to the last, exciting them with his arsenal of amazing BMX tricks, and enthralling them with stories of his background as a bullied kid. The students cheered in delight watching their classmates participate in tricks, and lost their minds when Matt jumped his bike over two of their teachers! His uplifting messages of trying your best, persevering through practice, and being kind and supportive to others resonated with all our students - from 1st through 8th grades! As a father of two kids at ACS and a member of their Home and School Association, I am so happy that we had Matt at our school. We would recommend him to any other elementary or middle school looking for a fantastic enrichment program! Thanks Matt!read more

Matt is an infectious performer, entertainer, and presenter. His message about persevering, standing up for others, and being kind was well received and remembered by the students. These messages were woven throughout his presentation of his amazing bike tricks/skills which kept the students... engaged throughout the presentation.This is the 2nd time we've have Matt visit our school and both times, he was professional and had "teacher" tricks to keep the students on task. :) When this student body moves to middle school, we hope to have him back once again to share his talent and his message.read more

Through the PTA, I’ve had the pleasure of booking assemblies for our school for the last six years. Matt is by far the most engaging presenter we’ve had. Regardless of whether the students liked or even knew of the BMX sport, they are fully enthralled and engaged from the beginning all the way... through the end of his presentation. He has excellent public speaking skills and high level classroom management. He manages to leave his audience satisfied yet wanting more. What every educator must understand about Matt’s presentation is this is not about the sport of BMX. Matt uses his athleticism and talents in this sport as his primary vehicle to convey an anti bullying message with additional positive messages and life lessons such as “never give up” in a highly engaging manner. It was an absolute pleasure having Matt at our school. Well worth the cost of the assembly!!read more
