We brought Matt Wilhelm in as an end of trimester treat for our students. He was very entertaining and the kids were super excited when he jumped over some of our brave teachers. Matt also had some great messages to share regarding Anti-bullying, Kindness, and Never Giving Up! Our teachers were happy to receive follow up material to share with their class. Matt Wilhelm has a way of speaking to kids of all ages. We were glad to host him and we will invite him back in the future.read more

Fabulously Entertaining & Effective!I have seen Matt for a few years and his message resonates with the students and the staff! He inspires the kids to be their best and never give up - to strive to create success! He inspires goodness and bravery - that ONE kid who can be someone's hero - and change their day - or their life!He also appeared at my daughter's school - he helped her to "survive" the cruelty that can sometimes fester on the school grounds.Worth the cost and will motivate your entire school!read more

I had Matt come to our Junior High to do an assembly to conclude Red Ribbon Week and Anti-Bullying Month. I have to say that he did not disappoint. The kids and teachers alike loved the show. Even though we had the assembly on Halloween (usually a crazy day in education) the kids sat watched and listened. It was great! We will definitely have him back!read more

Students love Matt's shows because he does a wonderful job of mixing in his personal life experiences to teach them about Growth Mindset and Bullying and how they can apply it to their own lives. Also, his bike tricks are outstanding and perfectly weaved into his messages about failure, perseverance, hard word, thinking positive and being a hero for others. Thanks Matt!!read more

This assembly was the perfect combination of jaw dropping bike tricks and motivational speaking that weaved together Matt's personal story about how he made it to where he is today. The message reinforced the importance of standing up for others, the power of words and finding ways to make people feel valuable, and never giving up. Many assemblies struggle to offer both engaging material and a meaningful message. This was a terrific balance of both for all of our K-6 students.read more

My children came home yesterday excited about Matt’s visit. I’m happy to report as a parent that they received valuable lessons from his assembly. They didn’t place great emphasis on his tricks (even though they thought they were super cool), but more so on what Matt shared with them. It was nice to hear that if you fail to try and try again. They also shared that he was bullied and how Matt was able to overcome this. It was positive for them to see someone that went through something many children do and come out on the better side of things. Two thumbs up!! 👍🏻 👍🏻read more

Mr. Wilhelm is an awesome speaker and performer! He tailored his message to different ages and captivated them from the very beginning. It's so hard to reach older students (6th grade), but he had them completely immersed in his message by the end of his presentation. I was playfully 'attacked' by several students at the end of the school day because they wanted one of his posters! Our teachers gave me a lot of positive feedback and are excited to use the follow-up activities that he shared. Great job!read more

The message, the way Matt kept the kids attention intertwining his story amongst tricks that left mouths open with awe.

Matt held the attention of every kid, and adult alike, while he shared the story about the impact one kid made in his life by standing up and fighting for what was right. It's not always the most popular thing to do, but the right thing to do can be life changing and Matt is living proof of that and couldn't be a better role model for kids. It was a real honor to have Matt Wilhelm come to our school. His bike tricks were inspirational too! Who knew one bike trick could take 8 years to perfect? What a lesson on perseverance!

My fourth grade student writes about what she learned from Matt. "Never Ever Give Up! Today I witnessed Matt Wilhelm and his awesome bike tricks! But his bike tricks weren't the only thing I will remember from the assembly. He also told a story about him being bullied in school. He told us to be like Batman, a hero. It empowered me to not just stand there like a bump on a log when someone is getting bullied. You need to stand up for both yourself and other people. Also, you need to remember that you are unique and you should NEVER EVER GIVE UP! When you know you have a purpose in this huge world, you should practice and embrace what you are good at. That's what I liked about this. Oh, another note, be yourself! And stand out!"Outstanding take-away for all of my students from a person they could relate to and enjoyed his delivery!read more

If you're currently debating whether or not to book Matt Wilhelm for your school, stop thinking and DO IT! His assembly was INCREDIBLE... not just because of his incredible stunts and his ability to relate to our students (grades 3-5), but his message was so powerful! I had to hold back tears thinking about how some of our students really needed to hear this message and he did it in such an impactful way. After the assembly, I had students telling me they were tearing up because either they could relate, or they knew one of their classmates could relate, to his story. I received a note on my desk the next day, stating "We want to talk with you about our classmate XXX. Our classmates always make fun of him and make him cry. Nobody has ever stood up to the people that make fun of him, but after we heard Matt Wilhelm's story we wanted to make a difference and we want to be his friend." This letter speaks volumes to how amazing his presentation is! We will be bringing him back most definitely. Thank you, Matt!!read more

I am a teacher associate for a special needs child and your performance today made him so happy and excited. Not only did he talk about your tricks but he also remembered your words. He went home after school and told his mom all about it and he usually doesn't talk about stuff at school like that. He also won a signed poster which is hanging up in his room now. I also have 3 daughters who also got to see the performance. One at middle school level and 2 at elementary level. They were all excited and talked about all the different things that were said and done. It was an awesome performance that kept the kids and teachers entertained. Amazing job Matt Wilhelm and I hope you continue your journey spreading this great message.read more
