Celebrated International Sportsperson and Coach Matt Henderson brings High Performance Training to Life.
Making History
Since boyhood, Matt Henderson has pushed himself to be the outright best.
It wasn’t enough for him to represent New Zealand in cricket, mostly via the indoor game, for 17 years. He also consistently hit the highest international rankings.
Matt is the only indoor cricket player in the history of the game to be named in the ‘world’s best’ team three times, and to win a world cup most valuable player award as well.
Matt’s attitude to coaching is the same; he’s obsessed with being the best kind of coach.
Having trained his first professional team at age 25, he went on to win head coach roles for national indoor cricket teams in England and United Arab Emirates. Matt’s deep knowledge, skills and his genuine concern for the people in those teams ensured they were phenomenally successful under his watch.
He continues to train some of New Zealand’s most outstanding cricket players.
SINCE LAUNCHING FIT CLUB IN TAURANGA, MATT BRINGS THE SAME PRINCIPLES FROM HIS INTERNATIONAL TEAMS: ELITE COACHING, CONNECTION, AND TEAMWORK.

"I share what I’ve learned about managing stress and pressure like an athlete — how to face it, recover, and do it all again. Stress is inevitable, but with the right approach, it can become a powerful resource."
