Send us a text

Have you ever taken a stroll down memory lane and found yourself embroiled in the heartwarming tales of a small-town hero? That's exactly what happened when I sat down with coach Matt Altomare, the pulse of Leetonia High School football, whose story is as deeply woven into the fabric of Leetonia, Ohio, as the gridiron itself. Our conversation traverses the cherished corridors of community bonds, Italian heritage, and the legacy of following in his father's coaching footsteps, a poignant reflection that's sure to resonate with anyone who holds their hometown close to their heart.

It's a gripping tale of destiny and determination as we unearth the serendipitous paths our careers have taken. You'll be privy to the twists of fate that saw me sidestep from a 2.0 GPA college graduate to a stand-up comedian, and Matt's journey from the field to the sidelines, molding young athletes with the same vigor his father did. We swap stories of Fiddys legendary networking skills, a testament to the power of connections that bind us, whether in comedy clubs or coaching huddles.

As we wrap up, you'll feel the grit and passion of high school football coaching coursing through your veins. Matt opens up about the ebb and flow of his career, the hiatus he took for his family, and the drive that led him back to the game. The candid tales of navigating through a losing streak and aiming for a triumphant return to Leetonia's glory days will leave you cheering from the sidelines. So if you've ever wondered about the life lessons sports impart or simply enjoy a good chronicle of redemption and revival, this episode is a score for your listening playlist. Share it with friends, family, and the guy next door – because stories like these are the touchdowns of the human spirit.
