Matt Greenhalgh returned home to App State as Director of Athletic Performance to oversee the football program's strength and conditioning in December 2022.
  
Greenhalgh (pronounced GREEN-hall) was Assistant Director of Football Strength and Conditioning at Virginia Tech during the 2022 season after being Georgia Southern's Director of Football Strength and Conditioning from 2018-21.
 
That role as director came after he served as App State's Assistant Director of Strength and Conditioning from 2014-17, when the Mountaineers posted a record of 37-14 with two Sun Belt Conference championships and a 3-0 bowl record.
  
Georgia Southern made an eight-win improvement to go 10-3 during Greenhalgh's first season in Statesboro. The Eagles had winning records in each of the next two seasons, going 8-5 in 2020, and a coaching transition coincided with Greenhalgh relocating to Virginia Tech to work alongside first-year head coach Brent Pry in 2022.
 
Prior to his first stint in Boone, Greenhalgh was a strength and conditioning graduate assistant at The Citadel from 2013-14. A native of Chepachet, Rhode Island, he also worked as a strength and conditioning intern at Rhode Island, his alma mater, and South Carolina.
 
A four-year letterwinner on the offensive line for Rhode Island from 2008-12, Greenhalgh graduated with a degree in kinesiology. He served as a team captain during his senior season after earning a spot on the Allstate Good Works Team as a junior in 2011.

Greenhalgh holds a master’s degree in sports management from Western Carolina. He and his wife, Emily, have two children: Mack and Beau.
