Matt Poland is a soccer creator and athlete with a strong on-field identity and a clear fit for brands looking to reach active, sport-driven audiences. His content mixes football storytelling with a lifestyle angle that naturally aligns with travel, fashion, food, and performance-focused campaigns.
Matt is a leader, a team captain and a driven individual. Matt currently trains in Chicago at the Bridges FC training. (Bridges is a professional training environment for 200-250 players from Division 1 colleges, the USL, MLS, NWSL and International players.) He is one of the most welcoming guys and is always building relationships with everyone there, whether new or old. Nearly everyone knows who Matt is. Some of the younger guys look up to him so much that they regularly get style advice from him and want to emulate what he does as a professional.

How do you measure influencer marketing ROI when half the numbers social media gives you are vanity metrics? It is the question brands ask us most, and it came up again when I joined Massimo Marinelli on the Berkida Ventures Podcast.
