Acceleration Iowa Athlete Matt Miller signed with Missouri State University last week and we could not be happier for him! Matt sent this picture with a note saying, “Reggie, I just wanted to thank you for all that you have helped me with through the years, you have been a big part of getting me to this point so thank you so much.” Pictured above in the Middle is Matt with his brother Dan on the right and Waukee Director Reggie Hoegh on the left. Matt has been through the program since he was an 8th grader and has really come a long ways through hard work and dedication. Nothing is more satisfying for us at Acceleration Iowa than when we see an athletes hard work pay off. It comes at no surprise to us that Matt has come this far because he does things the right way and doesn’t take short cuts. We look forward to following Matt and the Missouri State Bears in the future!
