A Story Every Student Needs to Hear
From Bullied Kid to National Champion
Growing up, Matt was made fun of for being different and riding BMX. In fact, he almost quit BMX altogether after an intense bullying situation at the local BMX track.
However, another BMX rider named Glenn had the courage to stand up for him and include him into his group of friends.
This small heroic act of kindness changed Matt's life forever.
After that day the mean kids stopped picking on Matt. He went on to become a National Champion... Thanks in large part to this one small act of kindness.
Matt Wilhelm's anti-bullying program empowers kids to stand up for others, stand up for themselves, and be everyday heroes.

Matt put on an amazing outdoor assembly for our elementary students. Matt's show is a great mix of amazing bike tricks and relatable, life stories for the students that include never giving up and standing up for your friends. The kids were cheering, laughing, and standing on their feet throughout... Matt's performance. The students had the best time during Matt's show. As the organizer of the event, Matt was quick to respond to inquiries both by phone and email. Matt was patient and flexible with our school as we navigated the logistics of hosting this outdoor assembly. Thank you Matt for a wonderful show!read more

Matt Wilhelm's assembly is the perfect balance of message and entertainment. The students and staff members absolutely loved it! We also received positive feedback from the parents whose kids came home from school and told them all about the awesome assembly they saw.Matt was great to work... with. We were originally scheduled to have him at our school in the spring of 2020, but COVID forced us to cancel. He was great about rescheduling us then and again a couple weeks ago when the weather didn't cooperate. Thankfully, the third time was the charm. Perfect weather. The show was fantastic!read more

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the virtual assembly! The kids loved it. I've gotten very positive feedback from teachers from Kindergarten up to Sixth grade. You have managed to put together a show that kids of all ages, and adults, enjoy. My own kids especially loved your safety... announcement - who knew all those filters could be so useful in getting out an important message! The kids also loved seeing their classmates asking you questions . It's such a great way to individualize your program for each school.read more

If you don't book Matt Wilhelm for your next school assembly, you are missing out! Where do I even begin? From day one, his communication was top notch. He responded immediately to all emails and provided detailed information regarding his show, equipment, dates, price, etc. He was extremely... flexible when it came to accommodating our school of over 1,000 kids. Not only are his tricks captivating, his message really hits home. In today's world, Matt's story really captured the audience and our students connected immediately. His generosity of selecting students out of the audience to participate and distribute signed posters was the icing on the cake. The feedback from our school, staff and members of the community spoke for itself. We loved Matt so much that this was our second time having him return to our school. "Never Give Up" Matt:) Thank you for an AMAZING show and can't wait to see you in the future! The Bulldog community adores you!!!!read more

5-star assembly!!! Matt Wilhelm performed at Mill Creek Elementary in September 2021 and it was an awesome experience! It was the first assembly for the school since COVID started, so it was highly anticipated by both students and teachers. Matt’s assembly did not disappoint! The students were... highly engaged with both Matt’s message and his BMX performance. The teachers were as well and especially loved Matt’s message about kindness, hard work and having a positive growth mindset. Matt’s story is inspiring and very relatable to both kids and adults! Matt does an excellent job balancing entertainment (his super cool BMX tricks!) with his story and message. Matt incorporates great humor and a positive message into his assembly, while also maintaining the attention of 400+ students. I was amazed how quickly they quieted down whenever Matt asked for their attention during the speaking portions of the assembly.Given the restrictions of COVID guidelines in schools, the assembly took place outside and I highly recommend this as a successful option during these challenging times. Both the students and teachers loved being outside for the assembly – fresh air, no gym echoes, no noisy bleachers. Weather can obviously be a concern and our original scheduled date was rained out. Matt was extremely flexible regarding rescheduling. In addition, Matt was extremely professional and easy to work with during the booking process. Matt has great communication skills and replies to phone calls and emails in a timely manner. He even incorporated the school’s motto/theme into his assembly to help solidify the message with students.I highly recommend Matt Wilhelm’s school assembly! I’ve already received feedback from students, parents and teachers that it would be wonderful to have Matt return in future school years!read more

We were truly glued to our screens as he captivated our attention and touched our hearts with such a meaningful message! We thank Matt... Wilhelm for sharing his journey as he creatively weaved a powerful message throughout his presentation about perseverance, being someone's Batman and safety.

We had Matt Wilhelm perform a virtual assembly for us this year. We have had Matt perform live in school previously, so we knew he was talented and shared a positive message, but his virtual performance exceeded our expectations. His tricks and personality engaged our students and his message was... on target, encouraging our students to have a growth mindset and to be kind to each other. I encourage you to invite Matt to your school. We will have him back to our school in the future.read more

Matt recorded a virtual assembly for our school in Feb 21. He and I exchanged several emails throughout the process. He was responsive, courteous, professional, and not pushy. He answered all my questions in a timely manner. He put together a fantastic product, incorporating videos of our... students asking him questions. The video was also unique to our assembly. He didn't use a canned video that he made for all his customers- that part really impressed me. He tricks were captivating and the students AND teachers were mesmerized. It was so great, kids wanted to watch it multiple times (giving parents 45 minutes of quiet each time!). His messaging was also timely and important for kids to hear.Members of our PTA and teachers/principal shared wonderful feedback for his performance and messaging with me. I was thanked a bunch by parents for finding such an exciting assembly. Parents told me their kids loved it and watched it repeatedly; parents also told me they loved the messaging (one parent said, "how special and important his message about finding one’s special thing and just doing it. Very meaningful."The principal told me she received great feedback from the teachers.I would HIGHLY recommend Matt for your next assembly, whether virtual or in-person!read more

I am the Assembly Coordinator for our PTO. With the need for virtual assemblies this year we are so happy to have found Matt's BMX show! Our elementary school is grades K-4 and our students all watched last week! I have heard from many parents saying their child thought it was such a cool video and... really enjoyed it! My son had his older brother watch too! Such a great positive, kindness, and anti-bullying message! I also touched base with our School Administration and they said it had great feedback from the teachers and that it really held the attention of the kids. I watched of course and thought the message was clear and personable. I also think the addition of our schools students gave it such a personal touch in a time where we can't hold assemblies in person. I also liked the addition of Matt's children in the video! Those were such cute segments! My son was laughing so hard during the jumping stuff section! I would highly recommend this program for your school or group!read more

Our students loved Matt Wilhelm’s virtual BMX assembly! Matt customized the show for our kindness week, and it was a wonderful way to kick off the week. Students were thoroughly engaged with the incredible BMX tricks and skills, and all the show had to offer.“My kids are in heaven watching this... amazing assembly!” one of our teachers shared with me during the performance. “Their huge smiles fill my heart!”Additionally, Matt’s thought-provoking messages on kindness, character and perseverance allowed teachers to engage students in meaningful discussion after the show. Beyond this, the show brought a special joy to our students, who have been in remote learning for much of the school year due to COVID. We were so grateful to have the opportunity to bring Matt's positive energy to our students via his virtual assembly.Behind the scenes, Matt was responsive, professional, highly organized, and very kind to work with. He even took the extra time to incorporate pre-recorded questions from select students and our principal, which was a nice, personalized touch. In this season of careful budgeting and remote learning, the virtual format provided a fantastic option to bring a show of this caliber to our students. I give my highest recommendation for Matt Wilhelm’s virtual BMX assembly, with the hopes that you could bring the Matt Wilhelm BMX assembly to your school live!read more

He also was very flexible and worked with my district to find a way to do the assembly that worked for us.Due... to COVID, we did the assembly virtually. As any educator knows, it is very difficult to engage kids virtually but Matt succeeded! Our students were engaged and truly enjoyed the performance. In addition, it was clear through the after assembly survey and conversations with their teachers that they understood and took in the positive character messages being conveyed throughout the performance.Thank you again for a wonderful assembly during a difficult time!read more

Due to COVID our school was 100% remote this year and we booked Matt Wilhelm to do a virtual assembly for us. Not knowing too much of what to expect for a virtual show and how the kids would react we were blown away and I would 100% book this show again. All our students were entertained the... entire 45 minutes. He had a mix of stunts, Q&A and positive message about bullying, perseverance, and teaching kindness. The way he explained bullying and practicing safety was amazing - he really relates well to this age group. We thank Matt for sharing his amazing show with our school!read more

Matt Wilhelm recently did a virtual School Assembly for my children's school district. It was his first virtual assembly, but you would not have known it! It was executed perfectly and kept the laser-focused attention of my 5 and 7 year old, which is not easy to do over a computer screen. His BMX... tricks were too cool for words, but the message of empowerment and resilience is what really moved me as a parent. Matt seamlessly delivered that message through a Q&A series, so it didn't feel like the students were being talked at, but the message was still clear...do your best and put your mind to something and anything is possible! I wish every student could hear his message!read more

I cannot thank him enough for coming out and providing such a great message to our community of students.I was not sure how much my Kindergartener or 2nd grader would have understood and processed what he was saying, but when they were explaining what he said they actually got it!I would definitely recommend this assembly to every child out there.

We were honored to welcome Matt Wilhelm to The Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove on January 6, 2020. Matt's school assembly program was our welcome-back event after winter break, and the students needed something special to capture their attention and imagination after two weeks off of school.... Admittedly, Matt had his work cut out for him, but he more than rose to the occasion! The students were treated to an absolutely fantastic performance: Matt engaged them from the first minute to the last, exciting them with his arsenal of amazing BMX tricks, and enthralling them with stories of his background as a bullied kid. The students cheered in delight watching their classmates participate in tricks, and lost their minds when Matt jumped his bike over two of their teachers! His uplifting messages of trying your best, persevering through practice, and being kind and supportive to others resonated with all our students - from 1st through 8th grades! As a father of two kids at ACS and a member of their Home and School Association, I am so happy that we had Matt at our school. We would recommend him to any other elementary or middle school looking for a fantastic enrichment program! Thanks Matt!read more

Matt's message to both our k-2 and our 3rd-5th grade kiddos supports every SEL goal we have be working on. The show is extremely entertaining while delivering a powerful message of acceptance, tolerance, and standing up for others in our community. Our students were heard saying all day, "that... was the best assembly ever!" More than a couple of our staff shared the same sentiment. One teacher said to me, "I referenced the assembly 10 times throughout the rest of the day. I could tie his message to everything!" Thats Matt for a great show that will certainly impact our students and school for the rest of the year!read more

Matt was professional, engaging and his message was on target. He was easy to work with and reliable. His stunts were impressive and the kids were highly engaged. He delivered his message through a good mix of humor and seriousness and his anti-bullying message was strong. He tailored his message... to meet the age of his audience. He had great "classroom" management skills and had the attention of all students and staff. I would highly recommend Matt's BMX anti-bullying show!read more

Matt Wilhelm performed at our annual First Day of School Assembly for students, staff, and family members. He was a resounding success with his entertaining and engaging act. I appreciated his powerful message on perseverance, hard work, and being a positive leader at school in the face of... bullying. We had an unforeseen issue with our gym space that required Matt to change locations 30 minutes prior to our show, and he did so in a positive and upbeat manner, even helping direct students to seats in an organized fashion. In my 3 years as an administrator, this was the BEST and most meaningful assembly we have had. Thank you Matt for helping Oregon Elementary School start the school year on a positive note!read more

Our school LOVED this assembly! Matt kept the crowd 100% engaged the entire time. Everyone was enthralled with his stunts and tricks, but they were just as entertained by his story telling with his important messages. He talked about never giving up, always trying your best, kindness, bullying.... All his messages came across. He kept the crowd laughing, learning and wanting more. The kids loved it. Teachers and parents that were there thanked me for finding such an amazing assembly. I have planning assemblies for our school for 5 years. I would say this was the best we've had to date. 🙂read more

He also has does a wonderful job promoting a growth... mindset through his childhood stories and BMX experiences. Definitely a worthwhile assembly for all the kids at our school!read more

Matt visited our school for two performances last week. The kids loved the show as he creates a fun atmosphere during the show right from the start with upbeat music, his bike moves, and funny personality. He kept a nice pace to the show with bike stunts and time to share his anti-bullying... message. His message of building others up and knowing the power of your words was shared in a student friendly and interesting way. Matt was professional with every aspect of his visit from arriving early to our school for set-up and being flexible with the spaces we had to work with for the performances. We had two great shows, one outdoor and one inside due to weather. I think I actually liked the indoor show better, but both were fantastic.read more

I have received so MANY positive responses from parents and the staff in just one day. If... you can have Matt come to your school, DO IT! you won' t be disappointed!read more
