Coach Matt played NCAA Div. I volleyball at Long Beach State University, under former U.S. Olympic coach Alan Knipe. Then Matt played a couple of seasons at Western, where he was a two-year starter and won a national silver medal. As a libero, Matt specializes in service reception, defense and mental toughness, but his knowledge and passion for the game are all encompassing. This past summer, he coached with the Canadian beach national team, training athletes in preparation for L.A. 2028.
