In one of his interviews, Matt shared his typical workout routine. He said, “The workout routine I have was designed by the USAVolleyball strength trainer, it is a series of loading and unloading exercises such as front and back squats with lounges, box jumps among other exercises to help build strength for landing. For upper body strength I do slot of shoulder exercises, internal and external rotations with bands and exercises for flexibility that can help with the volume of swings I get in training and matches.”
For his diet, he elaborated, “My diet for game day is pretty simple. For lunch before I try to get in a big meal consisting of a plate of vegetables or salad, a pasta or risotto, then about 2-3 chicken breasts and then some fruit. During matches I’ll keep some power bars or cliff bars handy if I feel a little drained. I’m also drinking a lot of water and Gatorade. After the match is it usually some type of protein shake immediately after in the locker room. For the meal after the match it is similar to the pre game meal, just instead of chicken it will be a red meat.”
