Matt Prosser: ”Coming Full Circle” From Playing to Coaching to Broadcasting and Cancer
Manage episode 393329032 series 2361972
Matt Prosser is one of the most well-rounded talents in the sport of volleyball. An All-American at Long Beach State, Prosser took his size to the beach, where he won an AVP with Matt Olson and enjoyed immense success with John Mayer. In 2018, despite having been only a year out from chemotherapy, Prosser qualified for the Manhattan Beach Open with Eric Beranek, retiring afterwards on his own terms. Now, he’s a voice you’ll recognize on AVP and Volleyball TV broadcasts as a commentator for the Italian SuperLega, Beach Pro Tour, and numerous AVP tournaments. We chatted about all of that, as well as:
- How Prosser got hooked on volleyball at the age of 13
- What it was like in 2010 when the AVP folded – one week after Prosser made a final in Hermosa Beach
- How he was able to overcome cancer and make another main draw
- How a chance encounter with Dustin Watten led to Prosser’s favorite career yet: Commentating on beach volleyball
And, per usual, a whole lot more.
SHOOTS!
