"...doing what they love-how do I find a way to do that?"

In his fourth season at the helm of the Grand Canyon University Men's volleyball program, Matt Werle's Antelopes are "under construction" from the inside out.

With 3/4 of his team underclassmen, Werle is in the midst of reshaping and redefining both the personnel and culture of his program. He continues to adapt as a coach and a leader of young men while preparing and scheming for the best men's collegiate volleyball teams in the country every week. It's a daunting task but one he is geared up for.


Werle is an AVCA 30 before 30 winner, a National Champion as a college player and has earned respect and accolades throughout the men's volleyball spectrum by leading his team to 17+ wins in each of his first three seasons.

In this candid interview, Werle talks about his upbringing, his collegiate success and his unique 18 months where he was coaching the GCU men, Junior College women and both a boy's and girl's club team!

He also talks about his culture, his move from the MIVA conference to the MPSF where he battles Long Beach State, BYU, UCLA, USC and others on an nightly basis.
