Starting today, we want to serve like Matt!
The American hottie and one of USA Volleyball’s most precious talents shares a valuable tip to score more points from the service line.
Per Matt Anderson:
I try to clear my mind before I go back to serve.
The previous point might have been very emotional, and I feel like I want to clear it all from my head before I start the next point. I usually take one or two deep breaths to calm my nerves and calm my heart and really get focused on what I need to do to get a good serve. Once I’m back behind the service line, I talk to myself.
The first thing I’ll say is, ‘Good toss.’ I think a consistent, good toss is the most important part of serving. It allows you to have range and it allows you to go through the arm swing process consistently.
So once I’ve taken a couple of breaths, I’ll say, ‘Good toss, fast feet, get up, fast arm.’ That gives me a picture in my head of what I want to do.
Thank you Mattie!
