Matthew Hebert’s athletic journey began at a young age and developed into him playing baseball at the collegiate level, attending East Texas Baptist University and then Stephen F. Austin University. Here he earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, but found his true calling upon discovering the Starting Strength methodologies in the Fall of 2019. His journey of coaching began in 2020 under the auspices of both Brent Carter SSC and Jordan Burnett SSC. To hone his abilities as a coach, he studied coaching practice and theory with Nick Delgadillo SSC, Darin Deaton SSC, and Josh Wells SSC, with special attention to the squat, the olympic lifts, and injury management and prevention. In the spring of 2021, Matt attended the Starting Strength Seminar and continues to deepen his skill base through the Starting Strength Coach Development Course. This unending process inspires his drive for excellence as he continues to develop his proficiency as a lifter and, especially, as a coach for Starting Strength San Antonio. Matt tested and passed his platform exam for the Starting Strength credential in February 2022, and officially became a Starting Strength credentialed coach after passing the oral board knowledge assessment in March 2022.
1 Review on “Matt Hebert, SSC”
Matt was my introduction to Starting Strength. I showed up for an open house and he showed me how to deadlift. His explanation of the lift was done in a way that was easy for a complete beginner to understand. He also coached me for my intro session and the experience was the same. Matt explained the squat and press in a way that was easy to grasp. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Matt and he is a great coach and great to work with.
