Matt was very dedicated to his craft, always putting baseball ahead of almost everything besides family in his life. He has been that way since before high school. He has spent a lot of this time working out and training by himself and knows how to work hard and the value of that. He believes in the vision that Telly and Mike have shown him with Elite Performance Medical and is ready to get to work with them to help those in his own situation of life after sports.
