Victoria Diaz, SSC
Head Coach
Victoria Diaz, a Starting Strength Coach since 2017, began her professional career pursuing fitness in New York. Here, she earned a diploma from a state licensed vocational school in the Personal Training Master Course in March 2015 and began working at a high end fitness boutique, coaching a multiform clientele base. While so employed, she became a student of the Starting Strength model and its methodologies. To augment her practices as a coach, she is a Licensed Massage Therapist. She enjoys the thrills of competing in strength lifting; but even more, she loves to watch her athletes reap the thrill of achieving new personal records after months of hard work. Coach Diaz left New York to become the Head Coach at Starting Strength, San Antonio.
Matt Hebert
Strength Coach
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.
