Why Matthew Anderson ranks #31 in Volleyball

Matthew Anderson ranks 31st among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 2542nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 88, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2010–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, world cup titles 1, world league titles 2, world cup mvp awards 1.

Immediately ahead sits William Arjona on 88.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Magaly Carvajal on 88.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
