I like when the players introduce themselves and give a back story on themselves
Same for me brother, it’s like we know them a lot and always nice to see where they are playing. A lot of diversity and the guy who was playing in Europe in sneakers is really good😂💪⚽️
Yeah
pro trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Roger Cash Yea, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself :D
I’m a simple man Matt post during class, I watch during class
simple! matt is a priority! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!

No reason for him to be crossing up everyone in running shoes lol. Most impressed I've ever been by anyone on Matt's channel including Rubio
Bruh I was thinking the same thing
@@rq7284 bro he played at Ado Den Haag what you expect
At first I was like what is he doing. He forgot his cleats but then I was like well it was to let the other people some chances😂
Watching this instead of doing my school project
Same
I feel you bro
Same
Yo same
Me2, I ha e school work to do😂🔥
What an inspiration, Matt! You have the career most of us dream about and you share your knowledge with all of us young footballers. AND on top of all the training you still manage to post 20+ minute videos 3 times a week. That’s why you’re a real influencer, not like those TikTok “dancers” 😂⚽️💪🧠
haha i have to agree!
@@The1Percent you’re already at 400 🤯
@@The1Percent you replied on almost every comment haha, the self-promotion grind is real 💪🏽
I agree very much
He is the real deal. Who would have said when he quit school when he was junior in college that all that would happened. Many thought he was crazy but today, he actually made the right choice💪🙌
The guy in grey that changed to the blue is a giza🔥🔥🔥🔥
haha yeh i agree! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
He is amazing actually. Imagine in cleats😂💪
These group sessions giving me life during lockdown in UK 😅
Facts 😂
Mums
Yes brother it does. However, it is hard to see them doing quality sessions and us all in lockdown not able to do the same. We need to remain positive as covid is not forever💪⚽️
Word bro 🤣
That guy in the grey hoodie is class
yeh he was class! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!

Yhhh 💯
@@elnicorey2196 exactly it’s so annoying how do they have time to comment the same thing on every comment
@@dylandiallo4799 you gotta get subs one way or the other. I honestly respect the hustle.
The guy wearing running shoes was a baller
At first, I thought he was gonna be bad because he had no cleats, but he definitely proved me wrong💪
9:47 okay that was SICK.
player that, pulled up with no training gear u know he's gonna be cheeky
True
He comes from Spain so Yk he has to have learned something
My family and I will be supporting you and FC Tulsa this year! We are local supporters. Great videos!
Good session. Nice tempo. This has become one of my favorite channels. Its all real. Invaluable insight for all you young lads with a dream.
Johnny Reynolds is a player, can see he's got quality. Shows the levels in Spain and Holland hence Europe. Balling out in trainers too lol... Not just him though there was quality all round. Quality session Matt. Also your crosses are absolute class Matt, so aesthetically pleasing too. Can see the benefits of you constantly working on it during this offseason, take advantage of that next season. Currently injured so thank you for these videos as they're helping me go through my injury.
They all have qualities and a ton of potential💪⚽️
im really interessted where he plays now? i couldn't find anything
Those group sessions look so good😍😍😍
Awesome vlog. Keep helping my Haitian brother please. You the men Matt blessings
Nice you are from Haiti. I speak French, I don’t know if you do or Creole but I love the passion. Would like to go to Haiti one day:)
Wow, this video made me miss training with other people and not just by yourself! Btw, loved those nutmegs in the rondo ;)
Yes! Another long training video, since I just came back from training and did my homeworks its time to watch this
nice one mate, its great to get everything done and then be able to chill watching matt whilst also learning!! That's what i try to do with my audience as well! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Yesser bro, I personally love to watch it before I go train because it motivates me to work even harder to achieve my goals:)
Great advice on not relying too much on your strengths man, I myself do it all the time and i really have to constantly remind myself to work on my weaknesses too.
I have just started really watching your videos and focusing and paying attention to what say and advice you give about going pro and the obstacles that are on the way 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Been a while since I tuned in to a video! Glad to see you’re still grinding
Hey matt thanks I have learnt a lot from keep it coming
Thank you so much Matt! As always inspiring and insightful.
He is awesome. Wasn’t supposed to play pro at first but through hard work, he made it. What a successful story⚽️🙌
yeh i agree mohammad! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Really appreciate these videos Matt. Ive been recovering from a bad injury for the last 3+ months and these give me a massive amount inspiration and motivation.
Always watch these while I do my rehab exercises.
Love how informative they are and it’s really awesome seeing the simple everyday behind the scenes training of high level players.
Mate that is so great to hear! I'm not sure how many people will see your comment but i would like to encourage you to keep up your insane mindset! The people who have mastered their mindset are the ones who will actually make it! Keep it up bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Nice bro, really important that you start slow and progress depending on how you feel with your injury. Respect and take care of your body, you only have one!:)
Q&A: How do you identify between your strengths and weaknesses? How can you tell if there is any improvement?
Good question mate! two things: 1) analyse you performance
2) ask your coaches or your teammates! And then be strong enough to grind and improve that weakness!! hope this helps bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
i would say that if you feel that if you feel confortable with the ball in your feet and it feels natural, than one of your strengths could be dribbling or ball control.
From watching your performances and highlights.
Ask yourself some questions. Is my left foot as good as my right foot? Do I feel like I have mastered the ball or not as confident. E.c.t
You know when you feel the level you are playing is easy. That’s when you know you need more competition and higher level.
It’s very satisfying that the video is 22 minutes and 22 second long
haha i agree! If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Ohhh yes, more minutes of fun, you right bro
Hard work beats talent... We all followed Matt Sheldons channel and saw how much he’s accomplished. Let’s give him more support and see how much he’ll accomplish this year.
#Defense wins games. #BecomeElite #Matt Sheldon. 🔥 🔥 🔥
yeh i love that mentality bro! thats the only way to success! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Johnny (grey hoodie) is a good player. Just like Chase I reckon playing in Europe influences their style because they both play very tidy football!
Tarik Conteh I agree, he's skilful and has flair which you don't see many American players have.
Yeah I guess playing in Spain alone teaches you to improve those attributes because of the style of play!
Tarik Conteh and Netherlands, as they focus a lot on technique there
Tarik Conteh he has good technique, I just feel like he can improve his athleticism. He looks like he can lose a bit of weight and improve his speed, then he can definitely play at a higher level
@@McFlashh he is not is even that big but he is very good and the fact he was at a team in the 1st division of Netherlands shows he is class
Loved the video
Great video⚽👍
3tercera in Spain is actually 4th Tier as the 3rd Step is called 2Segunda "B" Great session bruhh !!!!
oh really? intresting, thanks bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Great bro, you know your football. Do you also play the most beautiful game?⚽️💪
So nice to wake up with a notification from Become Elite saying that a new video is uploaded. Those are the best morning. Who agree?
Same bro I read it and it gives me joy
Great stuff Matt!
yeh i agree! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Matt is great. He always post banger!
Amazing video
yeh i agree! it was sick! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Another banger from Matt like always. What do we expect:)
bro really pulled up in trainers and gave everyone work. Dude is a baller, hope he finds a way playing pro at a high level
great video
yeh i agree!! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Matt can only upload bangers:)
Matt and Anthony combo🔥🔥
Dynamic duo for sure. Imagine Anthony right back and Matt left back.
Watching this right before I go train
great mentality bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I do the same, so I am more motivated to push myself⚽️💪
wow im surprised how much anthony's biggest regret relates to me. I tend to train between 5-6 days a week, couple hours each day and i focus on things like ball mastery, dribbling, tight space stuff, etc., and i dont really pay attention to doing exercise (although i've always been very fit) or being fast (the only times i focus on running is when i am improving my endurance, but i never focus on speed). I think i'm going to start paying attention to those weaknesses more now.
yeh thats the right mindset bro! focusing on improving your weaknesses is literally the key to becoming successful in anything! Good luck bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
A lot of people only focus on their technical aspect of the game but it is also really physical. You need to find the right balance in your workouts, so you are great technically and physically⚽️🙌
can we have a boot collection, i’d love to see the amount of vapor 11s you have
nice idea levi! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
He has a lot for sure. From watching his videos from a long time, I can tell that he has at least 10 pairs.
Quality standard In that rondo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
yeh it was class! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Quality players = Quality rondos. I love the speed of play, so the people in the middle really have to work hard to recover the ball. Rondos are simply the nicest and useful drills for football.
I have a tip for everyone if you don’t wanna play in college and want to be pro as soon as you can stay in school try the play varsity get clips from all your varsity seasons and make a highlight reel to show coaches
great tip bro! If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I constantly wanted to skip this video but overall I’ve learned so much from this video, thank you become elite.
yeh they are so educational!! Also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Don't skip bro, his videos are great and very motivational. He wasn't the most talented guy and look where he is now. Pro player with a great TH-cam channel and clothing brand. He is also a great entrepreneur.
Q&A: Have you thought about what you will do for a career once your playing days are over?
I definitely still see him in the game and a mentor to younger players. He is great in nutrition also, so I wouldn’t be surprised that Matt will become like a manager or owner of his own soccer company. He is even a better person entrepreneur than soccer player. His brand and TH-cam channel are both his main revenue and of course his USL contract but I don’t think it is as much as the other two revenues🙌
Oooo that become elite tracksuit top that Anthony is wearing doeee 👀(@ 14:44) okayyy Matt I see you loool when's that dropping Matt lool
I love it too. I actually want to buy it😍💪
it looks flarey!!! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I love yall relationship ❤️brotherly love
yeh its so nice to see! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I love the dynamic duo. I wish Anthony would have stayed longer. He is already leaving is less than a week now. Canada is in lockdown and it is really snowy. He should definitely stay 2-3 weeks more haha.
Q and A. How do you deal with injuries? I've been getting injured for the past couple of weeks, and it is killing me. It's not those serious injuries like ACL tears; it's the minor groin strains and calf strains. I know you have to rest and build up slowly, but what is your mindset when injured? I tend to get frustrated and annoyed, wishing I can be out on the field to get better. How can I change that? Thanks.
Q&A: what goals do you have for yourself down the line when you can’t play professional soccer. Are you interested in coach at all or opening up a soccer facility? Love the content!
Yeh he has actaully said that he wants to open up a soccer facility! Je also says he wants to push for the Mls but that will only be possible if he has a strong mindset! Also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I definitely see him do what you said bro, It would also be great awesome that we can have vlogs about his coaching life too. The become elite center:)
I bet Matt is only posting daily because Anthony is with him😆
Love the videos Matt your incredible
haha! even if he is, we arent complaining! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Then, I hope Anthony is staying for longer than 1 week😂
Where do players at Upenn get trained at Penn Park? Wanna see them playing.
Q&A Matt what do you wish to accomplish this year and next year
great question bro! setting goals is so important if you want to succeed at anything!! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Have a great USL season on his individual aspect but also make the playoff and go further since last year they were eliminated pretty quick. Continue to grow his TH-cam channel with quality content and spend nice time with Mimi especially and his family. It will be the same until he retires for sure and then he will start new goals and achievement.
The sound of passing , just amazing
Yes it is great to hear the sound of the ball. Man, I miss the game:)
@@CoachXaviPerformance It Is so satisfying!
Would u ever do a training session in Miami. I would love to train with you.
If he goes there, it is more for vacation😂
Q&A. How important do you think it is to also have a lift on the side and enjoy time with family and friends and have that balance
yeh its so important for you r mental health and mindset because you cant obvisouly train 100% all day and you will have lots of time off, so spend it with those you love because in the end, they are the ones that matter! i know its hard to do sometimes, because personally i struggle with it as well! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!

He is for sure a CB or CDM. He is huge and surprisingly great with his feet. Imagine him in actual cleats:)
I am waiting after from football session, to workout!
good idea! make sure to listen to your body! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Yesser bro, make sure to workout at least 5 times a week if you want to play pro and accomplish great things with football. Grind never stops:)
we have ar rool when we are training (rondo) when somone are getting megged, they have to stay in the cirkel as a penalty
Q&A: Matt, what are your thoughts on the best ways to get noticed by college coaches? Like, would you say that playing soccer for your high school team or for your club team year-round will give you a better shot at being scouted?
yeh great question bro! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Make great highlights videos, send many emails to College coaches as it is easy to find their emails on internet. Have good grades to get the biggest scholarship. You don't need to pay for showcases that are so expensive. Just do that and if you have the qualities, you will be recruited right away and receive attention from great places.
I live in the hague funny that he played there
Try the new mercurial vapor 14 , give major vibes of vapor 11
yeh they do seem similar! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Q&A: As a young player, is it better to improve your strengths, or remove your weaknesses. e.g should a player with brilliant passing and very poor shooting, try to focus more on shooting, more on passing or an equal amount on both?
I would suggest analysing you game, figuring out what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are and focus at least 60% of your individual training sessions on improving your weaknesses and the rest on making your strengths into "super strengths". However there is one thing all player can improve and that is their mentality, learning to maximise your confidence, or staying positive. If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
How can you be a good passer and a bad shooter? They are the same mechanics.
It was just an example, plus you could easily be a good short passer, and unable to strike the ball cleanly
Become elite is too good as a right back

We can tell he played in first division of Holland. He is very talented and still has a bright future ahead as he looks young.
QnA : how to deal with season getting cancelled while it is ongoing then it is uncertain when it will resume? Like do you train just maintain fitness or do you try to gain more muscle etc. Also 2nd part is what of you get covid how to get back to fitness? (if possible cna you ask some teammates who experience this)
2:14 xhedan shaqiri in the house lmao
My season got cancelled yesterday because of covid. We were 1-1.
yeh its really tough bro but the main thing to focus on id developing your weaknesses constantly and of course staying positive! if you have no certain return date i would say that you should focus on getting as strong and fit as you can! hope this helps bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
U r an inspiration
yeh i agree! he is class! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
He is the definition of inspiring🔥
Matt Sheldon = Inspiration and motivation
Q & A: As a younger player (12, 13, 14), do you think I should be training by using drills (cone drills, passing drills) or should I be working on going out and just playing in mini games and getting as many touches on the ball as I can. I am asking this because I see that the kids in foreign countries are excelling by getting out in the streets and getting as many touches as they can, improving their decisiveness, and learning as raw as they can.
honeslty bro i would focus on playing as much as you can because when i was your age i did thousands of drills and now have gotabove average technical ability, but do struggle with the deciosn making element of the game! The best way to improve your game, is to play so go for it bro! hope this helps! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Playing and enjoying the game is 100 times more valuable than training at that age
Q&A When doing ball mastery drills should you look down at the ball or away? Or is it a combination of both? I’ve seen a lot of people say you should look up and I’ve seen people say you should look down
Once you are comfortable with the movements you should try to look up to firstly, challenge yourself and secondly help you to improve your awareness! Also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Messi looks at the ball a lot. But he also sees more of the field than most players. He has trained himself to see the ball from the edge of his eyes when looking around and to see the situation around him when looking at the ball. It takes a lot of practice.
Q&A: What have you done throughout your career to achieve a good athletic and strong physique and how have your workouts progressed/changed throughout your career.
good question he will have done plenty of weights, plyometrics, and speed and agility sessions consistently for many years. If you stay consistent you will see massive results bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!

Matt has talked about this a lot. He used to do more heavy lifts and now he spends more time on balance, prehab, and mobility.
He have done many many weights session and fitness. He is a certified nutrition coach because has a great knowledge of what to do to be better physically to improve his results on and off the field. Good question btw bro, I would love to see Matt answers since we are not him and cannot talk for him.
What cold gear did u wore on this video?
Matt
I got a question, what was the hardest part of becoming a pro soccer player in North America without being in a mls or usl academy?
Btw I’m canadien so it would be different.
The prices for academies in the OPDL and OASL are expensive, other than that though they have the faculties the coaching liscenes are most of the time guaranteed.
Hey bro, I am also Canadian and I would say that it is harder because you don’t get as much as quality sessions with experience coaches that knows a lot about the game. Often, it is the coach that can bring you to the next level with the football knowledge that he has. However, you can still make it without being in academies but you need a lot of consistency in your work.
do what alphonso davies did. try to improve your game non stop and find every possible way to be watched by a canadian team . find a way to be one of the best in your team and youll be transferred here to europe
Whats your typical preseason fitness routine other then john terry workout
try to focus on building stamina on and off the pitch using, john terry cardio session, pitch sprints and SAQ fitness drills!

ADO den Haag is a realy good proffesional club
What country is this club playing in and the division?
@@CoachXaviPerformance Firstn division, Holland. Players like Eljero Elia came from there
@@jasper1804 okay thanks brother
Q&A: What was the jump from playing your age group like under 18, 19 or 23’s to playing senior football against different aged players.
its a fairly smooth transistion but you just need to make sure you give yourself time to adapt! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
The game was faster and physically more demanding for sure. It simply gets harder and is not difficult to see and analyze. Great question but also easy to respond:)
football cleats are for weaklings, legendary ballers wear sneakers and boss everyone with fancy cleats XDDD
haha he was a baller to be fair! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Fact bro. Most technical people learn with no shoes in their feet. This guy was dancing in the session😂 💃
@@CoachXaviPerformance he was so smooth with the ball, but from the 3 v 3 i guess he's also those kind of 'lazy' players XDD. not in a bad way cause he's smart enough to get into positions and he always scores
@@cyh5807 yes bro
15:00 for answer
cheers kaito! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Cheers mate, are you a baller yourself?
Matt when does the preseason start?
good question i think it is around march/april that it starts! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I don't really know but MLS starts February 22nd, so it should be beginning of March for USL. Usually they try to have similar schedule.
Bro what’s the weight you’re heading for ? Like you future goals I know you said 174 in the video but are you trying to be like 180 ? Or how much ?
Matt, what do you think is the better path to pro, do you think it’s easier to go straight from academy to first team of a pro club, or it’s better to break off, go to college and then come back
good question Jason! The college route will help you with your education but other than that i think the academy route is a bit smoother!with that being said though, lots of players have progressed through both pathways! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
This mans in Beaverton ? Looks like thprd field
Q&A was it harder for you getting to the pro level, or maintaining the level you are on
he has said it before that it is harder staying as a pro! its all about mentality though! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
I believe that with his journey, it was more difficult to reach out the pro level because he tried abroad in 7 different places and was not kept. He really had to work hard and remain positive because he was denied a lot. However, now he is set in the USL and really earned his spot in the great full back of the league:)
22 minute video for not the video i expected tahnks
17:10 I have the same regret as Anthony. I relied too much on my technical ability. I can spray even 15-yard passes accurately because since the age of 8(now19) I played a lot of 5a side games. but I am slow AF my fitness is poor and I look like a stick
yeh i understand bro! Keep your head up because with the correct mindset you can genuinely transform your body! and you have to remember that football is about the technical side of the game so if you've nailed that then find ways to compensate for your lack of speed and fitness! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
You are still young bro, I am also 19 and you can definitely improve those aspects of your game. Try to do a lot of weights and agility drills and running technique. I know you can make it.
I wish I could get just one session with you
yeah that would be amazing! maybe one day bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Keep working bro and try to contact him if you are close to where he lives. If you have qualities, I am sure that you can train with him. He always looks to have many players at training because you can do more variety of drills with a bigger number.
Q & A:How to show coach that I deserve at least chance to play so I can show what I can? Because I think that he don't pay attention on me when we have training
Most coaches notice effort. If you are giving 100% from the start of practice, your coach will see that. And I don't just mean physical effort. Mental focus is also critical.
train hard and make sure to communicate with the coach if you can! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Burke Fahling - Dejan Kulusevski lookalikes

Q & A: How did you balance you’re realationship with you’re wife/ family and football/soccer?
Great question i hop eh answers that because i think a oot of people struggle with that! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
He’s been pretty good at it since he finds the right balance in a day. He spend time with Mimi when she is there, works hard, and eat and watch series with his parents. Every week, he has at least one day where it is more chilling and enjoying time with the people that he loves the most🙌
as a fullback should i do things such as crossing and defending everyday it train or space them out ?
I would focus on your weakneses for 60% of yoursession and the rest focus on your strengths so if your weakness is crossing then focus on that! Hope that helps bro! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Ummm i have a question, what are the benefits of weighing urself in the morning?
How do you do rondos by yourself or with a partner tho? What do you recommend for small sessions?
Q/A
hi mage, yeh it is hard to perform these kind of drills with less players! I would suggest doing wall passing combinations as well as one v ones to help get that match realism in your sessions! hope this helps gabe! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
Q&A : hi Matt I wanted to ask what advise you would give a 12 year old who is training hard to make it as a pro footballer.
What tips would you give a twelve year old.
Thanks
HI mate, it is important to remember that every player is different and an improvement point that may help one person won't necicerily help another one. I would suggest analysing you game, figuring out what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are and focus at least 60% of your individual training sessions on improving your weaknesses and the rest on making your strengths into "super strengths". However there is one thing all player can improve and that is their mentality, learning to maximise your confidence, or staying positive. If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
@@The1Percent he's asking Matt not u dawg
@@paulmeyers7178 yeha i know but its likely matt won't respond and there is no harm in getting more than one opinion even if he does respond! Just trying to help people out Paul!
@@The1Percent thanks 👊
Will surely check you out
Just have fun brother, don’t put too much pressure on your shoulders as it is only a game at the end of the day. Enjoy life and if you have to make it, you will make it. Work hard and keep grinding but don’t forget that school is really important and can also create more opportunities for you at soccer.
Q:A We see recently that usa is producing much more top quality talents like pulisic, Reyna, mckennie etc. Obviously thats a big step going forward for Soccer in the states . So, in your opinion what 's the most important factor on the improvement of the level of football in usa?
I would say that the increasing of the visibly and level of the MLS has a big impact on the academy players of the MLS academy. They are in better hands than before with staff, facilities and knowledge of the game. There are much more talents in the US today than 4-5 years ago.
QA:how did ball mastery and tight space training helped and improved your game?
it will help with the following:
1)ball control
2) confidence on the ball
3) awareness

You are more confident with the ball in your feet.
Where is Vince and Cobren :(
jr soccer drills
Do y’all know any tips on how to eat less? If been trying to lose weight and tomorrow marks the day where I’ve been consistently working out for a month but I’m not seeing any changes. Am I just being impatient? I’m also not doing to good mentally.... I haven’t gone to a soccer field in months and I sure am missing it :(
It is good to eat less but you also have to combine it with trainings that you sweat a lot. Good start for the eating routine, now just add workouts brother.
Watching this instead of doing my labs
love that commitment bro haha! Also if you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
This is the football lab brother:)
Tercera is fourth division btw. Segunda B is 3rd. just surprised u didn’t know that

Q&A: Have you ever considered trying to move and play in England/UK?
The way it works for most pros outside of the famous pros is that you get given the opportunities so unfortunately you can't really just choose a country and play there professionally, you can only really play where the clubs actually want you! good question though! also If you are interested in developing and improving your mentality, I would be so grateful if you could check us out and see what you think! If not, don't worry, I understand and hope you have a great day!
He tried in the past bro, but Europe is another level. USL is a great fit for him. He can leave his marks in the USL championship and I can maybe see him coming off the bench in one MLS team that is not doing very well.
im from holland and recognize him from ado matches
Awesome brother, was he good?
@@CoachXaviPerformance i didnt watch much of his matched cos i dont support ADO den haag but when i saw highlights of their matches for example he was solid, didnt make any mistakes under pressure, hard but fair tackles. so yeah for ADO terms which is a relegation team in the Eredivisie, he was kinda standing out compared to the rest
@@lucasbouma1062 okay bro, where is he playing now?
@@CoachXaviPerformance idk man, matt introduced him maybe he said it there
