Matt, please dont change the vids into those gimmicky "how to" vids, this is he only channel i see the hard work and raw footage of training behind the scenes of a football player and I appreciate every one you do 👍
The Deku Tree so true
True
Those "gimmicky" how to video are cool though. Unisport for example make fantastic videos
I know its hard to see your channel not looking like other big channels. But just know that what you do for the people that watch your channel is what matters. The fact that they benefit off of what you do for them is the goal. Thats your achievement; helping those in need and giving them the information they need. So with all that said, thank you for everything you've done for us. Thank you
I don’t think this videos or what you’re doing is boring. I love when you have a perfect connection with the ball simple passing, crossing, shooting, etc,.
The simple stuff is the best
Same, I think he has some of the cleanest passes
Matt, even if you aren’t getting the recognition you deserve. Your vids are legit man. Better than any “3 ways to dribble like Sergio Ramos”
Lucas Moon more like how to end another players career like Sergio Ramos
I actually love how supportive mimi is. You are really lucky matt to have a girlfriend who will come out and film all your progress! Props to you girl!
The audience you have for the off season series are your most loyal fan base ...WE are following your progress since your early days and u should not b disheartened by the views because click bait channels have views but not a loyal fan base and genuine well wishers like u have ...
Keep up the good works . Keep smiling ,Keep improving .
LOVE
You know why i likes your channel because you are real. You showed every side of pro. So everyone that keep watching your video mean we work hard to get the pro’s contract. Not just some entertainment videos but doesnt help us grow as a player
ur so blessed to be around people who share your motivation for football them training sessions seem LIT
Bro. I support you all the way. No matter if your channel doesn't grow. You still putting in work. I use your videos in part of my training. Big inspiration for me. Keep on going don't stop. (Cheers from El Paso, TX)
The second half of this video is straight fire. Awesome sesh
This is my favourite/the best football/soccer series on TH-cam! The drills you do are simple, yet so effective for all footballers/soccer players! These simple drills are the rock behind all soccer success! Keep up the great work!
I am sure that seeing one of your subscribers become a succesful soccer players due to the motivation and content you share is far more valuable than getting mainstream attention
Stop man don’t get the thoughts of stopping TH-cam haha I know you were kinda sarcastic but everyone here seriously loves your content man !!! Really helpful
Man you guys are so nice to each other, even giving massages if someone is hurt :D
Matt I really appreciate what you're doing,you are one of my favorite youtubers,there is not many people like you that try as much as possible to help as achieve our dream of becoming a pro.Lots of love from Serbia and keep up the good work!
Ooooo the start of the Become Elite Academy 👀👀👀. Great video! You can really see the quality of the players you train with in the 5v2 rondos. Keep up the good work!
Hey Matt. Been following you for 6 months or so now. Not for me (new soccer fan here) but for my 5-year old has begun to love playing soccer over the last year. Thanks so much for sharing your life and training and the dedication you have for sharing your knowledge. Many of your dribbling drills and competition-based drills are some of his favorites and I appreciate the ideas, and getting to you and your soccer journey through the channel. Keep up the grind. Best of luck to you, bro.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD 😎😎
what were you doing at the start Lmfao 😂😂
Edit: I agree I love TH-camrs like you who puts in so much effort to show us what life is really like as a pro. People like you deserve more subscribers than others. I actually think these videos are more entertaining than those other videos like '5 amazing ways to take free kicks' because I really learn from them (your videos). Thanks for doing these vids!!
My 8 year old (TYSA Triumph U9 Academy) and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. We want you to come play for Atlanta United so we can see you play live. He has a dream of being a Pro Soccer player and your videos have been awesome as a training guide for him and a window into what it really takes. They also inspire us both!
You are a great example and role model for him and I truly appreciate everything you do. Keep making it happen, keep at it like you do Soccer, it'll happen. I've been telling the Dads in our club all about you and your channel as well. Just be YOU, because YOU rock Matt!!!!
Background: My son Cole, his teammates Israel and Sam have been playing together since their Spring season of U6 Rec, with Sam's Dad as Head Coach and Israel's Dad as Assistant ( and me as Assistant Assistant LOL). We've also added a few others teammates along the way, with two still with us, but those guys are the original "Fire Eagles". In Rec they dominated through U8 with multiple undefeated season and each going to All Stars every season. The Fire Eagles were feared and often beat Academy Teams. We have a very special group of players and parents in our club. We are so fortunate.
Over the past year, Cole has grown more than the other boys in terms of widening and putting on weight. He is strong and skilled, but has lost some speed and coordination in the process. With the switch to Academy, It's been hard for Cole to suddenly not be as dominate as he was in the past. It's been difficult for him having to play on the Green Team instead of starting on the Gold with his buddies. I know it bothers him but, he keeps a great attitude and a smile on his face. He wants to win this challenge as bad as he wants to win games. Your videos and your story is keeping him going towards his goals and loving the game Matt.
Your dedication is an inspiration to him, your training and skills advice is helping him get better at the game, and in better shape while his body catches up to his skill level. We have a playlist called "Soccer" and Become Elite is a big part of his video studies of the game. He looks forward to your videos everyday, and doesn't care whether it's your best or your worst video ever. Just that you are there and that you guys are doing it together. So just remember all this on these kind of days.
You're reaching the right people, and they'll tell the right people, and the numbers will come because what you are doing is right and is helping many people already. Cole and I think you are awesome, we are big fans, and we are pulling for you everyday. We know you're going to make it and we hope to meet you one day, shake your hand, and say thanks in person.
Much Love and God Bless!
Cole and Kevin
The 🐐with a new upload 😭🙌🏼
Matt, you inspired me massively and seeing the behind-the-scenes and the truth of pro footballesr is incredible. Now I am playing state soccer.
That's not boring at all it's always good to watch your videos and we appreciate the effort you are doing. Honestly I have been following you since a long time now and I have noticed the evolution. Also you have been a big source for my motivation and I have learned a lot of things from you. Thank you for everything
Matt you should train with Spencer Moeller it would be cool to see you guys do a training session together
Miguel Franco Yep, we’ve talked before and we want to, but it’s hard when he’s thousands of miles away haha
Spencer is back in USA
Tyrado 181 I know and he’s still thousands of miles away. The US is a big place haha.
@@tanaythatte2008 Spencer is in Florida on the East coast, Matt is in California on the west coast
Really enjoying these sessions.. Old guys FTW! 😀
Same!
We really like your videos. I am past age and not looking to play soccer (professionally) but is very interesting to see what you go through, the struggles, the dedication and posivitism when you are not the most "talented" person. You represent all of us who struggle day to day to get better at whatever we do.
Hey matt, i have watched all your videos. Your videos have given me hope when i was injured and i am gonna make it professionally and your videos have helped me improve a lot . Please continue making these videos.
I love the content here Matt. You will get the recognition later on, but this is raw and original. Don’t worry about those other videos that just get clicks, you have a real fan base here. Keep up the hard work! 🤙🏼
You are my favorite soccer youtuber!! Please never stop!!
My first comment didn’t upload but I wanted you to know that you help a lot of people in a really big way despite what it may seem like on the surface. I speak for many when I say your channel has shaped me as a soccer player
I love these videos! There is literally nothing else like this on TH-cam. You inspire me to train and workout everyday. Keep it up, bro!!
Honestly, loved this video. My bag is minimal at best as well, but I agree with the sentiment that less can be more. I wish you all the best
Bro honestly you're videos are amazing.. you are inspiring.. keep up the good work.
Love the offseason series Matt. I'm watching it with my 9 year old academy player and we are hooked. Huge thanks to you and your amazingly helpful girlfriend (NB: the stores were out of those when I was your age!) for the effort that you guys put into this. Power to you both from NYC where we are having our first snowfall of the season today.
Keep going man, your videos are realistic. People will always criticize you no matter what you do so just ignore them and do your thing. Resilience!
I really appreciate the time you put on these videos Matt! I get so motivated watching your videos.
Matt don’t worry about the views and subscribers you are the best TH-camr I know who gives an insight to everything I’ve always wanted to know. Thank you Matt thank you
I love these videos because it shows what a pros life is really like. To me it seems very fun as well.
You have a South African watching so that must mean the channel is lit and really helps me alot so thanks alot😊
Great video as always, I hope you get that contract man, you deserve it!!!!
Matt we love these videos so much. I know for sure that if I had a say in things, you’d have the most subscribers out of any football/soccer youtubers out there!
Starting my day with some coffee and your vlog. Keep it going man!
Love your videos man, I have improve so much and know I’m getting into the first team just need to work more! Thank you 💙
Matt love your videos..
It's one of the very few channels that actually benefit football players..
Learned a lot from all your videos..
Appreciate all the efforts and continue posting those awesome video's!!
All the best,
Nikhil.
I actually recommended your videos above other big channels to my son as he's progressing with his club.
I’ve been going out and training everyday like I used to. 2 years ago ire offseason dearies really inspired me and I have been really successful thank you
This video really does show what he always talks about these basic drills that I do playing u19 club are the same ones the pros are doing they just a lot more consistent
Love how he score a well placed shot while crossing
25:01 reminded me of that play where pique gets nutmegged but is able to recover the ball at the end 👍💯
We love you matt 🔥🔥
Your video keeps me motivated always
Those that dont see these videos miss out on the opportunity to better themselves consistently. Not to take anything away from other videos but the content you put out makes this a one of a kind channel. You got channels like
SimplySoccer
OnlineSoccerAcademy
FourFourTwo
ProgressiveSoccer
CoachJavi
But you go a step ahead by going over everything you do. Not many channels do that.
This is great quality of video for trainings we want keep doing this
Great video good to see you training with other good players. Love it keep it up!
Balancing school, club soccer, and work is hard. And my parents aren’t very supportive, however nothing comes easy and it’ll all be worth it one day
Your videos are amazing honestly and inspiration😀👍
You're great matt...... Keep going....
I love these videos they are so motivational to me keep it going
Great video bro! I love how you have so many people to train with; I only have myself and one friend :(
El paso tx usl new soccer team el paso locomotive fc having open tryouts maybe u interest ;)
Don't compare to anyone else Matt, you have the best videos on TH-cam don't doubt it
Bro please tell me you are not quitting youtube, Love this type of content it motivates me to keep training. Appreciate your work
This series is awesome!
Can’t wait to see you play in the mls
Thanks for this video, your video always motivate me, you are like my big brother.
Hi Matt,
How did you manage to get a 3.74 GPA and train by yourself extra, and go to team trainings in High school. Did you take many AP courses? How did you balance school while doing everything necessary for soccer?
Audacious Soccer Hey! I know I’m not Matt but I just graduated high school with a 4.37 GPA and Matt’s helped me a lot through the Elite Challenge. When it comes down to it, it’s just all about getting work done and not procrastinating. Never waste a second of your time. For me, I didn’t have social media throughout high school cuz I believed it distracted me from my own work. Not only that, but every lunch, I was in a classroom asking questions or finishing homework so after school I could practice and train. Hope that helps! If you have more questions, you can DM me @rayecheng22
Raye Cheng I have to agree with you. I have a 4.2, and I work 30 hours a week and I’m on a club team which takes a lot of time.. just stay busy everyday and plan out your days beforehand to make sure you get everything done. And don’t get behind because you can easily get overwhelmed but if you just stay on top of everything then you will be golden. You will also learn life lessons along the way like not to procrastinate and how to manage your time well.
he didnt balance school he drop out of college to become pro footballer
GG10Comps He said highschool not college.
Yo Matt make a video on how to properly train before a tournament plz
Maybe even an in game scenarios training the consecutive moves plus the awareness at the same time .. maybe recieving a long ball anticipating a team shift and recognizing the ping pass, poor posture of defender marking a foward ... foward generating gaps and you doing the through ball... so on
Love the videos keep up the good work
Matt you’re awesome don’t change I take soccer supper seriously and hope to play at the top top level thanks bro for helping soccer ⚽️⚽️🥇🥇
Didn’t watch the video yet but I already dropped a like, already know it’s going to be great....!
I love your videos! Your a very good soccer playr, but i just Wonder, how are you a professional soccer playr when you not play for any team( like in offseason )? But i think u are the best soccer player on yt. Wish u the best matt!
Dope video. Ur really lucky to have a dedicated group of people to train with. Are you ever gonna be in NYC
Your channel is great Matt ! My dream is to become a pro soccer player and I see your work on TH-cam as a free tool to learn more about the real soccer. Don't let the numbers to discourage you, your positive impact that you have on our preparation is in my opinion more important.
So, thank you for all your effort and I wish you all the best !
One of the best soccer youtubers
Mario The best*
Football*
I love your videos and this is my favorite serial
When doing crossing drill if ur on ur own try to get like a pole or something to make it more realistic
This video was great!!
Main video started at 10:35
Thank me later.
He does the same thing in his crossing drills that the f2 brag about 😂
This video was freaking awesome
Hi matt, it's my birthday today! Thnx for the present! :)
Noti squad🤘🏽
💣💣💣💥💥💥
0:44 matt can sing!!!
As a defender, what are your thoughts on slidetackling? It seems some players are more inclined to slide than others.
I belive that it just depends on the game situation good luck!
You should do it, but only as a last resort, as it can be easy to beat you if the attacker knows what you are going to do.
Andy Montalbano im a RWB and I love slide tackling but I only do it when it’s necessary because it is pretty risky
You find that at an amateur level defenders will slide when their positioning isn't great. I play mainly as a central midfielder at a decent amateur level and my defenders will dive into tackles when they're frustrated, beaten or when they're 5 or six steps off of the pace of the game. That being said, actually executing a well timed slide can make you a 10 times better defender and will make attackers think more of how they can beat you if they know that you're able to get the better of them even when your positioning isn't fantastic
Thanks you for these motivation video..So motivate me to train.
Given your comments about your channel stats I would recommend looking into the 1000 true fan book I think it might help you gain perspective and make you feel good
And although you might not have the biggest fan base, you have probably impacted every one of your viewers lives in a positive way so don’t get down on yourself
Your livestream kept me up all last night lol
If 11 UC Davis Matt Sheldons played against 11 pro Matt Sheldons what would the score be?
Love ur vids. Been subbed since a while and love ur ditl kinda vids. But jut I see how they can get repetitive.. maybe u could start a series on the side with a funny name like "Fergie time Goodness" where we send u crazy last minute goals and u analyze.. or maybe you can do something that increases our interaction with u through the net. I saw another channel do this and he almost doubled all his analytics.
If you have free time, come to the Asia, specifically in Philippines sir, and try videos with big players here such as the Younghusbands, Shrock, or Etheridge & Sato if they come here :) Hoping to see you more on the field!
Let’s take a second to appreciate how supportive your girlfriend is! She’s a keeper.
Love you man
Make a video on what music you listen to when you work out
The subs and views are not the most important, if you are not dependig on the ad-revenue, instead its more important to have a loyal fanbase that will watch you consistantly.
The reason I subscribe to you is that you dont do bs, you are the real deal Matt.
So just keep grinding and you will eventually beat both Tseries and Pewds 😆
Explosive workout there
I don't get why people dislike videos like this... haterzzzzz! Nice content Matt!
12:27 That's the most wrongest wrong thing you've ever said in the wrong kingdom of wrong.
I love your videos!
9:15 Drill it would be better if you would aim for crossbar beacuse thats where strikers head is when they jump so you train jus like game scenarious?
What do you think about that Matt?
But it is still best drill possible for crossing!
Love you Matt dude!
It would be a dream to meet you one day!
why wasn't armando keeping? btw love these off-season vids man! really appreciate the work you put in!
Amazing video man
