This is probably one of the best videos you have ever put out
Appreciate it, man! Means a lot.
@@BecomeElitenahh u got better vids up there fam lol
one thing helping alot in europe, is accepting that you might need to travel to another country. once you accept this, you will have alot more opportunities than you would within one country.
This Channel is so valuable. Every young kid, who pursue a career as a footballer, should subscribe this channel. Honest, realistic and also a good role model, how to be a professional. Thank you Matt!
I saw this and clicked faster than the 6 year olds say "first"
Those 12 year olds need to be banned you have to be AT LEAST 13 there's a reason TH-cam has a guest mode so they can't leave comments
Me too😅
cringe
L comment
@@Bon-kx4bp who? Me?
It's crazy how much you can actually learn by listening to the experience of others
Love the prehab links Matt! Definitly going to do them!
One of the best YTers ever! Thank you
The editing thoughhhh 🔥
Best, most practical/helpful video! Thank you. ✌🏼❤⚽️
Matt this was an amazing video. You perfectly articulated everything I have learned in my career and I can't thank you enough for all your help along the way.
This was an amazing high quality video probably one of my favorites you can just tell the genuine effort you put in.
Such a precious video, thank you so much for your efforts Matt, you are providing invaluable insight.❤
Great video live this stuff
Great video. I felt like this helps me gain a better understanding about becoming a better player.
I was looking for a video just like this yesterday on your channel
Fantastic video Matt!
So much inspiration! Thank you
really good video! Definitely one of your best
great , great video!!!!
Hi Matt! Thanks a lot for such valuable advices. You know, majority of these advices are perfect suit for life not only for football! I'm sure it makes them priceless especially for young guys.
Great video not only for a 16 year old but for the parent of a kid doing well in soccer now
Great video ;)
Thanksss. Big help🔥
Thank you so much for this video, this is some of the best advice I have heard from anyone in football and I really need to hear this at this point in my career as a 16 year old footballer
I have a pre-teen who loves soccer and plays at club level. This video is a great guide to younger players. Thank You for the content Matt!!!
Please bring back the analysis videos ASAP, and please do more analysis on other players like eg: Tips for wingers, Messi analysis. Thanks for the video too Matt 😊
Thanks for this advice role model ❤
Thank u man, big love from eastern europe❤️
Thanks Matt! I'm 24 and still trying to go pro and or at college level. Your videos have helped me a lot.
Amazing video Matt for every player no matter the age.
Great video
Thank you so much for your time making this video. I think it is extremely useful for all those who wants to be professional footballer and don’t know who to start or what to do
Thanks for this bro. I'm a Personal Trainer as my day job, but I'm pursuing a pro soccer contract. I've been going on pro soccer trials, and you're so right about the mental side. Got to definitely keep things in perspective.
Congratulations on your first goal with Detroit!
Thank you!
The real 🐐
Epic video ❤🎉
Super helpful 🔥
Genius video
Needed this! as a 16 year old i wanna improve myself to make it professional or in a good mental state this helped a lot🙏🏽
thank you man
I'm french and this is good help
best football video i've watched, no even joking
U r a great person, may god bless u
Yep absolutely great work man, I just want to know more about the mental/physiological part of the game on the pitch, I’ve already eliminated nearly all my bad habits off the field (still working on some) but on the pitch I can’t find the mindset that fits me best. Do I act as a leader being loud assertive and energetic or do I stay quiet and composed, do I act like Rinaldo or maradona dancing around with the ball at his feet. I’ve tried everything and I know I train hard enough yet still fail doing things in game I can do every time in training. Any thoughts on this haha Ps also bought your dribble workout payed off 😁
Great video ❤️🙏! Some Feedback: it would be highly useful to dive into what to do when you are just "good", and will only make it into paid higher amateur leagues or semi-pros. My kids have these decisions in front of them. They are really good, but not pro level good. Yet if you make it into mid level academies that will allow you to play in a typical league 4-5 in Europe (where the game is still quite good!), the effort to get there is still very high and it's super competitive (due to all the pro academy players that don't make it to pro level). Yet, and that's the key, you make almost no money, and your real career is definitely going to be in something else. Exploring how players in these mid level leagues made their decisions would be super interesting.. Do you sacrifice quite a lot to play on a semi high level (but with super low $), or do you focus on your real career and play in leagues 6-8 (and be the local star when you're actually a pretty good player), having fun with your friends in the local club. After all, if you're not a pro, it's a hobby. That might be an interesting video for many.
Our house needed this. Your video is very impactful to us. Thanks for creating this. Also, can you share what resistance band you use for the prehab workouts?
Honestly, I just get the cheapest resistance bands on Amazon haha. Doesn't really matter too much; they all do the same thing and they all break eventually haha.
One thing I learned was that don’t overthink it,just keep stress free and keep to your plan
Can you make a video with your prehab routine?
Don’t even play soccer anymore still watch this channel
Could you make a video explaining the top 5 leagues league systems
Matt, I have a question. I have 2 training sessions a week(Tuesday & Thursday) while I have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday off. Do you know how I could structure a workout and recovery routine for this? Love the vids!
I remember thinking I was owed a starting spot in college because I was a big fish in a small pond in high school. I got humbled real quick in preseason camp.
Love this video its super helpfull because im 15 and i have the same problem
Hey Matt what are your thoughts on size 1 ball and tennis ball juggling for improving touch and coordination? should they be apart of a training session or more of a warmup/cooldown?
Great video. Sadly at 16 which was 1988 for me, the idea of playing pro soccer was mostly unheard of unless you wanted to be an indoor player. And no American kids were being considered in Europe. So club/high school/college it was! I also remember playing U19 ODP for NY state in 1990 and we had a guest player from Ireland that was starting his freshman year at Fordham U in the Fall and he was here in the US on scholarship because he was cut by the Millwall academy. This kid was twice as good as any player on the NY state team at the time, so we all looked at each other and laughed at the idea of any of us going to England if he wasn't good enough. Times have changed! As Matt says, there are many, many paths today for a young talented player.
Would you do all of the exercises/stretches you were talking about in one session or break them up?
As a center back what are some ways you can standout and tell me if these are good ones: composure on the ball and strong 1v1 defense and distribution
So many young guys have been called the next Messi or Ronaldo just to play 2nd or 3rd division football in their prime. Be carefule who you compare yourself to.
Exactly!
Hey buddy great video how do you train every day ?
I volunteered to coach while student teaching at 23. The head coach gave me a hard time when I complained about being sore saying I was not a young kid anymore. He was right. Now at 39, yeah… yoga is my friend now.
every week how many times should I workout my legs and have individual football sessions as a 15 year old boy?? I jog and train with team 3 times a week. please reply
Maybe don't think of them as 'healthy distractions' but life balance or other 'developed interests'. So important to have these other things balancing work (whether you are a pro baller or not).
Hey Matt
Huge fan
Can the next video be at the age of 21 please 🙏🏿
❤
you think it's different?! the things don't change take note and work on all of it!
@@Kenny-yl9pc thanks
I wish I had this channel at 16. Granted that was right when TH-cam came out so that’s asking for a lot ha
BE and guys, tmmr i have a tournament (u13) and im a central midfielder/attacking midfielder but the thing is do you have any tips/ideas to prepare your mentality because sometimes i lack that a lot. Im like a small b.silva and please i need your help!
If I do those prehabs will it help me even if I don’t play sports?
Now day, i heard that high school and/or college students athletes could get NIL contact while they still in school.
Do i do prehab before or after training? Or on rest days?
I'm 15 years old and currently not in any clubs, I try to train every day but since I can't play any matches/don't have a coach I don't really know what things to train on. All of the tryouts have passed on my local clubs and I don't really know what to do but just wait 1 year. (I still play soccer in my High School but the season doesn't start until the end of 2024). I also looked into summer camps but they seemed a little too expensive for me. I really want to improve my skills and have a dream that I would work non-stop for, but I just don't know how to, is there anything you recommend I should do?
Find pickup groups in your area and play regularly.
Look for a Rec League. You don’t need tryouts and registration is probably still open.
Look for a club team. You will def need one
keep training, keep sharpening your abilities, and honestly just find somewhere you can play often. A city team, a rec league, random pickup games at parks. Keep grinding, keep playing, and keep having fun
The fourteen year old in Philadelphia signed for City.
Ni he didn’t
He did@@Chaveyo_Viafora
I currently play for a Sunday league team and most of our games aren't televised so what can I do to create a highlight reel? Should I go on trials to a better team where their games are recorded or should I continue training with my current team and go to trails at a later point? I am 17 by the way.
pull a friend to video the games. team up with others to get a VEO....
I bought a camcorder on Craigslist and then asked my Mom to record my games when I was in high school. But if you can get to a better a team where they record their games, then that definitely should be a goal of yours.
what a video🫶🏼
UNDer 10 min crew
I'm 19 years old, I'm turning 20 in 3 months, I played football from 12 to age 15 but I stopped when I finished primary school so now I'm 19 and I want to start playing football again but I'm not sure if it's too late because I've lost all my skills when I was younger so now I want to start training again and maybe become something in my life, so is it too late to start my football career?
yes its probably too late to become pro, but you can always enjoy a game as amatour
@@marcin0s830 how do i even start training at 19, like how can i find a club as an amateur player?
@@ywvrn8654 google search low league clubs in your town and call them for trial training
I clicked faster tha fast
Thanks a lot for the video but..
what can I do if I dont have enough time?I am going to have gcses(england year 11 exam) next year and has a lot of pressure on my back.After school at 5PM I come home and do work out on my technical and physical standards.Later I study after my workout till night and wake at 5:30 am in morning to study again before school.On saturday and sunday I have training with my team and work out too.
I just want to know what can I do to Improve in my football side with a very limited time
Yo bro I'm in yr 11 finishing my gsces now and I have to tell you that the exams are not that deep and you don't need to revise as much. Depending on your target grades and how smart you are you can easily get all 9s by revising 2 hours a day from the start of year 11. I was stupid and started studying only 1 week before my gsces but I still managed to catch up with all the content and I can confidently say I surpassed all my target grades so you should have time to train.
If you cut time on social media and games it will give you time to train plus it's now summer so the day will be long giving you more time to train, there's never a better time to start now.
@@Alex-kh1qe Thanks a lot man!
Thats really helpful
But techers areapplying a lot of pressure on us
Thank you again

Wanna say hilol
А в чем сила, американец?
Youth soccer only cares about winning not becoming a better player.
Sadly, that is generally true, but there are always coaches out there that prioritize development and enjoyment of the sport.
Depends on the coach. And the club. A good club balances it out
