If your having heel problems put some shock absorbing tape on the part where it’s rubbing. I did this and had no more problems with my heel. Like so he can see this so he doesn’t get a blister.
It’s 2020 but yea I agree sometimes I miss shots or just mess up in general and have times where I don’t think I can go pro but I realize professionals also mess up and it gives me motivation.👏👏
Matt. I wish you the best luck and I hope that all your dedication pays off playing at the highest level you possibly can. I never really commented on your videos but I was thinking that I should as you are one of my greatest idols. And I learned so much from watching your channel. You motivate me to never put a excuse as why I won’t make it, or why others are currently better than me. I’m currently a 14 year old bout to be 15. I have currently an ligament injury on right leg hamstring area hoping to be back as soon as possible. And I just wanted to share something that just makes me proud. I’m currently a freshman. during summer I started going to summer workouts for my high school. I worked by myself and at the workouts to improve and really try to get a spot on the team. So I went to a camp called “wake forest high school camp” and it wasn’t only high school’s. There were also academy clubs. So it happened this summer 4 days before tryouts with my high school team. Overall the clubs teams we’re at a higher level than my team was. We played 4 games. Lost 3, and won only one. What makes me proud is that the game we won. I was working hard. It was one of the good days. I was in the right mentality, and I was playing hard and smart. I play striker by the way. So we started loosing 1-0 we go to break then return. After 10-15 minutes I get the ball I’m standing a bit outside the box I try to dribble and past the defender but I fail. He gets the ball but I stay on the play, and recovered(all this in seconds). I pass the ball to my teammate next to me. I see he’s about to shoot and as soon as he did it. I run straight into the goal and the goalie drops the ball and I crashed on the net after this my team started to work harder and we won the game. What makes me proud is that I apply all I have practiced and that I learned from either watching you or striker tips somewhere else. It also makes me proud that even tho I took 2 shoots in first half and one went over the goal, and the other one straight at the center, I just simply kept working and succeed. I do not want to make everything look so good as even though I made the JV team my season stats wise was really poor but I’m just simply going to keep working and fight for my profesional dream. This is a really long comment but I hope you can share this if you can. And once again all my respect to all your dedication you put on day by day and I hope the best in your career!
I also thank you so much as I was never an athletic kids with goals. I arrived to the use 2 and 1/2 years ago and I was a unhealthy eater, unatletic and overall not in the right mentality to truly fight for the professional dream. I just want to thank you once again as all I have learned from your videos such as diet, consistency, and pushing out of Comfort zone it’s unexplainable!
Amazing to read, bro! Thank you for taking the time to write and share this with me! I’m so happy that my videos and my advice has helped you out so much. That is awesome to hear. Best of luck with your career and your goals. Keep working and keep pushing to reach that next level.
Good luck man im a freshman too and was onto the varsity team though it was only because there were only enough players for a varsity team. Even though i played varsity as freshman and barely got playing time i am working very hard to be ready for next year. Wish you luck 👍
Keep it up Man, I've been following you since when you started this TH-cam channel, you've teach me a lot thanks man,and I'm 13 years old,hope I can meet you one day
As a Nike obsessed soccer player, I'd try the vapor 12 pro that's not flyknit. It's the same synthetic upper like your green vapors. I'd also highly recommend the phantom vision!
@@akselbattal if anything the pro is more durable because it's a synthetic and not flyknit. Also, have you tried the pro? Most say they're essentially the same as the vapor 11, the top model. I think people judge them because they're technically a takedown but if he likes vapor 11s, the 12 pro are essentially that with an improved fit
Man you should never go into a shooting session with completely new shoes haha of course it will hurt then try a juggling session in the beginning and stuff
My crossing improved after I started practicing them with a run, anywhere from 10-50 yards. I would dribble with the ball all the way, or sprint w out the ball and pk it up 5-15 meters from where I wanted to cross from. This was meant to replicate the fatigue ur legs experience getting into a crossing position and then making a sharp cross through the fatigue. Crossing at speed requires a slightly different technique then a cross u can walk into.
Matt to prevent the rubbing on your heels and on your foot , apply Vaseline (petroleum jelly) in your sock to places such as the heel , toe and underfoot
Yo, Matt, thanks for showing training sessions sometimes go wrong even for people like you, it makes me feel better now, most of the times when I mess up I just lose motivation, you are right, there are no excuses, have the best of luck on the trial!
I did the exact same as you regarding the switch from Nike to Adidas. Been wearing vapors for the past 5 years and ended up buying the vapor 12s. The new vapors felt way too wide. Ended up selling the vapors and buying the same adidas boots you bought. So happy with the switch
Great video Matt i have been waching you chanel for a while and you inspire me a lot i also love soccer and dream of going pro and just like you i play defence (left Back) also because of you i made Rush Canada soccer academy
I bet you would like the copa 18.1. feels like a speed boot and is very soft leather. i know its not a current model but I guarantee you will like them, they are relatively cheap as well
Matt, I have those same boots. They take a little while to break in especially around the side and back of your heel. It will fix it self through a little time
Very good video!! I appriciate your work I also have a question, should I foamroll my back? Because I have heard from some people that it is good and some say it is bad, I have not done it because Im scared I am gonna get Injured. Please somebody answer, I need to know.
Yooo matt That exact same thing happaned to me a month ago. I was always a nike hypervenom player and I swiched to the adidas 18.1 (the same ones you bought) and it made some horrible blisters on the heel area and my shot wasnt on point also so I held it for a week and then went back to my OG nikes😎 Dont change a winning horse bro
You're amazing Matt, thanks for the great content. To avoid blisters I buy blister protectors from Target medical section. It really covers it well and is painless. Good luck
upgraded from cheap hypervenom to 18.2 fg (similar to yours). the differnce in touch alone was enough to keep me with the adidas boots... BUT, the did stretch a bit so might be something to watch for.
Matt, get the take down version of the new vapors. I have them and they feel just like the old generation. They nice and tight and get quality, and the best part is, they retail at 120 with ACC.
I also definitely noticed that the new vapors have a wide fit. It totally sucks bc the older ones fit my foot sooooo good but the new ones feel sort of clunky in the toe box. :(
I've always used Adidas when I played soccer because i could get brand new ones and wear them and not get blisters. I had tried wearing nike's but they didn't fit right or comfortable and currently I use nemeziz and they fit nice and are comfortable
Thank u so much this video inspired me to do well on the pitch and to buy the football boots shown in the video I wish to c u one day and to be as good as u keep it up x
i primarily wear nike but tried these and the comfort is amazing. The fit right out of the box, zero break in. My only complaint is how hard they are to put on. I also tried the Puma Future Netfit 2.1, which are also amazingly comfortable but less of a tight fit like the X/mercurial.
Like you I love mercurial vapours i have had different type of pairs but I feel like switching to Adidas and have done for ages but idk if I should any recommendations for Adidas boots for wingers
Matt I had the same type of session you just had when I tried the same adidas boots coming from vapors. I couldn’t do it. My touch and my technique was off. Haven’t worn them since.
i never comment but i had to this time. its just so funny to me because i was saying in my head the hole training session that i would be pissed if that where me and that this is one of those ones where you not hitting nothing. just funny to see someone just like me
High priced boots will have a better feel for the ball. I would recommend high priced boots they won't make you any better but if you know how to kick a ball properly high priced boots will make a difference.
Don’t buy high priced boots until you know for sure your current boots are inadequate - maybe try a pair of your teammates before buying. I’m a coach & my worst players buy the most expensive boots.
My friend who I train with says the higher priced boots help with things like long balls. I usually am comfortable in any shoe i wear. So i doubt ill be buying expensive cleats but i was just interested in hearing other people’s opinions on experiences shoes
Basically When I bought Adidas X18.1 It squeezed 2 sides of my upper heel and It took almost 1 month to get used to it. But still I love Mercurial Vapor 12, Superfly 6
Can I ask everyone if what can you possibly do to a damage ball like, it cant be inflate? Do you throw it away, or do something to use it again? Thanks!
I had the Nike magista x turf , And everytime I played I used to get huge blisters on the right heel and couldn’t do anything due to the pain . And I just threw it away as the blisters pissed me off ! So I just went to wearing my old boots worn out boots !!
Boots don't matter, you will pass the trial with anything you put on even if it's a sneaker on one foot and a turf shoe on the other. Just play your best!
I have the superfly 6s they are pretty nice but the shape doesnt really fit my foot. Keep in mind I've had them for a few months so next season I'm prob going to get x18.1s.
Matt do you have a program or tips on how to get more shredded because you look like you have a low body fat percentage how do you lower your body fat?
Not gonna hold you Matt, that is not the best way to break in cleats. I've been doing this for a few years now, I wear the boots in the house while I am chilling until I can wear them for a few hours without discomfort. If they are leather shoes, sometimes barefoot to help soften the leather. One the shoes have formed to my foot I then take them to individual practice sessions
Trials are at one club. A combine is like a talent show where scouts will come to to look at a large number of players and decide who to give trials to or sign
If your having heel problems put some shock absorbing tape on the part where it’s rubbing. I did this and had no more problems with my heel. Like so he can see this so he doesn’t get a blister.
Tanner he would be having them because he’s not using an artificial grass soleplate while training there.
@@joelcreamer2522 its for that i had the same problem then changed to an artificial soleplate and no more pain
He's using FG when he should've used AG
Also the heel counter has to be broken in
I'm so glad you show your missed shots and how frustrating it can feel. That kind of realistic honesty is so refreshing!
It’s 2020 but yea I agree sometimes I miss shots or just mess up in general and have times where I don’t think I can go pro but I realize professionals also mess up and it gives me motivation.👏👏

What store did he get his cleats from
Paul Kim nah the pro version is not as good in terms of overall performance, fit and durability
@@akselbattal if anything the pro is more durable because it's a synthetic and not flyknit. Also, have you tried the pro? Most say they're essentially the same as the vapor 11, the top model.

@@paulkim2944 I mean it is a takedown so there have to be some cons
Then why wouldn’t he just buy the old vapors again ???
I just love how supportive Mimi is ❤️
I appreciate your videos too. I coach my kids in soccer and so i use some of your information and stuff to train and teach them.
Man you should never go into a shooting session with completely new shoes haha of course it will hurt then try a juggling session in the beginning and stuff
I just made the switch from hypervenom phantom/mercurial vapors to the X too and I agree with you. It hugs your foot in all the right places.
My crossing improved after I started practicing them with a run, anywhere from 10-50 yards. I would dribble with the ball all the way, or sprint w out the ball and pk it up 5-15 meters from where I wanted to cross from.

Keep us posted on that trial Man!! Go
Out there, have fun! And make is proud! All your fan base want to see you succeed man! Have fun!
When I got the X 18.1s they were rubbing on the top of my foot where the lace holes are, but after a week or two they pain stopped and now I love ‘em
Bryson Riddington when they were rubbing that means you didn’t break it yet
A man with dream need a woman who believe. Mini always there for Matt through hard and good times. Just amazing to see that. God bless you guys
I did the exact same as you regarding the switch from Nike to Adidas. Been wearing vapors for the past 5 years and ended up buying the vapor 12s. The new vapors felt way too wide. Ended up selling the vapors and buying the same adidas boots you bought. So happy with the switch
“So I picked up the x. Ummm... these ones” 🤣
Please make sure that you get rounded cleats instead of blades when playing on turf.
Hey man thanks so much for your vids thanks to you I now train for Northern Ireland at only 12!
Do you have an under 13's national team?
HubertBS I just train with others my age, there’s no actual team until around u15s
@Dxniel do you mean the republic of ireland?
@@cobblebobblemb6474 right okay, so no kits and stuff?
HubertBS nah, just training like 2 or 3 times a week
off season videos have been amazing matt keep them going
Great video Matt i have been waching you chanel for a while and you inspire me a lot i also love soccer and dream of going pro and just like you i play defence (left Back) also because of you i made Rush Canada soccer academy

Keep it up man! I’d love to see a video about some effective drills to do alone!
Very good video!! I appriciate your work
I also have a question, should I foamroll my back? Because I have heard from some people that it is good and some say it is bad, I have not done it because Im scared I am gonna get Injured. Please somebody answer, I need to know.

Try getting the mizuno rebula or morelia neo. They are the gold standard in terms of comfort, lightness and ball feel
I had the same problem for the Adidas try putting a small thin sock over your regular sock because the blisters are bad
Great video Matt! Absolutely love it!
4 new balls and new cleats! Sorry that you had a bad training, keep it up
best of luck in your trial man ! :)
Have anyone tried the Tiempo Legend 7 elites? I’m debating of buying them or the Vapor 12 elites
Like you I love mercurial vapours i have had different type of pairs but I feel like switching to Adidas and have done for ages but idk if I should any recommendations for Adidas boots for wingers
Joshblades Go adidas X line. If the laceless X 18+ fits you well, go for it. To be on the safe side, go X 18.1 and adjust the laces to your feet.
ilocosmetro thanks g
First training back after a break plus new boots, we dont expext you to have a good training natt. Keep going
Nice boots man! What do you think about new balance cleats?
Good video Matt you have helped me so much
You should aim for the far post and you crosses will instantly get better. thanks for the content you inspired me to make a coaching channel
7:00 blonde with the dog checking his ass out 😂😂👍🏼
Wish you were still at STLFC!!
We missed you this year
Whats the name of the song, in the beggining of the outside training?
Matt I had the same type of session you just had when I tried the same adidas boots coming from vapors. I couldn’t do it. My touch and my technique was off. Haven’t worn them since.
Don't take a pre workout as I take this pre-workout disclaimer. Dead hahaa.
Wow I love the X point these ones! 😂
I just got the pure white, i was not sure which to get but they are much more comfortable. I got the laceless from soccerloco black friday deal
Hey man you are one of my favs to watch i am a half pro soccer player here in denmark.
If the cleats are rubbing against your heel, I usually put a thing cotton in there so it's more comfortable.
pretty solid workout. I would personally leave out or replace the leg extension/curls
Are we really going to ignore the ball that went flying out 10:24 😂😂😂
I was wondering where that came from.
Great video Matt!
i never comment but i had to this time. its just so funny to me because i was saying in my head the hole training session that i would be pissed if that where me and that this is one of those ones where you not hitting nothing. just funny to see someone just like me
them boots are so sick not only the boots this video as well matt Sheldon you are my inspiration
Wish you the the best of luck in the trial!
What socks are those? In need of some new training socks for this season
Yo Matt you should practice at Cleveland high school love your vids!
Do you think boots really make a difference I usually go out and buy cheap boots that fit me well and never considered buying higher priced boots
High priced boots will have a better feel for the ball. I would recommend high priced boots they won't make you any better but if you know how to kick a ball properly high priced boots will make a difference.

upload for often if u can ur videos make me happy :)
Boots don't matter, you will pass the trial with anything you put on even if it's a sneaker on one foot and a turf shoe on the other. Just play your best!
My guess is the FC Dallas USL3 private tryouts on December 14th & 15th
I have the superfly 6s they are pretty nice but the shape doesnt really fit my foot. Keep in mind I've had them for a few months so next season I'm prob going to get x18.1s.
I was hoping you were getting some New Balance 😕. That what Tulsa wears...
Wtf, dont you have the nike mercurial vapor 12 elite fg, the white ones?
Yeah
I gave those away... I didn’t like them
@@BecomeElite and pink-white boots?
F D I
Ok, But isn't the vapor 12 same As superfly 6? I tried both and end up going with vapor, (meu jogo), felt the same.
Seriously man your attitude is top class
Hey bro you don't have any advertisements like nike and adidas?
Looking very very sharp in the Ronaldinho drill👏🏽
Matt do you have a program or tips on how to get more shredded because you look like you have a low body fat percentage how do you lower your body fat?
13:21 what a goal 😂😂
Nice boots! Try the hot water trick that works for me all the time.
Except it ruins or weakens the glue on the boots.
My favorte boots are the nemeziz 18.1
Matt, what pace u run at ?
U motivate me to train every day wake up at 6 every day keep it up
Where do you buy the small cones and how much do they cost.
Matt i literally Dm’ed you and said i knew it was gonna be X 18.1 😂
I had the same problem, I got a blister on my left ankle but my right foot felt fine
Not gonna hold you Matt, that is not the best way to break in cleats. I've been doing this for a few years now, I wear the boots in the house while I am chilling until I can wear them for a few hours without discomfort. If they are leather shoes, sometimes barefoot to help soften the leather. One the shoes have formed to my foot I then take them to individual practice sessions
Actually the best soccer youtuber out there!
Can you do a cleat collection?
I had vapor 11 and 12 and Im very Happy with both
They are the best boots I’ve ever bought 👌🏼good choice
what is a combine? how is it different from a trial?
Trials are at one club. A combine is like a talent show where scouts will come to to look at a large number of players and decide who to give trials to or sign
Wait what happened to the 2 pairs of new vapours he bought in new Zealand
15:04 I fucking died hahah,when u had enough of your bad shots and crosses ffs
You can buy your old vapors boots on ProDirect
I bought the same boots bout a week ago
