Story of my life brother! Playing on 4 continents, leaving family behind, long distance relationships... it's all a part of the dream.

This is an example. To be successful you must sacrifice everything. Keep it up Matt. ❤️

That talk at the end was real asf man. I'm 18 and I've had to make so many sacrifices to not go party and do other things and I always ask my self if these sacrifices are worth it. I wish we can have a talk one on one cuz I relate so much to you man.

Ivan ofc you can hang out but most of the chilling nowadays involves drinking and smoking even just going to the beach and I'm not really widdit cuz it messes up my training vibe cuz I feel like shit afterwards. Also if I have training or a game the next day early sacrifices need to be made and they can be hard.

Alesandro E. yeah bro. I always tell everyone how this soccer/football journey can be a lonely journey at times because not everyone has the same mentality to go out on the field and train with cones to want to play professional. Some people don't understand the sacrifices we have to make and how hard we have to shy away from distractions. Keep grinding bro🤘🏼

Angel Gomez Increase your training intensity,that way you dont have to train for that long, training hard for an hour or two is better than training 4 hours and not training hard

The sacrifice will be worth it brother - keep on that grind - your one of the most real dudes on YT mad respect for you brother

Matt, that part where you talked about how much you miss your family is really sad, but if you think about it at least you have realised how important your family is and when you have a little time to see them you really use it well and really spend time with them . I think this is much better than what most people who have this opportunity to constantly be with their family do, they usually take it for granted and just stare at there phone and not even talk to them or pay attention to them... Just trying to say that no matter who you are or what you do time will never be enough for you to do everything, so instead of wasting it on things that you don't really enjoy or won't help you, in my opinion is useless. From what I've seen in your videos I can say that you definitely know how to spend your time well. Wish you only the best amigo 🙂

PPX EDITZ you are right

In my opinion devoting your life to the thing you love could be no better use of it

Just woke up and you posted. The best start to a day ever

This sacrification happens everywhere and to everyone who wants to succeed or at least follow his dream.I am a student at university and i face difficulties all the time.And i am not sure if my effort is worth it. But i keep trying again and again and even when i fail to pass a test, i will take it again until i pass it.Life is hard and thats a statement.And definitely follow our dreams is a huge risk.But at least if we try our best we will be mentally relaxed and feel good with ourselves.Keep trying guys,never surrender

I took martial arts. I sacrificed that I live with my 86 year old great grandma. I had to sacrifice most of my time I spend helping her to train. I sacrifice socializing with friends I sacrifice going to most family gatherings I have a job from the morning to the afternoon. I only have this job for money to do combines and showcases. Traveling the world. Is sacrifice worth it? Hell yeah it is

At the end, that's real talk right there.. No other youtuber will share these with their audience.. I are a real g.. I wish I was it friend u where younger

Keep going chap and working hard, exhaust all your opportunities in football and then you can enjoy all that other stuff when you've went as far as you can go. I hope that's not for a while though and you're playing for a good while yet. Your family are super cool and are clearly very proud of you and appreciate your hard work and sacrifices.

Greatly admire the real talk at the end. Keep going mate. I'm rooting for ya

I get you man. For the last 3 years I lived on my own in England. Learned so much, gained so much- but also simply missed so much. Away from family hardly seeing them. Been together now with my girlfriend for a little over 6 years and having been away from her for literally half of them. All I can say is as long as you keep perspective of your goal and you want it, you’ll get it. Some more graft now and in a few years you’ll have your dream and the retirement and life you deserve. All will be well bro.

Loved the ending of this video. Keep em coming Matt.

Huge respect to you man

Your probably the most inspirational person on KZread keep up the great work . Also this is channel is meaning of the saying hard work pays off 💪🏼💯

Well done Matt. Sounds like you are almost 100% fit so you can move back closer to home next season. You should be very proud of yourself.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts as an athlete on all the sacrifices you have to make so that your dreams become a reality. Hearing you speak from the perspective of an athlete helps me understand that the amount of work you have to put in if you dream big and want to be one of the best at what you do is huge regardless of your career choice.

Your courage to keep on moving towards your goal is unbelievable. Never give up the dream.

Great speech at the end Matt! Keep it up you really are a great motivational speaker and a role model.

yo matt please don’t delete this video because it helps me a lot with injury prevention and i love this exercises!Thank you!

Thanks for all that you do for us

Just keep up the hard work you deserve a spot in the highest levels 💪

I know how you feel, im training to be a professional tennis player and have sort of moved on to part time coaching and part time playing, it is really hard to succeed, there is so much one has to sacrifice, going out to have fun, eat crap, mostly i just stay home and the tennis court that is it, and now with coaching i spend even more time on the courts to earn money to play tournaments, and because of that i dont have enough rest and training to up my game to prepare for matches. The sports life is a tough life!!

You brought me to tears with this moving talk, Matt! I'm19, majoring in energy engineering and currently playing LB for the D1 football team of National Chen-Kung University, Taiwan. Although playing football is my lifelong passion, I know I'm not professional material and competing in college-level football would probably be the furthest I'll go. I just wanna tell you that you've motivated me so much not only in football but also in having the courage and determination to pursue my dreams. My dream is to become an aeronautics engineer, and I'll keep working towards this goal until it becomes reality.

This comment really has closely related to me ever since I watched Matt, I played for my community college for 2 years and it is the last time I take football seriously because my future family will rely on my paycheck with degree and not football, I just graduated with my associates degree and will transfer to university studying mechanical engineering, as you get older you have to think of what will pay off more for you and your family and so far for me football won't do well therefore I focus on study, keep it up I wish you best😃

I know it might sound like I'm giving up on my dream (maybe to some extent I am), but you have to understand that my chance of succeeding in football isn't significant. I know my level. Furthermore, football isn't my only dream! I too am proficient in academic studies, so that is what I'll continue to pursue. I dunno which country you're at, but here in Taiwan, we don't have a professional football league. It's frustrating how so many players with potential don't get to shine because of this.

Amazing video Matt ❤️ keep up the grind! I think this would change a lot of people's views on the journey to becoming pro. I can't think of doing anything other than football and I will work hard until I achieve my goal of going pro

Some really good exercises here. I always lift heavy and i have gotten so big and neglected these fundamental exercises . Need to reinvest in more resistance bands. Keep it up Matt.

I miss that beautiful city so much! Love Wellington.

Your videos are really inspiring matt, been a sub since 15k keep doing what you do :)

love these

You have to sacrifice for what you want, or what you want is what you sacrifice

Great video Matt, great great great

i admire your hard work !!!!

Thank you❤ you are motivating me in every vedio❤❤ wish you the best

this really spoke to me.

Love the zing pass at the beginning ⚽️🤙

Love the intro

It's only a painfull reminder when you're career is not worth it in your mind but it's really what you want . Having said that you should always prioritize you're family when you are free

Keep on keeping on bro

You are doing 'what sucks' as you said in your other video. In the long run this sacrifices will turn into a river of happiness that has burst it's banks even though it doesn't seem like it.

live how other wont, so you can live like others can't. keep up the dream bro.

Hey really nice video..keep uploading man really good content 👍

I also left my friends and family behind to go to a different country. It's tough sometimes, but it's 100% worth it because I'm where I want to be.

Great mate. Keep going⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Hi Matt! I am from Germany and i also play football since i`m four years old. Recently i have watched a lot of your videos and they helped me a lot to improve my game!! Would love to see you playing in the Bundesliga one day😜

What a channel

Kia kaha Matt!

Agreed at times its tough but worth it in the long run

Man I never comment on videos but your videos are just awesome I play soccer for a competitive team and when I grow up I want to play professionally I try to train everyday, I workout and I hope it all pays off but yeah keep making videos and training hard

Cool vid keep up the work

You know Matt I kinda understand what you mean when you say you met “amazing friends” and then they all “split” recently my teams striker and goalkeeper left and it’s really hard because one second your playing a game with them and then 1 week later their playing somewhere else , it definitely isn’t easy but I want you to know we all support you and we’re not leaving or going to any other teams😂we love you Matt stay strong man you’re our idol

Nice!!

Do a video about what happens when a team signs you including what the doctor does to you what does he check on and ect.

Love them🤩

them cleats are fyee😍🔥

this is crazy, we have the same superflys... the black, purple and orange Spark Brilliance and now these motion blur

Love them

Well, if you really miss them you can use them as motivation, you can think for yourself "I'm doing this for them", or something like that.

Keep taking care of your body. You have a long time to give.All the weekend partying stuff doesn’t end when you’re not young anymore. Do yourself a favor and keep saving your liver for later.

Dude I love your content, please keep posting. I'm here to watch so long as you upload. Keep it up man, you're doing great. I just wanna ask if you could go more in depth or refer me to a website or KZread channel on Soccer Cleats. I know absolutely nothing about them and was puzzled when you said soft ground cleats?

This is so good and true to watch Matt! I’m just starting my journey with the Chelsea ladies U21s and it’s tough but so worth it 🙏🏼keep going Matt ❤️

I understand man. I'm a 29 year old NJCAA Coach entering my fifth season in college come August. You have to sacrifice to make it. I've done the exact same thing on both my mom and dad's Facebook pages trying to find a picture of us together.

I cried si much I cant explain

The story hurts, it really does. Going for this career you're going to be torn. We appreciate you though, do what you can to keep up with family in other ways. Love from Sweden

Damn I love the new boots

Lovely

all these strength exercises require so much dedication. Sometimes i get so tired after an eight hour shift that i would rather just jump in bed.

love your videos please do a video on recovery from injury broke my collarbone so

Hey bro keep up the good vids! Any tips on ACL injuries and how to prevent them? I got both my knees injured and already had a surgery for my left one.

Actually got chills ik sometimes it hurts but would you rather live a life of fulfillment or a life or regret where you only live for the little joys

Yeah, I noticed the Asia thing. In korea, a large at uni qlo is a medium in Australia

Matt Please Don't Make me cry......

Matt you should go to England. Your style suits that style of play.

Those boots are really nice I have the same ones but mine are vapors

Matt, have you tried getting prolotherapy to treat your injury? if not what are your thoughts on prolotherapy in general? keep your head up bro.

idol!

great vid! where did you get your boots from?

Hey Matt I think you should be a free kick specialist as it looks like you have some talent in free kicks. BTW your the best youtuber P.S. Try to score more goals pls

Duudeee you went to NZ!!!!!! Leshgoooo, when you faced Wellington Olympic 🇬🇷 what team were you playing for?

I've always wanted to be a football player sometimes I would play from 9 in the morning till 9 at night and I would love every single second but even for me it would be very hard to leave all my freinds and family but it would be my dream so I would give it a shot however over in England it is a lot easier as their are semi-pro and pro teams every where

Do a cleat collection
