They might seems like nothing for others, but I really like the fact you still posted the ones when you missed the target or were completely of balance or even make some mistakes. Younger players think pros are perfect. I’m not focusing on the ones you missed, but this had my attention and I think it will really help other players in a way to see that it’s ok to miss.

This is a good question, it takes about 6 weeks to improve cardio to become game fit. The best way to get match fit is by replicating the running tempos found in a match. So HIIT workouts are very beneficial for footballers because it mimics the pace of a match. There's a tone of ways to create this for example actually running a tempo run, sprints, bike ect. Running on its own works but its important to not do it every day because it is very taxing on the body so if you run one day bike the next. You only grow and get stronger when you rest.

The amount of players I've seen go pro from d3 schools or jr colleges is almost as much as d1.

Of course. But remember of the hundreds of players that go to a tryout only a few will be chosen and it is only dependent on what the coach wants at that time. You cannot control that. it will most likely take several tryouts. I was drafted by the Seattle Sounders out of college in 2013. And i was dropped due to an injury. I have been on multiple USL tryouts years later and have not made any of the teams

Hey Matt. I really enjoy the individual/small group training videos. I was also wondering the pitch you were training at, does the public just have access to these sort of facilities in the US? I’m from South Africa and I can’t even find goals to use for finishing(and I’m a striker😞)

It depends what you mean by luck. Luck is just any oppotunity that presents itself. But if you have not been doing the work to develop your skill and game then no matter if every top coach is watching you, it won't matter. Some players need more luck than others. Life can be unfair, some players will get their opportunity easier than others. And unfortunate circumstances can always happen. I have seen players half dedicated to the game who go pro. And players who have been grinding for years and ar better who don't make it. Whether it is because of the coach, timing, agents, etc.

This is a great question I would love to hear what he says, from experience I tend to get frustrated when I train alone sometimes but I have realized its so important to let the mistakes go because I know if I get mad its going to make the session go down hill. Something that helps me get out of that slump in a solo session is slowing it down gaining consistency again in the drill I am doing and then bringing it back to speed. Sometimes tho if a session is really bad ( which happens to everyone ) had one last week its sometimes better to just cut it short because there is no point in making yourself so mad that it carries over to the next session.

I don't understand your question exactly. But if you want to be like a pro at 28 then the result is the only think that matters. Only kids should not play for the result.

Every player at that level knows that the result is the only think that matters

Question For The Q and A: Matt you stated in a previous two minute Tuesday that if you followed Cristiano Ronaldo's exact training program you would never become as good as him. Is Ronaldo's skill and athletic traits not a direct result of his specific training over a long period of time?. Obviously Ronaldo doesn't post his exact weekly training and not many people have access to the same quality of training partners as him. Could you expand on this a bit would be interesting to hear your thoughts?

@CoachOlali

2 жыл бұрын

Individual training alone does not determine the greatness of a player. Most of us do not have the same coaching nor play under the same environment of Ronaldo. In addition, it takes resilience, coachability, and commitment to every training to become on his level and including his willingness to always look at his faults and see where he can improve. It means doing extra when everyone is finished with training. In addition, his IQ level not to mention his physicality. Not to forget, decision making is a huge part. Too many people think that mastering skills will make them a good player. Mastering skills only makes you good at skills. There is a reason that street soccer players cannot translate that level to an 11 v 11 game.

I still remember when I had sent you a snap a whileeee back when you were still sleeping in your friends dorm at USD. You had replied and told me that you had just woken up from the kitchen floor sleeping on a blow up mattress. That moment meant a lot to me, you were willing to train with a player in which at that point wasn’t even very good. I’ve developed an extreme amount in my opinion, training with professionals, playing 7v7 with guys that are playing for MLS clubs and some guys from SD Loyal. And that was last year. Even now I’d say I’ve gotten even better than that point. At the moment I’m just trying to get some film so I can send it out to other professional clubs for the opportunity to play. You’re an incredible role model from thousands of players trying to make it professionally. Just the idea of getting payed to play soccer is amazing, I’m not even trying to get rich from playing soccer, I have other things I’m doing on the side. But I still love the game and just enjoy playing whether it’s pick up, by myself, playing two touch, just pretty much anything that has to do with soccer I love. I genuinely think I’d be a good training partner for you, even if it’s just one session. Please let me know if you’re open to the idea of me training with you!
