Hey Matt my name is Matt too! Haha but I just wanted to say your a huge inspiration to me. Before I started watching you I thought I had no chance of be aiming a good soccer player. But after I started watching you I started to train every single day and I can tell I got so much better. I'm not the best or amazing but I training to become that. Two years ago I a chubby and wanted to make a difference I started to workout and finally after 4 months I lost 45 pounds. I started to do weight lifting about a year and a half ago and I'm still going at it about 4 or 5 times a week. I'm also training twice a day for soccer. Just wanted to say to keep up the great work! And thank you!

Me too bro! GOD loves you! Jesus loves you! Wish you all the best!
Amazing! So happy that my videos have changed your life for the better. Very cool to read. Keep working hard every single day and you'll continue to see great results.
+Hosea Belton you are a legend
Thanks, your UA-cam channel is growing very fast. I was with you since the beginning. Hello from Portugal. I'm here on vacation
been here from the start... its great to see how much this channel has grown and the journey of your life. Hope to see more progression here, your professional life and personal life!!!
1000-5000 is low for a 3rd division!? here in mexico you sometimes don’t get paid in 3rd division 😂

I love the honesty from Matt he's deffo gonna make it
If you get some free time please do a vid on defending. You are an awesome player. Good luck for your upcoming games.
do other USL players have a job outside football, or they are all full time football players?
They are all full-time footballers
you are a very inspirational footballer!! I watched your video on a full training session in a tiny box and I am truly amazed I've been doing it every day ever since.I have been watching you for a long time now and your mentality is awesome,I hope you play for the mls one day!!!!!!
I think you struck a gold mine with these videos. Its a VERY good concept. I myself was pondering filming and uploading a full series intended to go from when I'd start going to professional tryouts, the fails, the wins, eventually making it to a team, and continuing until hopefully making it to a high caliber professional team.
I'm glad you started this series and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. You seem like you work hard and love what you do. I have a feeling you'll go far if you keep it up. cheers!

"3:22" hopefully I'll be in the mls. I like you!
Matt your a huge inspiration for me. I have only recently discovered this channel but for a young American player, this channel is the best thing out there advice wise.
Hello random person scrolling down the comments I just wanted to tell you you are beautiful and I hope you have a great day
Thanks for the positivity man, I have having a bad day, you made it better!
Thanks man 😄

Congrats on 30k Matt, completely deserved! Hands down the best youtuber
you're really inspirational man. I'm an 18 y/o aspiring professional, and you motivate me to get up off my ass and work for my dream.
Its 5 years , are you still alive? Have quit ?
This guy is so underated
So much good advice in one video. Thanks man, you're seriously becoming a role model to me.
Loved your Q+A and all your other videos. Very inspirational and educational. Well edited, etc. I'm a youth soccer coach and I appreciate that you've shared so much of your experience and knowledge! Good luck in 2017!
You should join SF Deltas, which is a D2 team coming to SF in 2017. Since ur a good player, you should join and help them make it to MLS!
Da Gov a
Loved the part where you said that your main goal was just to play soccer, you didn’t care if you made it professional or not. That’s how it should be.
Very informative video, I know you put a lot of work into it with all the different scenes. Cheers!
You're a great inspiration to me, keep making videos and keep up the great work and sooner or later you will find yourself at MLS👍
Congrats on 30k man! Well deserved with the amount of work you put into this channel!
Bro respect to this guy what a story hope you achieve your goals.
PS: I’m new to this channel looking threw some vids
Loved this Q&A. Not just soccer related, but genuine life questions and advice. Much love brother. Keep it up!
When coaches yell at you they see something in you and think you can go far
"cracked 30,000 subs" *here at 446k*
absolutely killing it mate!!
Damn he said 30k subscribers, time and effort does wonders, its amazing to see
Does Episoketren System (just google it) help me improve the weakest part of my soccer game? I see many people keep on talking about this popular training program.
Seeing this makes me happy that people actually successful in the things that they love. Sadly for me i never really had the opportunity to when i was younger to play for a actual team because i never had a ride or anything of that sort. Entered in highschool and same thing until junior yr. I was expected by the whole team because everyone wanted to see me play. The coaches never did know me so when i went i did everything at a high level even when we did a small scrimmage. I got bs'd when i realized there was ppl out there that werent near as good as me nor the average player (not trying to sound cocky) but they still got choosen because they know the coaches. I got let down super badly because everyone knew i shoudve been on the team. It sucks that i just never got a chance to be apart of an actual team when i have the potential
Thanks bro look forward to new vids. Keep up the good work and wish u the best
Love your content, subscribed!
Thank you so much dude you really deserve more subscribers
I really appreciate your videos!!
Just came across your videos tonight and I'm hooked. I understand how uncomfortable it is to answer any questions about wages or salaries so thank you for doing so. I was surprised to learn that USL players could earn up to $5000 a month. I'm assuming not too many lads make that but that's quite nice. You could have a nice life with that kind of money in Kentucky (where I live).
did anyone ever tried to stop u playing soccer or was there anyone in ur family/friends who didnt want u to play soccer
No one in my family wanted me to play football they only wanted me to study 😭
Again, great video mate:)
I`m also playing football at high level and I`m 18, adapting to new positions and things, I have so many questions and somehow I always find atleast something that answers my questions and helps me develop:)
Thank you, wish you all the best:)
3 years ago. what became of it, mate?
Look Matt I have just started playing soccer I just wanted to know how to shoot the with and yes I have seen all your videos
great video, great information
I wish i had this channel back in school. It might have made the difference for me.
great jod , always enjoy watching your vid,n also get lots of motivation from your vid😁😁
Can you upload your highlight video that you sent to Davis, I wanna see what it takes to go Div 1, and what you should have in a highlight video. Thank you!
Right here, my man! This is the actual highlight video I sent to the UC Davis coaches: ua-cam.com/video/uwuCXTglOfI/v-deo.html
Okay thank you! I'm looking to go to America on a soccer scholarship from Ireland and I have to put together a highlight video! Thanks so much!😆
Keep it up you are the best
Were you a senior or junior when you sent that highlight video to UC Davis?
thankyou so much for making yr videos even though i have just come across yr chanel and already love your content its amazing and so helpful. Finally a chanel that has a footballer with experience teaching us the best ways to improve. Thankyou so much you are a star.
Come to Germany to Hannover 96
I recently sustained a toe injury (my big right toe) and now I can't play soccer for the next 4-8 weeks (I have to wait until the swelling in my right toe decreases and looks like my left big toe). I've been feeling glum, the school year started and I've been having major plans to train and get better for soccer tryouts this year. I've been playing alot over the summer and was hoping to keep the ball rolling.
The current plan is to weightrain mon-thurs and yoga fri/sat morning. But the original plan was to do that and play soccer in the afternoons, like I was doing in the summer. So, I'm not replacing soccer with anything, I'm just losing it for the next month or two. Hopefully I can gain muscle mass and flexibility during the months I can't train soccer/ running but I was planning to do that anyways and get better at soccer. So being able to weight train isn't making me feel much better.
I was unable to make the team last year, and I had high confidence this year if I consistently trained prior, but now I feel my chance is gone. I remember you had that leg injury weight training in HS and I was hoping you can give me advice on how to stay positive / make the most of my time off soccer.
Side Note: My toe has actually been fractured for a month and I've just been playing on a swollen toe. I didn't realize it was fractured all this time (as I could still play easily as long as I didn't toe blow) until it became hard to walk after a recent accidental toe blow. So I'm definitely not gonna brush this off and I will wait for my right toe to be fixed before I start playing again cuz I've been brushing this off for too long and prolly could have gotten off much lighter if I took off sooner.
Like the salary question! Important for future decisions.
been here since before 2,000 Congrats :)
Great video Matt keep up the hard work
Great video! Your soccer training videos are so good, you definitely deserve more subscribers! Keep up the great work
Happy late birthday, glad we could give you a good 30k birthday present xD !! Keep growing your channel and your soccer career
You should try out for the sf deltas, thy are a new team in San Francisco and in the second division
This is my freshman year and I'm really aiming for varsity. I'm a girl and I've been training really hard and running every day. The coach from my highschool saw my best game in 8th grade just a couple months ago. I was the best on that team and I really stood out because of that. He knows me, and he knows what I can do. But not everything because I've been getting better. I can juggle 192 now and my touch is so much better. The tryouts are in the 2nd semester, and I'm kind of nervous for highschool. I'm going to try my hardest to be as good as I can get to the older girls. Any tips?
Did you make it?
Matt, You're a beast.
Love your videos. I watched each one and it's helping me a lot. I also like you as a person
Try to get signed to the real monarchs I live in Utah and I would what you play
Good for u you deserve 30k
Guys i did it....people say that i made a mistake but i'm just going to try it....I am going to go to the LA Galaxy ll open tryouts ($185) in January......do you guys think it's going to be worth it....i'm guaranteed (2) 60 minute matches
my friend did it nothing came of it. but if you are good enough they will see you
I don't think you should do it because you have to be at a whole other level to be noticed. Clubs mostly do that to make money. Well, at least that's what I've heard
in a video i watched of the first open trial at LA Galaxy the coach/scout said that over 200 people went to the trials and they picked like 15 people who they thought were the best. After that they had another trial just for those 15 and only 1 person was chosen from that 15. That 1 person then had to go through another trial because he had to train with the 1st team for a week and the coach said he would make a decision after that week. I dont know if he made it into the team or not but in the end only 1 person or noone got into the team out of 200.
Which day are you going?
***** i'm going on the last weekend which is the 28th and 29th.....Good Luck tho
Great info ! Thanks

9 to 5 job seems boring and I feel useless with a bunch a free time I would start soccer as a way to get out of it particularly because its interesting and your always up and doing something
I'm 16 I weigh 112 and im 5"5. i play for Boca juniors soccer academy. i know diet is extremely vital and eating fruits and veggies is crucial but I need to gain weight... I train 5-6 days a week and probably burn 1,000 calories a day so I burn like a 1 pound at the end of the week. is it bad if i eat junk food or foods that have a lot of fat and calories since I need to gain weight and have fast metabolism and will burn it? I also mix in veggies along with the fatty foods. @become elite please answer.
Become elite if you could answer this
I think that you should be fine with some junk food but make sure to eat a lot of protein and good carbs and I think you should be fine
I think that you should be fine with some junk food but make sure to eat a lot of protein and good carbs and I think you should be fine
dont have to eat junk food most likely make you feel sluggish, load up on carbs, easiest way would be to add a cup of brown rice to every meal and youll put weight on pretty quick,
or bit more work track your calories, consume 500 extra calories a day and you will put a pound on a week, id recommend myfitnessPal to track your calories and weight
What you are talking about is called "Dirty bulking." I have done both dirty bulking and clean bulking (Only eat healthy foods to gain weight) and I can tell you that Dirty Bulking is not as effective. By eating unhealthy foods, you consume simple sugars and not enough protein which leads to less muscle growth and more fat gain. Even if you try to cut weight after you dirty bulked, you'll find that since you were filling up on foods low in protein, you don't even gain that much muscle.
I know how hard it is to gain weight. I was 5'8" and 115 pounds when I was 16 years old so I was even lankier and skinnier than you. You just have to eat healthy foods rich in protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. You have to eat 5-6 meals a day and you have to eat past the point of feeling full. It sucks, but if you want to see the best results, it's what you have to do.
Hey man, I started playing soccer late, like 8th grade, I was alright, that summer I worked my ass off and tried out for the varsity team and by the grace of god I made it, (disclaimer: we were not good) I was a mediocre player especially since I was playing with people who played their whole life. I stopped playing soccer on a team after sophomore year because my school work got extremely hard and I was a part of other organizations. I never stop doing drills and playing on my free time though. I'm about to go to the marines, and my recruiter tells me that the marines have a soccer team. My goal is to train really hard on my free time and joining the USMC soccer team and after leaving the marines play D1 or D2 in college. People tell me all the time that I'm over shooting since I played on a team for only three years but I feel like if seriously put in the work to improve my skills and seriously learn about the game, I can achieve my goals, will your program help me with this?
Also do you think I'm overshooting my goals? I really have only been playing soccer for a few years, but I feel like I have the potential.
Average salery in 3rd Division germany is about 116,000 €/year
Hello there, I want to know if Episoketren System, will work for me? I notice a lot of people keep on speaking about this popular training course.
Your doing great . What an inspiration to a 13 year old like me .
Cool video! Subbed!
I wish I could be playing professionally. I see my brother who plays a Div A and also in the national tram but the amount he gets isn't really good. Had i made it to that level, I would have been much more happier/fulfilled then being an accountant.
Hey lads out here in the comment section. I am a german soccer player and I am currently 13 years of age. In the summer I am going to one of the best soccer camps in Germany where they tell you if they think you are going to make it as a pro baller. Wish me luck! Thanks!
Did you contact college scouts to go see you play when you went into d1?
Try out for the Carolina Railhawks !!!!
Recently I have been getting cramps whenever i exercise. How do I stop them?
I had clicking on my ankle and toe for about 5 months. It has been going away though for me ankle, but not for my toe. Is there something to help make it better?
who gave you the idea to go in Germany ?
Now it’s 136k ouiii bettt lets go Matt
Usually people pay to play at 3rd division and below.
Hey Matt could you please respond to this question. How do u deal with having an off week in training (with ur team). Like I had such a good game on Sunday but this week at training, I've been playing so bad, like my reactions in the practice game,decision making and speed. I was also swinging and missing the ball when I attempted to clear a dangerous ball from defence. Could you please help me? I have a gazillion thoughts in my head and it's like a roller coaster of thoughts and I can't stop thinking about how I'm going to play on the weekend.
The knuckles in my feet crack when I walk, do you know what that could be??
If you go to a chiropractor he or she can fix that
This video gave me a lot of hope, hearing you say freshman year you weren't big or varsity, but I've got a question in the event that you ever see this. When you were in highschool, did you work out and grind as hard as you do now? Were you able to?
I could probably play in the US 3rd div.
Do it.
I have the ankle clicking thing too
Thanks matt
Thank you for being transparent!
Hey Sheldon, I am 24, turning 25 in December, I was recently told by an agent that I should forget Professional Football, Do you honestly think I should push through or just focus on something entirely because I am interested in football as a whole even asides playing it.
That being said, you should look into the Cincinnati Kings or Louisville City. Your money would stretch more here.
love ur tutorials
What's your hight and how many hour u give to your gym and football?
Hey Matt, hearing you say your not living your dream life makes me sad, but keep going bro. Train and train and mostly have fun playing the Beautiful Game. I hope you go to the MLS and become one of the best in the world. Be yourself also Matt Sheldon.
Your great I look up to you
Can't wait to see you in FIFA one day
your the best
Excuse me, I'm a junior high school student in Taiwan, and I really really want to become a professional footballer.I talked with my coach at school yesterday,the answer depressed me a lot.He said that it is too late for me as those teams won't pick me because I'm too old and was not trained in their systems, nearly impossible, he said.
Just to let you know, Taiwan is a place where football isn't considered as something important(no pro teams,too),and we don't have agents,too.
I really want to know what should I do.Thank you.
Ryan Tao grind harder and keep up a really good nutrition, don't worry about what high school coaches say, they aren't pro managers/coaches for a multitude of reasons. But always be wary about you not making it. Get good grades and find a nice career besides soccer that'd you'd like
Hey Matt! I was wondering how I would need to gain a little more weight? I'm 5'7 1/2 in. I weigh about 135. I'm 16 and I'm a Junior in HS. Also any tips on going to college. What to send to coaches, etc. Hopefully you can answer. I would greatly appreciate it!! A dream of mine is to go to the next level play pro some day!
Yo man. Could u pls make a video on how to go pro in countries with poor scouting systems, talent detection...?
Hey Matt great video! I have a question, what collage should you go to if you want to enter professional soccer? I just turned 17 and in the 11th grade and am currently injured (I had surgery on my knee because I tore my acl and meniscus and currently in rehab) and do u think its too late to train to become a pro? I started playing soccer age 14 and I want to become a great midfielder. Thanks if you give me advice!
