A good initiative Matt 💪 I think many young players get confused by everything they see on social media these days and having someone of your knowledge level and expertise to break it down is great!
If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I Matt I wanted to let you know I signed my first pro contract this evening. And I wanted to thank you❤️you helped me and lots of young players out there and your are still doing that today. Really thank you man❤️On your next game walk on the pitch as a hero and a legend cause you inspire me all the way from Mauritius❤️🇲🇺. Hope you get to see this❤️
Great idea and a great video !!! Thank you for your comments about the “always” and “never” instructions… I also think it’s good to have full speed then slowed down, but knowing that it may be better for longer form vids… I love your training videos and 7mlc (in particular), so valuable and appreciated!
I think the most important thing when it comes to training is to focus on your weaknesses and try to replicate things that you would do in a game. My experience at the professional level showed me that you don't become a pro by dribbling like Messi or Neymar. Everyone at the professional level is a pro due to their ability to do the basic things right with minimal mistakes. Then adapting to the faster pace of the game and having a higher IQ. That's what makes a player turn into a professional.
I'm always in awe at the levels between average person and professional athletes. Looking at these TikToks with highly technical skills that I'd struggle with and then realizing that even then most of these people wouldn't even break into a u-21 Premier League academy team.. the levels are insane lol
Thanks for doing this, Matt. Even as an older player it’s hard to not feel bad for not doing every drill I see on social. You reminded us that the simple ones are best.
Nonstop Progress is a footballer from my area of the country. He's a Albion San Diego currently playing in NISA. Been following him for almost as long as I have you. I enjoy both y'alls content.
Used to play soccer when I was younger. I played for about 7 years until I just started getting a little bored of it. but recently I've been re-connecting with the sport and I'm trying to get that muscle memory back. I don't think I'll play, but more of just as a hobby. I think this is a great break down and explanation on why some of the videos are not always going to be useful in game. :>
8:56 the placement shot I used to say my players to not turn the back to the ball. I told them to give the ball and run backwards to never lose the ball of they view. It makes the run turn into a half circle and puts the body in a good position to shoot.
hey matt was wondering if you could make a video about what your schedule was like in college. Training days, recovery days, lifting, etc. keep up the good work!
Lots of these videos bring back good gold ole memories specially training with wall & juggling, not only on the toes but on the outer & inner foot heels, body parts, moving the ball & moving with the ball as ☝️
Love that insight about the TikTok algorithm as well: you’re not seeing these videos because the tips will give you the best results. You’re seeing these videos because the *video* gets the most traction.
Matt not recognizing that the D1 Individual Session @ 10:51. This is the exact same training and drills he posted a couple of years ago. I think the video was 100 Individual drills you can do, it included control, passing, shooting, dribbling. Video changed my game, dont know why Matt took it off
Nice, I love how you approve your point using footages from the EPL😁, Like you said in football there's no just one right thing to do it depends on your position,place,ball movement and speed....etc and you have that bit of luck😅, so usually it's about doing what you see is right based on your experience, in real games all you have is a couple of secs to take decision and start to acr, and that's difference between pros and amateur players, taking the right decision in so little amount of time.
16 year soccer veteran, and now live across from soccer field. I see kids “training” standing around blasting shots into the goal for HOURS. I get 10x more touches in a 20 minute session. Also I recommend fitness kickboxing for coordination and VO2 max
This was a rather long 2 minute tuesday video. Lol That aside. There are some of these I definitely will need to incorporate in my training. Doesnt help that i train solo 9 times out of 10 when im not with my team. But i make the best with what i got
Love this video! As a coach, I find nothing more frustrating than the saturated TikTok market of football 'coaching' advice. On the flip side, there are some fantastic things out there.. but players are being exposed to far too many poor videos.
Difficult is exciting. Easy is boring but effective. This is what one of my coaches used to say. Even in the pros they all have a go-to move and they simplify their game. Kobe Bryant used to say, "to be unstoppable you must first be predictable." If you can't be predictable you yourself don't know what you're going to do next so how can you possibly dictate how you're going to take on the defense.

You got me definitely thought it was American and not Assoc. Either way good vid. I liked the one drill with the little hurdle because it's practicing two different first touches and getting better control. I think both of those moves translate to game play.
For the defensive drill at 16:18 I do think its not necessary, but it could help someone with some bravery aspect in trying to not be afraid of the goalpost. Otherwise I think it's just not too worth to invest time into a drill like that.
Hey Matt do u know a drill to be more direct basically where you get the ball under control and just drive forward to beat your defender. Would be helpful if you made a vid or done a two min Tuesday 😂 but in all honesty will appreciate it thanks Keep up the good work !!
The heading one is interesting because so many players can be great with their feet, or even their chests, but have poor technique in the air. Raising arms creating loose neck muscles, poor muscle tension, "looking" the ball into the goal by whipping the head around, attacking the ball at the highest point with static leaps and so on tends to create weak, poorly controlled headers. Sometimes they even score with them - but they aren't the right technique which is the objective.
man i would love to have a best friend who i can train football with. my "best friend" you could say only goes to the gym and i go with him but he doesnt like football and all my other friends have their own "one friend" to train with. like you know when you are in a friend group with 4 other people and they split up into 2,2 and your left alone and have to find a different person (thats me in football). im growing really tired of training myself like its so fun to train and play football with that one ride and die for friend and you both share the same interests and its actually fun to hang out with him unlike my "best friend" who i just dont share anything with and i dont like him anymore.
Hey Matty, hope your doing well. I have a couple of questions here please reply. So I'm a centre mid / full back and I never know what to do when I go to the pitch to practice do u have any ideas Also I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪 so there's a lack of football/ soccer here the main focus is gaelic football so there is no really opportunities to go pro so I also don't know what to do, by the way didn't mean to say go pro but there's no academies or anything like that just your local club.

Hey, become elite I am 11-12 and not sure if I should train or enjoy myself and just play and have fun with my friends.What should I do? (Your answer would mean a lot to me)🙏🙏

Toni Kroos intro killed me. You must have some British in you with the dry delivery :D :D
i wasn;t sure if he was joking or not at first lmao, cuz aint no way he said kroos doesn't know whats hes doing
I googled Toni Kroos and I guess Toni Kroos must at least have some basic understanding of football, or am I mistaken?
@@nickvleddertoni kroos is one of the beat midfielders of all time,his passing and accuracy are out of this world
@@nickvledderits satire

Congrats bro!
@@dhrv7585 thx💪🏼❤️
That’s amazing, I hope that you will keep on grinding and be even more successful in the future bro!🙏🏼🤩
Congratulations hope you get to play in Europe someday❤❤🎉🎉
Where do u play
Great idea and a great video !!!
Thank you for your comments about the “always” and “never” instructions…

im pretty sure he has in his older videos. dont quote me on it tho 😅

Love to see this type of content and to get lern from such an experience player as you is just great for me as a young football player 👏 ❤

Love the video idea! Would like to see more of you analyzing other players, drills, etc. to see your thought process
Great video! Thank you for reviewing my clip! I agree I should’ve been better with my wording there!
Make this a series🙌
Love the video Matt…good to hear what a legend has to say about football TikTok’s🔥🔥🔥
Really helpful. With so much youtube/tiktok videos pops up everyday, it is hard to tell which is really helpful and which is not.
16 year soccer veteran, and now live across from soccer field. I see kids “training” standing around blasting shots into the goal for HOURS. I get 10x more touches in a 20 minute session.
Also I recommend fitness kickboxing for coordination and VO2 max
Great video !
I do get the feeling you may have also played against Toni Kroos at some time, and it didn't go as well as you hoped 😜
Great info. I’ve been saving some of your videos for my own training- thank you for taking the time to make them
Definitely agree with you about this Tony Kroos guy.
Thank you for the video, first one I saw of the channel and will check out the others
This was a rather long 2 minute tuesday video. Lol
That aside. There are some of these I definitely will need to incorporate in my training. Doesnt help that i train solo 9 times out of 10 when im not with my team. But i make the best with what i got
Really like this, can you make it a series?
Love this! Please make more of these.
Finally someone did this. There are tons of instagram accounts saying nonsense about training
gen z is gonna have some of the best football players ever
Would like to see more vids like this!
This is a series you should do more of for sure
Wow, nice analysis👍
I was surprised to find my video in your review 😮
Make part 2 this type of videos is very good ❤️🔥🙏🏿
Love this video! As a coach, I find nothing more frustrating than the saturated TikTok market of football 'coaching' advice. On the flip side, there are some fantastic things out there.. but players are being exposed to far too many poor videos.
Lol the 2nd one really did have me geekin. Those moves were as easy as rocket science lol
Really enjoyed this video!
That boy Toni Kroos don't know a damn thing 👀👀 😭🫢😈😂😂
4:21 no way he said tony Kroos doesn’t have the experience. Bro do you know what team he plays for?😂
that's a joke for sure
Big boy JT Fitness on the first clip! Love it Matt!
Difficult is exciting. Easy is boring but effective.

This video was class🔥
Great Video, Matt!
Love this video!
Love those chasing drills.
So many players choke on shooting these days
Only just seen this, appreciate pulling me up!👏🏻
You got me definitely thought it was American and not Assoc. Either way good vid. I liked the one drill with the little hurdle because it's practicing two different first touches and getting better control. I think both of those moves translate to game play.

This is crazy helpful actually
This was very entertaining to watch
Nice video!❤
This vid is fantastic
Love this video
Michael from 7MLC has top notch football training content.
Easy and effective skills to learn: Body faint, step over, chop, cut, fake shot & pass.
Pre Match: VapoRub, Energy Gel, Electrolytes.
Part 2 would be awesome
Hey Matt do u know a drill to be more direct basically where you get the ball under control and just drive forward to beat your defender. Would be helpful if you made a vid or done a two min Tuesday 😂 but in all honesty will appreciate it thanks
Keep up the good work !!
Awesome stuff, Matt. North Carolina FC rejoining USL Championship next year. You'd love NC. Great to raise kids. Just sayin. . .
The heading one is interesting because so many players can be great with their feet, or even their chests, but have poor technique in the air. Raising arms creating loose neck muscles, poor muscle tension, "looking" the ball into the goal by whipping the head around, attacking the ball at the highest point with static leaps and so on tends to create weak, poorly controlled headers.

I love the explosive exercises
That Toni Kroos guy or whatever did not know what he was talking about 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏💯💯
more of this please
What's your personal opinion on the playermaker tracker for boots?
That Eintracht Frankfurt Goal❤️
I hope you will give us gym exercises to build up your straight and core.
Love you Matt❤
more of these!
Can you do a video on corner kicks and good runs to make in order to get chances
I saw somewhere that training on concrete hurts your performance is it true I train on gras 4 times a week and 2 times a week on concrete
Matt what do you think of North Carolina FC moving back up to the Championship
Hold up, did he just say that TONI KROOS DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE????
I think it's just a random person trying to be Toni Kross but isn't him
2:40 how to make the ball go up like that? She touches it on the side and it goes up. What is that skill/move called?
Let the ball roll to edge of your boots, and slightly lift up your fooy
man i would love to have a best friend who i can train football with. my "best friend" you could say only goes to the gym and i go with him but he doesnt like football and all my other friends have their own "one friend" to train with.
like you know when you are in a friend group with 4 other people and they split up into 2,2 and your left alone and have to find a different person (thats me in football). im growing really tired of training myself like its so fun to train and play football with that one ride and die for friend and you both share the same interests and its actually fun to hang out with him unlike my "best friend" who i just dont share anything with and i dont like him anymore.
"Toni Kroos doesn't know what he's talking about"? He's played 283 times for Real Madrid and 106 times for Germany!!
Sarcasm
Please do more videos on this
Also are your games on tv or any streaming website i would love to watch it live
espn + or sometimes local
Want drills in tight spaces and drible in pressure plz.
You know what you talking about. I like that.
Hi! do you know what app that is on the iPad to show number and colours?
Matt the goat 🐐
Hey Matty, hope your doing well.
I have a couple of questions here please reply.
So I'm a centre mid / full back and I never know what to do when I go to the pitch to practice do u have any ideas
Also I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪 so there's a lack of football/ soccer here the main focus is gaelic football so there is no really opportunities to go pro so I also don't know what to do, by the way didn't mean to say go pro but there's no academies or anything like that just your local club. Look thank you for ur time hope u reply❤
Bye
Please make a video about stretch after traning
7:13 What did the goalkeeper do, that he was sentenced to firing squad. Geeesh, I would jump out of the way, if that ball would come straight at me.
A bit unrelated to the vid, but do you use specific AG boots for playing on turf, or just the normal line FG boots?
Matt, can you do one episode about Messi coming to MSL and analyze his style of play and performance during the league cup run? Thanks
Make this a series
hey Matt, you ever thought of becoming a coach after your soccer career?
great idea matt. i haven’t seen anyone do this. And honestly your opinion i think has weight to it
Why did he say Kroos doesn't know what he's talking about or have the experience??
have you ever heard of sarcasm
Class video
These solo excercises are great, but young people watching this needs to know that football IQ is everything. Prioritize playing football with others above everything else.
Sir I have a request can you make tutorial on side volley
Hey, become elite I am 11-12 and not sure if I should train or enjoy myself and just play and have fun with my friends.What should I do?
(Your answer would mean a lot to me)🙏🙏
