Matt you should do a video just for fun where you do a tier list of the plays or highlights you’ve had during your years as a pro. It’ll be fun and educational as you can explain your thought processes and movements in each play and why you think each decision taken was good
Hey Ian, even though I am not Matt, I wanted to share some information on compression shorts with you: compression wear in general provide some great advantages. That is why almost all professionals wear them (atleast compression shorts) during all weather conditions. The main benefit of compression wear is that it keeps the muscles warm, which helps to prevent muscle strain and fatigue and thereby reduces the risk of injury.Compression wear can improve blood flow return and oxygenation to working muscles, reducing the time it takes for muscles to repair themselves, and speeds recovery from injury. It also helps relieve pain from muscle stiffness and soreness. Also, compression wear reduces muscle oscillation, which involves small tears in the muscle tissue along with a build-up of lactic acid. Reduction of muscle oscillation allows you to work harder and longer while minimizing pain. Now, those are generally differences that are so marginal that you won't feel them. Yet, I would take every % when it comes to injury prevention and performance benefits, no matter how small the gain. So yeah, you should definitely invest in some good compression wear (most importantly shorts)
@@NEWZ_EDITZ honestly, no. I do not know much of the topic. In my years of playing my shin pads never really had to "guard" my shin. Maybe I was just lucky, but also with teammates I do not recall an accident involving shins. However, what happens more frequently is that you get hit on your ankles. Maybe an ankle pad or protective tape is more needed than shin pads... but what do I know lol
I’ve always worn shin pads with the ankle support. These stupid little trading card size pads people wear are ridiculous. Leave the ankle completely unprotected, and just asking for a career ending injury imo 🤣
Great tier list but personally I would’ve put cones in the S tier just because it’s so beneficial. you can do over 1000 different drills with it, instead of buying other equipment like speed ladders or passing arcs you can just use cones to implement them. Love this video btw keep up the good work 💯
@@ThePhantomCoder That's not my point. My point is, if you compare having the same number of cones versus shoes, socks, or some other common item, the cones take up less space, and much easier to carry around. You may not need 50 cones, but most of the cheap disc cones come in a 20-pack, which is easily used up if you set up multiple drill areas at the same time. Carrying around 20 pairs of socks will take up much more space.
List is pretty much spot on 👏🏾. I remember growing up we use to use jumpers for goal posts, trainers as cones and even chalk drawing goals on walls. If you are not able to even afford cones, hurdlers and so on you can still improve and train well by being creative. Great vid Mr Sheldon 💪🏾
This was super helpful. I am a recreational soccer coach and my daughter plays U14. She aspires to higher levels and wants to go into club soccer next season. She and I end up doing a lot of practice in between the just two practices per week, so we try to figure out what works best, given it is just her and me. She is a striker. We are fortunate to have a nearby park with a rather large soccer goal that never gets used. One of the things that is most helpful is a net rebounder. She kicks the ball into the rebounder and I rush her as the ball is coming back to her. She has to decide how best to control the ball, get around me, and score. One of the best drills she and I do with just a ball is a two touch juggle back and forth to each other. The other "equipment" that we find most useful is to just have a bunch of soccer balls so that she can practice repeated kicks without retrieving the ball each time.
Played at the club level, used a lot of training equipment in team practices. But overall I preferred a minimalistic approach to training paraphernalia. All I want is a ball, a field, and a goal. And I'll get to work.
Matt, having used all kinds of cones, I’ve found that the flat, white leather 9” ones are the best both from an organisational point and storage point as being flat and flexible means players are not impeded if they accidentally fall on them. As for poles, I’ve always put old training tops tied to the tops to replicate real players or if I haven’t poles, I’ve actually used players to act as impassive ‘defenders’ . These help players to recognise real match problems in training. The BIG problem with cones is that most coaches use them in ‘drills’ but then don’t remove them and repeat the drill which then translates into match play. I’ve also used tape tied to two poles when playing Head/Volley Tennis as you can adjust the height of the net
Feels like you always drop the video I’m looking for when I need it 🤯 at 10:00 video on how you use the massage gun after training? I have one too but I never really feel like I’m using it right lol and good luck this Friday ❤️
came back to this vid and ended up buying hurdles for my setup... love having them at home. also double up as a great training and exercise tool for my dog. its a win win. thanks Matt
Nice list. But I personally would put the ladder higher in the tier list considering what made it to the upper tiers. I found it helps a lot with mind muscle co-ordination, physical conditioning and movement essential to prepping touch, close quarter footwork and skills required to get out of tight spaces. The higher intensity you perform the drills, the better you will be. Largely beneffited my indoor game let alone outdoor where you have more space and time.
We use the waist rebounders at our club for juggling practice, and independent practice at home, especially in the winter when you need to be practicing inside. Saves all sorts of lamps windows etc. This is for under 15 and below.
I love when I am learning about a soccer related topic or skill and I find one of Matt’s videos. I trust his opinion and it’s nice not having to go through 10 different videos trying to figure out what is correct and what’s not.
Good start to list. Few items could go in different categories but opinion based I understand. Other items.. stem, cupping, grasten tool, Ball and wall of some type is spot on ( log u used , 3 sided wall, ) kids lack creativity in seeing this around them. Love following your journey.
Nice video. I agree with most but I would put kickbacks (wall) at the top. It has and continues to be the number one tool, not only for me, but for my player training sessions. Also, for sure the ball. Match balls all day every day.
If you make a part 2, here's some equipment you can add to the list: tennis ball/mini balls, grip socks, training bibs, soccer tennis table, shin guard stays, compression shorts/pants, ball pumps, and weight vests. Great video!
For your next 2 minute tuesday, you should teach us how you make your coffee in the morning. Was your cofee on the last video a Macchiato? I enever manage to pull that one off.
When I lived in Greenville South Carolina, I joined a sports club that had wood panel walls in the gymnasium. It was a great workout and unbelievably fun.
Matt, I'm a big fan of your work, it's a blessing for young (and not only) ballers to have you in this 98% YT shitty contents. Wish you an amazing season with Tulsa, peace!
I dont recommend the portable wall type things because a bumpy wall will force you to pay more attention to how you pass the ball while a flat board will just perfectly bounce back the ball. Only use this if you don’t have a more bumpy or unpredictable wall to practice on, or need a portable wall to play with at your field.
@Become Elite : The bungee attached to the ball ads a level of difficulty though. If you kick a balla against a wall, it will never come faster than you shot it... So control is easier... On the other hand with the bungee the elastic will reach its peak point, and then return with great force/speed... This will be better to control passes with great force.
I mainly disagree with the agility poles because you can use them in a ton of different ways, more soccer specific then just speed and agility. I use them for grids, for midfield stuff cause I’m a midfielder, as a mannequin, obstaclesin 1 v 1’s or even a guide to know where to shoot so I think if you think about it like that it has a bunch of uses and can be an incredibly useful tool, I would have put it in the c tier at least but I get where you’re coming from and respect your opinion. I could also see the blaze pods being 1-2 tiers higher as well
Basically the tiers for this are: S= absolute essential, no question A= you need to have at least one of these in a training session, or a goal/wall B= excellent tools, have decently broad application, are a great addition to your equipment and are very affordable C= either somewhat useful, or just flat out expensive but are very very nice to have D= decently expensive and very specific, or just very mediocre E= very gimmicky, much better options available at little to no cost F= actively harmful to use
Hey Matt, what if you started a new series where every week, or when you have spare time, you made a video discussing a topic that is trending that week ? I’d think it be cool to see your pov on any football topic or any topic in general. Hope to see it if you like the idea
Hi, thank You for the video. I want to add something about altitude training mask. If you hear Prof.Buteyko Breathing Method, you know how critical is body CO2 carbondioxide. Altitude training mask actually aims CO2 tolerance. Making exercise harder and decrease workout itself is actually not the aim. Cell/tissue oxygenation is critical but key player/unlocker is CO2. Without CO2, more O2 is just wastage, it will transit in blood without passing to cells/tissues and make muscles/organs cells crave for Oxygen. Abnormal CO2 threshold is normal in the modern days. If you train restriction about air intake/out, first your primary workouts will be less effective. If you can be patient enough, and stick to get tolerance to increased level of CO2 due to restricting the holes of input (training mask is just one of the tools, you can use your fingers to reduce your nose holes, you can use paper/plastic bags with some holes you open etc), you will soon boost your extraction of O2 from blood to your tissues (Verigo-Bohr Effect for search), your performance will be in another level due to You will unlock a new feature of Your body. This is the secret of a training mask or similar restricting device. Maybe due to popularity you heard Oxygen Advantage (root is Buteyko Breathing, OA is like re-packining for me it seems) and you see they will manipulate their breath (CO2) to gain performance for their games professionally. You can search detailed explanation Arthour Rahkimov website youtube channel for training mask. I highly recommend most recent most advanced new device ayo bt+ boost from aimwellbreathing company. Unlike mask, it is electronic mask, restricter in many levels, it can record/graph all in/out each breath with numbers so you dont need to assume CO2 exercise, it is like dashboard in a car. Hope you will go inside of your body and find the golden mind inside which is CO2, your body is producing these goldens but the problem we are not holding inside! Have a nice day. Regards from Turkey.
I'm old. I'm 51. I don't play anymore. But i was a striker back in the day. I'd put the finishing nets at A tier. But mostly as an old striker when i watch players, especially American players historically, the purely great (and i mean great by any global professional standard) finishers and shooters are few and far between. We spent way to much time finishing on tiny goals, between two shirts. I felt little goals didn't help people finish in match situation. I thought you needed to get used to seeing the frame, the keeper and an angle to the corner so you get used to the mental picture. And I've always felt, they needed to be shooting at something like a finishing net. I'm talking American attackers at every level. Even if it was a blanket draped over the middle which is what i did back in the day. 1000% agree on walls. I learned to shoot with both feet largely because a rival high school had a giant wall two story wall i could fire balls it until i grooved my off foot.
Great video, it’s little things like this that can push you ahead of others that are training just as hard, subscribed too👌🏻 which football clubs have you played for?
Good list. Would only disagree with the SKLZ solo trainer. There’s nothing better for mastering air-trapping for U16 and below. I would have added the sled. Not sure why it’s not used as much for soccer but great for building acceleration and transition speed.
Hey Matt, can you please make a video about how to treat injury’s since you said ice and the rice method isn’t the best way, then what should we do, what’s the best way in ur opinion.
I have 50 pounds of weight vests and a belt. They can make you stronger, which can certainly make you faster, but running hills unweighted are much better. If you are limited on space, do jump lunges or Bulgarian split squats.
Hey Matt, what are your thoughts on the new USL 1 league? What are your goals with a whole new league being brought to America? Thank you! Love the Vids!
