Probably my most honest video yet. I think it’s incredibly important to be fully honest with yourself and your flaws, but that’s the only way that you’ll ever be able to correct them and grow even stronger.
Hey Oscar! Not sure if you remember me but last year I used to comment on each and every single one of your videos whenever you’d post them as I really wanted to become a professional footballer. My juggling record then was around 117-134 but I kept practicing and three months ago i finally made it to 290. I was getting better at football and felt as if it was too easy for me which was a huge mistake and so once summer break came around I was at home relaxing spending time with family or playing video games. That was a huge mistake. I hadn’t been outside playing football for a WHOLE month since summer break but i decided to play football again last week. My juggling got a lot worse. I could only do three the first 10 times i tried to juggle. I almost cried as I would always average at least 110 or more every time. I slowly made it to 20 and then 50, 60, 70, 100 and then 150 but I wasn’t so consistent anymore. I had lost my skills as well as I play as a skillful winger (my friends would compare me to Neymar) and I saw that i didn’t have them anymore + my skills and showboating is what im known for. I started deciding to watch football again. I stopped scrolling for hours on tiktok watching football edits and funny videos and instead searched football tutorials again and player skills on UA-cam instagram and tiktok. I could do around the worlds effortlessly then but now it takes me 5 tries or more. I have a school football tournament in two months and if I am so behind then where are my friends in their journey? I used to be better than most but I started overthinking that maybe my friends had surpassed me in playing football. I really don’t know what I can or will do in order to go back to my previous state in football or maybe even better as I have downgraded a lot. Do you know what I can do to become as good as I was before? 🙏🏾
I understand your situation and I think the biggest thing you should consider is to not be so hard on yourself. A month off in the context of a long career is nothing and you need to zoom out and try to see that. I can promise as long as you get yourself out on the field again, your skills WILL return and get even better. It’s just about getting yourself out there again.
It doesn't matter what happens in the past, it matters how you react to it. It might seem like you are not progressing or you are progressing very slowly but progress is progress, consistency is the key and just continue to train and you will be better than you were ever before. You need to believe and have passion. But only if you practice and stop using brainrot stuff like TikTok and youtube shorts.
Crazy to think at times you feel as if you’re the only one who’s angry after a match, for years and then just out of nowhere you appreciate the matches more and more regardless of the outcome
Honestly, your videos are beautiful, it's clear that you put a lot of effort into them and that (I hope) they help me have a decent career. I hope your channel reaches at least 50,000 Subscribers within the end of the year
I just wanted to send you some encouragement. Your content is amazing, and it's clear you put a lot of hard work into it. Remember this quote: "The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow." 💪 Keep going, even when it gets tough. Your efforts are truly appreciated! 🙌
Nice vid as usual! Most of these all are things I can relate to that I struggle with, so I’ll make sure to keep these in mind. I’m just getting off a minor injury so I know my technical ability will be quite poor for the week to come. I’ll focus extra on fixing these areas, since these are all things that would help me improve. I’ve always had confidence issues that ruin my performance in games and make me one of the worst players on the pitch. I can especially notice this when playing small sided games with friends and other people that are better than me, and yet I always play as the best person there. Yet in full games something in my brain just turns off. I play way too safe and hesitate completely, then I beat myself up after the game. The season is starting soon for me and I still have improved greatly over the summer so I’ll work on these tips to completely fix my game. Thank you so much for the great vid and I hope u have a blessed day 💪
I made the exact mistakes when I was younger what made me quit football wich I still regret alot. I’m now 3 years back in football and since 2024 I wanted to be a better version of myself so I did research on how and this was actually rlly important now I play on some high division luckily. For everyone don’t give up
Now I am focusing mainly one akill for a month, somedays the training might be worse than yesterday. It lowers my confidence . And somedays i am afraid to do the drills that i am doing consistently because of these. These mindset is preventing from doing training. I know i want to focus on process rather than focusing more on growth .
You said it yourself, try to switch your focus onto the process and don’t obsess over constant growth. I can tell you, from all the years I’ve been playing it will always go up and down, sometimes you may not feel like you’re making any progress for several months, and sometimes you feel like you improve massively with every training session. It’s important to understand that growth is not linear and will go straight up. It’s a curvy path that will eventually go upwards as you keep putting in the work
The Swedish Goat Back It Again, Im So Thankful I have All of These UA-camrs To Help Me Achive My Dreams Of One Day Playing Pro Football, Thank You Oskar Jansson.
Hey sir, I'm someone who's just coming back from an injury that has taken months to heal, before my injury last September I was already training to play small local tournaments with my friends, however, I ended up injured, this happened when my relation with football was something that was starting as someone who never wanted to play in his teenage year. This is why I wanted to ask if you have any guide or advice for a complete beginner to introduce himself to football and get really good at it, what would you do to start to understand the game really well, how would you pick drills to get solid foundations...etc Thank you sooo much in case you read this!🤠
Yes, I think it’s more common than people think but as soon as we realize that we’re actually in that mindset, then is when we can start to change and learn how to use it to our advantage 🙌🏼
Hey oskar i need help.. im always watching videos of "how to choose a position" and ive been playing this sport for now5 years .. the thing is Im usually a striker and i even got recognized. But the thing is i don't enjoy the striker position. I love dribbling but i dont just wanna score goals. I wanna get oassed players and xreate chances for myself and the team.. but im not so good on the wing.. should i play by my strengths or passion?
Dang, bro you're really honest and wise. Your advice is so good. Please don't feel discouraged or down(or I should say try not to) because what your doing is setting up the future of young ballers who are serious about this. Thank you for your advice. This might sound weird lol, but you seem really cool and I'd want to meet you or chat with you if possible but thanks for the vid bro 🫶🏿
My dream is to become a pro footbaler but at 13 years old I play in my local team in Poland. My teammates don't take the game as serious as I do and I feel that my progres is slower and slower. I don't know what I'm suposed to do to ipmrove. Any advice?
Try and find a higher level to play at by going on clubs websites and asking for trials. Thats what I did and now i play 1 year up with a premier league club in their pre academy. You never truly realise how good you are until you play with players at a high level. A great benefit of this also is that you feel yourself improving after each session because the players are just so good that you are forced to play well.
Same here just go to as many trials as you can to get to a better club. Do individual training to get better technically and game analysis for tactics. Good luck 👍
Hey Oskar, I hope you are doing absolutely good!! I'm 21 years old trying to make it pro in India. The leagues are also coming up as well. Trials are there but it's mainly for up to 17-18 years old. And currently I'm going to the gym and training to build a good physique mainly in my upper body. I am thinking of making my lower body agile again. I lack the speed but I can work on it. I have been not playing football for a while 3-4 months and looks like my heart does want to get back on the saddle. But I can only put myself into training not more than 30-40 minutes a day since I'm spending a lot in the gym. And I can't train football technicals everyday. I know by now, how football works to an extend but may not have the same technical abilities of a youngster in India. But surely I can play with my intelligence. Looking for open trials. I don't know if I can make, there's always a way put some efforts when I think 1 more time. And I want to do it one more time. I have only the experience at an amateur level till now. Just one trial attempt. Can't seem to find. I'm also looking for some backup in film industry if football doesn't work. Do you still think I have a chance though low?
That is more common than you might think and I used to be the biggest overthinker as well when playing. I think the solution is first to be comfortable in your own skills and know that you’re able to do what you want because then it just becomes a matter of what’s going on in our mind. What solved the problem for me was to approach the game in a more relaxed way instead of thinking that every game was the end of the world. It made me play more relaxed and closer to my full potential.
I cant find a place to train on , and i dont have a lot of money to train in a stadium 😢😢 and in my place in my country is hard to find an academy i am 11 years old and i am not sure if i can tell my dad to sing me with a club or academy 😢 and i have school i cant miss any day for academy what should i do ??😢?
I always wanted to be a pro i started playing football late when i was 10 and i am 14 now but main problem is that i live in nepal where there is no pro league i want to improve but there is not even local teamss and im moving to spain at the age of 17 soo what should i do??
Oskar I dont know whether you will ever read this comment, but i hope and pray it reaches to you. I think the reason as to why you went though this was because God wanted to bring you here, IDK if that makes sense or if you are religious at all, i just want to say that God, Jesus, He will help you, and he will help all the people reading this comment learn and improve from the similar and their own unique mistakes as long as you have faith in them. We as humans are imperfect, we wont always exceed and be successful even at the pro level. But the one Who can help us reach our goals, our dreams is God. Jesus christ loves and he will not let you fail because he loves you. Come to him if you have not already, and if u are, deepen your relationship with him, and believe that he knows, he knows. Come to him and he will help you with every single problem in yourlife. Not only as a footballer, not only as an athlete, but as a person. Dont take for granted this opportunity he has given you. Keep working hard and remember that the past is the past, all of outhere learn and keep going. Amen ❤

As long as you’re working hard you should be back to your old self. Keep your head up
Work on doing the simple things really well, back to the basics. One day at a time, go easy on yourself.
I understand your situation and I think the biggest thing you should consider is to not be so hard on yourself. A month off in the context of a long career is nothing and you need to zoom out and try to see that. I can promise as long as you get yourself out on the field again, your skills WILL return and get even better. It’s just about getting yourself out there again.
Bro relax have fun focus on the basic fundamentals and I’m sure will be better just enjoy and work on the basics and your mind

I have a massive video coming out later in August that will hopefully answer all questions you might have here, so stay tuned for that!

Sir make a video on how to train your mind as a footballer ⚽
Hey Oskar, just a question: How do I maintain a balance between having a game mindset in a game and having fun so as to not be too stressed?
I want some drills for training my mind
Hey oskar i need help.. im always watching videos of "how to choose a position" and ive been playing this sport for now5 years .. the thing is Im usually a striker and i even got recognized.

Oskar is it a deadly weapon to long throw ins? im currently practicing how to long throw but im having trouble with the run up and distance any tips?
Dang, bro you're really honest and wise. Your advice is so good. Please don't feel discouraged or down(or I should say try not to) because what your doing is setting up the future of young ballers who are serious about this. Thank you for your advice.

Do individual training, join a Academy at 15-16 when you'll become mentially and individually fit.
Same here

You never truly realise how good you are until you play with players at a high level.

I wanna become a professional player, but I live in Africa
All I'll say is don't give up, many great player have been from aftrica and similar places, just use it as an opportunity to stand out. Don't give up.
Don’t give up if it can be done you can do it
Dont give up, remember george weah, Jay Jay Okocha, and many more. Take them as inspiration.
Don’t give up, you’ll get there. Enjoy the journey
You're lucky,I'm from India
