Its Unique have you seen the 10,000 touches video????

[@MCFitnessPT]

Recently just subscribed to your channel as I’m looking to get back into football again. I’m a self-employed personal trainer so often struggle to find time to play due to losing out on a lot of business. However, watching your videos has really inspired me to just focus on what makes you happy. I’ve changed my training routine to focus of functional performance, rather than just building muscle. I’m loving my training and I’m improving each day, keep up the good work, love the channel.

[@BK-lp2sd]

the last exercise matt looked really funny when jumping:)

[@musal7203]

Hello. Rest time between sets? Rest period between movements? How much should? Thanks for the video.👏👏👏

[@agariopros1629]

Hey just a few question im going to do these excercises myself but for the first one you said 3-4 sets 5-8 reps for each leg, so does that mean like 5-8 times with the left and 5-8 with the right or 5 or 8 combined, and also how much should you rest between the sets? And with the fifth one its 4-6 reps but you are doing 3 jumps each time so does that mean 3 jumps, i go back and do that again for 4 times and then rest and then do that again for 4-5 times?

[@cryptophoenix3164]

Great exercises, thank you. Just one thing for an exercise to be called plyometrics u want to limit the aromatization phase as much as possible. The that transition from up and down , up and down need to be quick as possible for plyo. Example the skaters should be much quicker instead of pausing on the bottom.

[@tonylangeler3386]

You are totally right. And that's the reason i think the ecercises as he performs them for the goal he has: plyo's, is not correct and not good. As you are saying the exercises with its reps should be done as fast as possible, the ground time as less as possible. That means (almost) every exercise and the info he puts out is just incorrect... Its more focussed on explosiveness and power, rather than plyometrics.... This comment is not to burn or hate on a sports account, but just to spread awareness about the things that are being put on the internet, without any backing up from evidence or "sience based" (with reliable and valid articles) info.

[@tonylangeler3386]

So, in short, great excercises!! but for getting more explosive and indeed recruiting fast twitch fibers. Not for getting better at plyometric movements

[@maxz1287]

Can we get an essential ab workout plan/six pack plan for soccer (although I know it is not necessary for soccer)

[@haydenmann1644]

What are you’re thoughts on the games today. The Uruguay vs Egypt thriller, the own goal, and Ronaldo’s harry?

When do you practice plyometrics during season? Closer or far from game?

Nice bro 👍

Hey Matt huge fan love your videos and all the hard work you put in but do you think you should do these drills every training session or no

[@user-hs3oy6eq9s]

How many time we should do this exercise per week and if we do this at the same day can we should do other exercise with the ball

[@zaphster11]

Matt, have you considered playing in the Philippines???

Just in case you were running out of ideas for videos.... maybe you can go over your process of how you write your goals

[@belugawhale6539]

hmm pretty sure with more explosive power you can sprint faster. Agility with dribbling, probably not so much

[@nickymounkhaty5544]

SERIOUS QUESTION: just joined one of the top soccer teams in the nation and i joined recently and when I went to training they were preparing for nationals and their shit killed me. They had to run a mile under 6 mins 3 times, and I passed the first time but was like a minute late the last 2 times, I vape a lot but i decided to fully quit, I can tell that shit has an effect on my lungs and stamina, how do I regain my stamina and get my lungs back to normal cuz I want to go back and compete at a high level. Is it too late? I hate myself for doing that and I wanna play at a high level. Plz any answer helps.

[@calebwood1187]

Just start slow with ur running like 2 k in 6 mIns then go keep progressing till u get to where u want to get take small steps tho and don't give up

[@jarrydchen4507]

If I’m squatting 3x a week with increasing load (5x5) do I still need to do plyometrics?

[@NonstopProgress]

yes. Squatting won't help your explosiveness.

[@robertoquaresma3456]

What will this benefit in

[@mac2654]

These exercises are good to do but the title is misleading. The reason why is because these are not plyometric exercises, they are ballistic. The reason why they are ballistic and not plyometric is because the ground contact time is far too long to be considered a plyometric exercise. Therefore the key phase of plyometrics is missed out.
