I'm pretty sure in the 1920s a lot of the reason of why they kicked the ball weirdly was also because of what the ball was made out of, because it was more hard and heavy.

Love this! The player heading the ball at 6:46 and later seen having his leg wrapped was the first superstar of English sport: Denis Compton. He was a legendary cricketer - one of the greatest to play for England - and he played for Arsenal and England at football in the winter.

So happy to see you got merch now, been waiting!!

knickerbockers and dress shoes for the game and a pint for recovery

Absolutely class video!!

[@yesyesrichyboy]

Really good video. Each decade showing a clear improvement on skill, athleticism and technique. There was a TV show comparing the 2006 FA Cup final with one 50 years before. I wish I could find it now, because the differences were so big.

Love the idea of this video! I think what really revolutionised football though was the Brazilian style of play from the 50’s to the 80’s. They were far ahead of their time. It would have been cool to analyse them if possible

[@kmqmcse]

Great video Matt. Interesting to see how the playing surface quality and evolution to possession/rondos changed the game so much around the 90s.

[@erikmorales17]

It’s cool to see how far the sport has come

Could you please do a video on Prehab and Activation Exercises ? ☺️ Great Content as always

Football is definitely changing for the better but the goats will be missed

*awesome* video, boss

[@shantiescovedo4361]

Jumping rope is under appreciated. It helps the connective tissues in your feet get stronger, which allow you to store and release energy more efficiently without burning as many calories. There are other ways to build that strength as well, but if you like jumping rope, it should not be overlooked.

Good idea for a vid matt

The ball was a lot heavier in the earlier days

I wonder what football will be like in 100 Years

To be fair the 60s one was a 3rd division team

[@mikemetheny1086]

Hey Matt, I was looking through your programs. I bought 3x3 for my son a few years back and it's amazing. As a freshman, he's the most skilled player on his varsity team and it isn't even close. He's gonna do some partner training over the summer with a handful of teammates and we're wondering if any of your programs have partner/small group drills included?

[@BecomeElite]

That’s absolutely amazing! So happy that your son has improved so much from the program. The “Offseason Program” has some partner training sessions, but unfortunately none of my programs have sessions for small groups. That might have to be the next program I make!

I wonder how brazilians evolve throughout the century. May be brazilians were better in technique in fifties than England .

[@hotya1681]

Not sure where your clips are from but I just watched some actual games from 1950 not bad at all Try kicking a heavy hard soccer ball with those old round top shoes that kicking technique might be the best for accuracy those guys mastered the best technique and play speed for the gear ball and pitch they had available better gear has evolved the game allowing a different style of play and technique

Hey Matt Im fletcher from the river hounds game. Good luck with getting back to winning after we ended your undefeated streak.

Yet there is more injuries now with more "science"

[@muhammedkeremovet2255]

That's not the issue. The game's overall pace and intensity has increased immensely. The amount of games that players also have to play nowadays is outright ridiculous. Especially in England. Imagine if these changes happened without the development in science. There would be significantly more injured players than fit ones.

@@mn4venom334 Exactly what @scryptic3233 said. Your muscles get fatigued. If you don't get enough rest, you then may have to play with fatigued muscles, which is a recipe for an injury.
