Pro Footballer Reacts to Football Training TikToks

[@OJFootballX]

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!

[@BrainHax]

Love your content brother

[@zebra7578]

There's so much information it can get overwhelming, I'm speaking from experience

[@sirman18]

We should see a Collab between Matt and Oskar 🔥🔥

[@themountainside1]

Yo I love your channel

[@followhim.8543]

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. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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?

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!

[@BrianVang-y3d]

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.

[@tiggerk2392]

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

[@rodolfobernava6876]

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.

[@TheRipcity]

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.

[@mA_I.ohW_wonK.tnoD_uoY]

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. :>

[@ChrisShumate_Authorpreneur]

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.

[@lynngeorgesteyn28]

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

[@SPVLaboratories]

That setup is so clutch

[@JonerFootball]

great video mate!

[@EdwinKow]

Love the video idea! Would like to see more of you analyzing other players, drills, etc. to see your thought process

[@street1183]

Make this a series🙌

[@anthonynguyen9023]

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!

[@its_Justa]

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

[@Ahmed-Hajyahya]

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 👏 ❤

[@roOoDz]

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.

[@francoisvera2702]

Definitely agree with you about this Tony Kroos guy.

[@benclemens8370]

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

[@anthonylong9067]

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

[@JulianKountz]

Love the video Matt…good to hear what a legend has to say about football TikTok’s🔥🔥🔥

[@RickGladwin]

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.

[@CoachStefanoSoccer]

Great video! Thank you for reviewing my clip! I agree I should’ve been better with my wording there!

[@yanweijiang]

Really helpful. With so much youtube/tiktok videos pops up everyday, it is hard to tell which is really helpful and which is not.

[@aaronunroe5267]

Great info. I’ve been saving some of your videos for my own training- thank you for taking the time to make them

[@n8social409]

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.

[@harrypotterhustler7532]

[@abhi_nav21]

Finally someone did this. There are tons of instagram accounts saying nonsense about training

[@Carlos.PerlaRE]

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.

[@dgggffghhfvhfffjh9902]

This is a series you should do more of for sure

[@LiLAlbiHD]

This is crazy helpful actually

[@koncorde]

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.

[@CalebWuTV]

This video was class🔥

[@Masda.X]

Easy and effective skills to learn: Body faint, step over, chop, cut, fake shot & pass. Pre Match: VapoRub, Energy Gel, Electrolytes.

[@captain_lynn2179]

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.

[@TimHoffmann3107]

Part 2 would be awesome

[@ralliedcookies4403]

14:59 and 12:56 I will defo start doing those since I don’t have access to a field and I need trainings I can do within my neighborhood

[@greapsoho]

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.

[@ryand771]

Awesome stuff, Matt. North Carolina FC rejoining USL Championship next year. You'd love NC. Great to raise kids. Just sayin. . .

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 !!

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. Look thank you for ur time hope u reply❤ Bye
