I’m on day 1 of my journey. I’m 13 and I want to become a better soccer player. I’m not the best on my team, far from it. I want to maintain this routine: 30 minute jog, 30-45 minute workout in the morning. Then at 4 pm I want to practice soccer for 3 hours. So this routine will be done the days I don’t have team training and the days I do, my routine will be tweaked. The hardest part is motivation. It’s only day one, but today I learned take it day by day. This is my journey to the pros. P.S my stamina isn’t the best so that’s why I want to jog and do things like that. Everyone else believe in yourself. Take it Day by day

I feel like building connections as a footballer is very important to open new doors, even as a D1 athlete, building connections help!! It’s helped me get where I am today. Agents can be hard to get and work with and I agree when you say they’re misconceptions because there is bad and good connections you need to be careful who you build connections with! At the end of the day a player should always help another player, we all want the same dream at that level! Great Content Matt! A good listen for young Athletes!

Just keep doing the right things and people will have good things to say about you! Great informative Video Matt!

So glad you made a video about this! It’s so critical to success in soccer but also life overall! When I went to a D3 school I thought there wouldn’t be that many connections, but our own Athletic Trainer was a head trainer for the SAFC academy, which is in the USL Championship, and my head coach played with Zac Lublin, the starting goalie at Phoenix Rising which is a USL Championship team 40 min from my house. You never know who knows who, so branch out and ask questions!

Using connections is much more of an American route thing. I went through the academy system in England and went to college in America also. In England, and Europe, if you're good people will come to you. No where in England can you email a head coach or a teammate to get you a trial like you can in America. Americans are to focused on connections. Simply, if you perform wherever you are, you will get noticed.
