Makes no sense that they didn't wanna resign you. You were great last season. Hope you'll find a great team Matt!

[@youngl7784]

Maybe it’s just for the budget concern. They want save some salary and practice more rookies next year rather than a mature captain. 😅😅 they already at the bottom of the table so won’t be worse😂😂😂😂

Because they only keep a few players, and they get new players every year. And unfortunately, he probably didn’t perform to their standards.

Matt, I think I speak for everyone in saying your transparency is honored. Hopefully, you find those little pockets of solace in , what can be, the chaos of the off-season. All around, such an exciting time for you. I'm going to sell insurance today .... you GET to go through these things BECAUSE of all the correct things you've done in life....all of the victories.....because of who you are, the player you are....the PROFESSIONAL you are. As you have stated, "that's the life" of a footballer , sometimes. If I may, dont ever come close to losing the perspective that YOURE STILL THAT GUY, and living a dream SO MANY of us would love. Walk into your blessing, Matt ... it's already been prepared for you homie. 💥💥🙏

[@BrainHax]

Continuous Q n A When I see your practice sessions, things are going almost perfect, I don't see alot of mistakes in touches and technique But I practice with my teammates/friends, there are tons of mistakes happening So should we continue with those mistake or reduce the difficulty of the drill??

[@shantiescovedo4361]

This is an excellent question

[@Michael-cb5nm]

It’s training, so you don’t want to ingrain bad habits through constant mistakes. Reduce difficulty and then ratchet it up as you get better…that way you know you are making progress.

[@youtube_viewer6160]

Hey, I know you’re asking Matt here, but I’ll give you my opinion if you care for it. I think you should do both. So, instead of 100% of your drills being the ones difficult for group, make that only 30% of your drills. As for the other 70%, reduce the difficulty. As your groups ability increases, gradually increase the 30% - 50% and so on

[@tannermichelson7286]

Matt I'll be rooting for you to find another contract! You are an inspiration lad

[@FadiHenryy]

Really hope Brayden gets back to 100% and can find a decent team. Played with him at club level and such a cool guy who always wants to improve and it makes you play better being around him.

[@braydenjenkins5647]

I appreciate that bro, hope things are well with you!

[@Sophiahime]

Hey Matt, I just want to say thanks for your videos. I play recreational soccer and your videos have truly helped me improve as a player. However, I just wanted to say, as a mother of 3, I know right now is so stressful because you guys don't know where you'll be when baby comes. But, a newborn just needs a place to sleep, eat and be changed. Sleeping is as easy as a travel crib or a bassinet that can be anywhere in the house that's quiet. Eating is easy, a nice armchair for both bottle feeding or breastfeeding is nice (though if Mimi decides to breastfeed, please let her know the chair is best that she can sit in it with her back against the back of the chair, and her feet on the floor for her comfort). And while a changing table is very nice, the floor with a changing pad and a diaper caddy can work. Baby doesn't need much space until she is rolling over at about 4 months, so you guys have plenty of time to figure out the living situation (and honestly, staying in Charleston may be the best option so she can keep her OB). I know Mimi is probably getting that nesting instinct pretty badly right now, but you guys will be okay. ^_^

[@jammanstud]

Matt and Mimi come to Phoenix period. Rising nation needs ya. Big love to the cats.

Wow, Matt, thx for sharing the impact on the personal side, especially on the situation and plan for the baby. I truely appreciate the postive attitude you are still bringing in at difficult times. You are an aspiring role model for us --- on and OFF pitch. It has been stressful season for me, but your first 7 mins of video already lightened up my mood ! Best wishes to the baby and to you on the new season!!!

[@footballfirst7512]

I understand your frustration. But let's hope for the best right 👍

[@erik9721]

Sorry matt you’re a big inspiration and hope you can get thru this, rough timing too with the baby

[@omarkabalan2792]

Heyy Matt, As I soccer coach, I enjoy watching your videos a lot and often refer them to my players. Keep up the good work 💪🏽 I love these small sessions and I think they are great. Just one tip: you guys often do finishing work but it is always after a passing pattern and rarely under pressure, with opposition, and in a game context. I think adding some 3v3s + gks with big nets (to promote finishing) or some type of drill that involved active playing, decision making, teammates, and under opposition, would make these finishing more realistic and beneficial. I strongly recommend you to try it. Once again keep up the good work and good luck with finding a team 💪🏽💪🏽

[@augustusladue7119]

Wish the best for you Matt! Hope you get to come out here to sac would love to watch you on a regular basis!

[@jb10undefeated]

I saw the list yesterday. Matt I am sure God will help you. I would consider reaching out to Big clubs like Real, Barca or Bayern. Always dream Big, Never limit yourself

[@Michael-cb5nm]

If he never found another team, you’d still say that it was all in God’s plan. So basically, any outcome whatsoever, no matter how awful, is consistent with “God’s plan”. Which makes the whole concept a bit meaningless.

Personally I think you have the skill set to make it to the next level and play in the MLS. With the new style of play emphasis is based on the wing backs. You have the speed and skill to be either a starting RB or add to a teams depth.

[@magamaga1827]

Sorry to hear this, Matt, but as you say it's just part of the biz. Clearly you weren't part of the problem the team had...but if they don't think you're part of the solution, screw em! You'll catch on somewhere. But I have to say, I do wonder if players your age (a little older) with kids (or kids coming) start to think more about life after playing - because as you see, it's not just about you anymore. Life happens. I'd love to see you get a big time college coaching job someday because I think you'd be great with teaching kids that age and skill level and helping them move on. And you prob could make decent money. But you eventually have to start down that path sooner or later. I think of Coach Dave Masur at St. Johns in NY. He took over the program at around your age (maybe 27/28) - which to me seemed "old" at that time..lol...but after his playing career sort of prob hit its ceiling (no MLS back then), he carved out a great career as a big time D1 coach all these years later and I'm sure does well financially.
