Individual Crossing Session | Offseason Ep. 10

[@kaursfootball]

Gonna be honest, it's nice to see you make mistakes. It's so easy on yt and social media to see people do drills 'perfectly' over and over and feel like you're the only one that's messing things up. So to see you, as a pro mess it up once in a while is kind of a motivation and reminder that not all reps will be perfect but the aim is to strive to be as close to perfection as possible. ❤❤

Seeing your flaws and weak spots and how you approach them makes me feel so much more comfortable in my boots, yknow? Thank you, Matt!

[@ELSI1106]

Hey Matt! It's great how far you've made it. I came across you here by chance. Warm greetings from Germany. your former teammate from Kinzenbach, Elvis Z. 😉💪🏻⚽️🔥

Q&A: What's the biggest game in your carrer ? The game will have the most important glow up of your carrer ? Thanks you for every episode , every day you post my day feels better !

Only me loving the rain? I think its so mentally calming❤ Great vid matt

[@nbayern7000]

Always used to love the rain when training

I LOVE individual sessions. I might be alone on this but I love the fact I can focus on my weaknesses that much more. Then when I come back and play with people, I surprise myself because I improved. 😂 However, the key is to plan in advance so you’re not just going through the motions.

We are from London. My son following you from 5 years. Really motivating

[@r7baller7]

Thanks for answering my question Matt, really appreciate it I’ll implement that within my workouts, keep up the great work 💪🏻

[@ewanabdelaal9814]

Hey Matt, I just wanna say thanks so much for your content in general. Training with you would be amazing and I feel that you carry on your college team. ❤ from Egypt

[@hamidbabaali10]

The fake shot drill is so crucial. People fall for the fake shot so much. If you can add that to your muscle memory Matt, you’ll be unstoppable. You’ll get in every defender’s head

[@mojeslunce256]

Did he show in the video the fake shot? What minute specifically I cannot find it. Thanks a lot!

[@hamidbabaali10]

@@mojeslunce25612:07 he calls it a fake cross, but it’s the same movement as a fake shot

[@nbayern7000]

That's true, they have to somewhat fall for it if it's a clear chance or they haven't seen you play

[@zachcouch1987]

Fantastic idea to focus on crossing.

[@shantiescovedo4361]

I would argue that your answer was about the difference between athleticism and hypertrophy but not soccer specific movements, or rather, lateral and explosive movement sports. I don’t think many athletes do full workouts specific only to their sport, but the truly unique aspect of soccer is the impact on the quads and knees from kicking as well as the odd motion of turning the foot out to strike the ball, which leads to more impact on the groin. My favorite exercises for both of those muscle groups are the lift and twist types of exercises. The exercise Matt showed with the single arm clean and jerk is better for explosive motion, but the twist helps protect those muscles from injury by forcing the muscle to work at the extent of the range of motion.

[@soccerfreak404]

This is what we want to see👍

It's always nice to go back to Mama's house. Matt's fruit and food supplies are obviously better when he came back home.

[@glitchnl7]

16:54 to 19:30 Mat If possible could you next two minute Tuesday be on the best movements to do as a footballer because I have learnt a lot when it comes to the technical aspect but as I am now getting to the stage in my career where I need to think about gaining muscle for the sport, I don't know where to start

[@davidwelsch3596]

Great content! In the wall opening up hips passing drill It is interesting watching your plant foot. When you open up with your right (trap with right) your (left) plant foot is facing where the ball came from. While when you open up with your left (trap with your left) your (right) plant foot is facing where you are about to pass. Does this indicate that your left hip is less able to open up? Is the left hip less flexible? It seems like the first way may be more deceptive to defenders, but harder to make a good pass. Maybe none of this matters? I work on diamond and square pass a lot with younger players and I I’m trying to figure out how to help them with body shape. Thanks again for all of the great content!

Q/A: Do u think the college route is good to go pro and what route did u take from college football. I’m 20 years old from Ireland and it’s something I wish I may have looked into as soon as I left school. I see that it’s a good professional setting over there but setbacks such as an acl year stopped me the last year. How was your experience and would u recommend atleast trying at 20 as I feel I don’t want to miss out while I’m young.

[@Minnigolf]

Love your content, Matt! I play rec league, would love to hear your thoughts/tips for someone who has a 9-5 but plays soccer for fun 😊

[@berglundarsenal3321]

Hello, I have bought your speed program. I wonder if a session is ment to take over one and a half hour to complete. When I have done the workouts they have been very long and I have lost focus. Thank you for your answer on forehand. /Aron

[@taramu8670]

Hi there, coming from different country. Just wondering, do you have to book ground or is this a ground for public where you literally can play without booking? With those walls , makes me wanna kick the ball already!

[@hamidbabaali10]

These ones he goes to are public

[@nickmunoz7940]

[@sazdogjorgiev]

Qualityyyyyy

[@sidikitraore7746]

how did it feel transitioning from a striker to right back / what have you learned from changing positions?

[@nbayern7000]

That you can't score at right back much

[@Alexispapaconst-05]

For the Q&A: At what point should you admit that quitting the dream of becoming a pro footballer is the best option? Instead of training and waisting time…

[@hamidbabaali10]

If you’re already thinking that way consistently, then you have your answer honestly

[@user-ahmedb2023]

There is many examples of players who made there success in late ages like after 27 so if you're just complaining about your age it's not an excuse, but if you doubt in your abilities then you have to quit immediately.

[@hamidbabaali10]

@@user-ahmedb2023 I agree! It’s about having faith in yourself, and learning what is required to become a pro. Become elite’s channel is a great resource to learn, as well as mine.

[@shantiescovedo4361]

I love Matt’s podcast series where he interviews other pro players. He asks them this question and most reply that they never even considered quitting. The implication is that when you start thinking of quitting, then you are already most of the way towards quitting.

[@hamidbabaali10]

@@shantiescovedo4361 honestly most of those guys have thought about quitting. But they power through it and that’s when they find success.
