Matt I’m a S&C coach who works with footballers I’ve been following you for a while now and I gotta say that is some solid insight for what a footballer should focus on. Coming from you, a pro footballer, your words will echo much further in the footballing community. Keep doing your thing and crush this season 👊🏼⚽️ Coach Abe

Awesome video, great advice for gym training.

Keep up the great work Matt!

Great video!!!! Could you make a quick video on hip flexors? Such a important muscle, which seems to be overlooked on youtube, but you can clearly see nearly every professional football trains them.

[@DJFaNaTiiC]

What’s up bro. A really simple thing is stepping on a resistance band and explosively driving the knee up. Also balance exercises on one leg where you drive the knee up and stabilize train the hip flexors as well. Very simple stuff that will for sure help you

[@sosa2413]

Lol 😂 You might not believe this but I did All of your Germany workouts and all of those workouts you were putting when you came back from Germany. when you were trying out overseas . You motivated me to become a tough athlete because I was doing what you were doing. And I severely got injured because I was doing what you were doing and man them workouts you have are no joke… please don’t take them out but advise how hard it is because I never did injury prevention. But I’m glad you are speaking about it. As a professional you have given great advice.

[@AthleteExpress1]

I don't really think you can have a "soccer-specific gym session". you can do a session to improve your speed, strength, and conditioning but I don't think there are sessions to "improve football ability" specifically

[@jogabonito7893]

100%

[@AthleteExpress1]

@LS Football Buts its speed specific. That's part of soccer yes but the workout is speed specific not soccer-specific

[@vishokkumartripathi8065]

True

[@AthleteExpress1]

@LS Football Exactly

[@shantiescovedo4361]

It is a good point, but it is also arguing semantics. He is trying to get views, but he is also trying to point out the differences in workouts depending on goals.

[@idefinemyownlife]

Thanks for yet another great video. I have a question: I ruptured my achilles in early February playing football - I am currently 3 months post-op and have been spending countless hours in the gym biking and doing both core and achilles work but also aestethically strength training. This is due to me not being cleared to jog or do anything football related yet. Do you think this is gonna slow me down once I return to football again?

[@romeriochaves7819]

Hey Matt I'm a about to turn 18 brazilian and with no club yet(not part of a professional team). Since I saw that a lot of american pro clubs are more used to have older players in their youth teams like U19, U23(unlike Brazil) I've been planning on doing volunteer work in the USA so I get a chance to live there with no much cost (still earning some money) and try my chance in some american club or college. I'm hoping to have a free soccer field or anything where I can train and workout meanwhile I still have no team. I'd like to know your opinion about it. You, as a professional soccer player in US, do you think it's worth for me to leave my country and try my best in a foreign territory where the football isn't soooo popular as in other countries(giving that I have a certain financial condition to that)? Is it easy to find a place to train? Plus, I have Boston and San Diego in mind, since I found the best volunteer job opportunities in these places. What do you say? Greetings from Brazil
