DK21 thank you so much, couldn’t agree more. You’re amazing 🔴❤️
Patrick Viera thanks bro

Thanks bro
Matt can proudly say that he has inspired a generation of young footballers and if I ever become a footballer I will praise Matt👏. Keep up the good work.
Pure Foo7ball key word here "football"
@@kacie8105 That's the name of the game, yes.
💯
Wherever you go, whatever happens, no matter how old you get. Promise us one thing Matt,
*The intro stays*
honestly
BAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA

Theses highlights are still good but it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come! It’s a great feeling to see your progress take shape 🔥
fr Matt was a beast
هههههههههه
What is the best way for me to make varsity
Rubin Upreti outwork your competition day in and day out
Ummm...nooo looks like you guys have no idea how to spread the ball use space and no technical ability. Just kicks passes and hopes. Must be from a football state lol.
I honestly believe that I was at least at this level at 18, and didn't even play collegiate soccer. It just shows you how much work Matt has put it in to his workouts and training and just overall development. I would say that success in soccer is not as much about talent and more about your worth ethic and attitude. I had friends in highschool that would make 18 yo Matt look like trash technically. Now he is a soccer machine playing 2nd division pro in the US. To me this is just even more proof of how dedicated and intelligent Matt is in his approach to the game.
It's amazing how he is pointing out all the faults he has done. Matt is truly an inspiration to me and thousands of young players
Matt had a whole crowd screaming at him when he got the ball

Thanks so much for breaking down the video! Right now I’m working on getting all my clips together and emailing college coaches. You have inspired me so much. I have been practicing for 4-5 hours each day and most of the trainings are using your drills! Just want to say thanks and keep up the good work.
How do u train 4-5 hours *each day*?
ur moda Motivation keeps me going. I want to be a pro one day, so I get outside at like 5 or 6 at night (when it’s cool) and train till it gets dark. After that I just do some ab workouts and speed in my basement lol. I just started doing this a few weeks ago so it’s pretty new to me, but when I do it I feel so confident on the ball and my passing and touch has gotten A LOT better. If you want to do it as well I suggest put some music on and just have fun with the ball :)
It's good that you are training hard and taking it seriously but I just asked because maybe it's a bit too much... I think Matt talked about that in a vid about dilebrate training.
But you know your body the best so you would know when to take rest
ur moda Your right, right now im slowing things down doing more like 2-3 hours and im seeing better progress. Thanks 👌
Idk about you guys, but to me Matt’s high school highlights are insane
10,000 Subs With 0 Videos that’s why he went D1
To be honest that competition seems pretty weak. I am 18 and my opponents are much better than this. Still love his vids. But that’s my honest opinion
Nic Fae yea thats true, some of the teams weren’t that good but it still doesn’t change the fact that he was a good player. I was surprised seeing the highlights too cuz if he played like that in hs and still is pretty low level in pro imagine the ones that actually play high level pro soccer jeez.
aneaneo yes they have to be unbelievable for there Team
Nic Fae For some reason nowadays opponents are so much harder than back in (for example) 2011
My teammate's dad made commercials so he made highlight tapes for a few of us. This was back in the 90's when it was a lot harder and everything was still VHS. I sent a bunch out my junior year and did get some responses, including some pretty good D1 schools that had never seen me play in person. My senior year I had some scouts coming out to watch solely based on the tape. I actually started making highlight tapes for high school athletes myself as a business after I graduated college. It was a fun gig. Today anybody with a phone can do it.
As someone from small schools with small teams....you guys were freaking good. No one in our league even trained, looks freaking cool
Your story inspires me because I am also a late bloomer and have struggled to keep Up with everyone else. I started working out to gain strength and hearing you have a similar story really inspires me.
I just sent this to my son who is 12 and has been playing soccer since the age of 4. This is going to really help him as he moves forward in the soccer journey
Thank God Matt points out his past mistakes and is brutally honest with himself, so we who want to learn as much as we can, don't have to make the same mistakes.
Lets train as much as necessery to become elite🔥
This is so awesome. Thanks for sharing. My boys a junior midfielder and the advice you share here about the highlight video, your workouts, and even breaking down what you could be doing better, was SO helpful. Thanks for sharing Matt.
Can we just appreciate how his intro is literally perfect
@@jaidenarias5912 Jesus is the prophet of GOD and MUHAMMAD (SAW) IS THE LAST PROPHET OF ALLAH. AND BIBLE SAYS IT BUT YOU GUYS HAVE CREATED THOUSAND VERSIONS OF IT ..
as a current college player also from bellevue WA, it’s super inspiring to see this. Its nice to compare my level of play in high school to yours, helps me believe I can make it to the next level!!
Matt is holding up the tears when talking about his 18 years old. I am sure those hard works was not easy. But what's more important is that it paid off Matt. Cheers!
I go to lincoln Southeast! I didn't know that we grew up in the same town! Loncoln high is def a force to be reconed with this year.
This is actually a genius idea to make a video about! Thanks for being an inspo
Become Elite, great memories. I didn't have that opportunity and I hope my son does. We are making soccer drills and recording his journey to help out and train young soccer players, I also invite everyone to check us like show some love and support. Thank you.
Matt I'm going to Lincoln high school currently and it's crazy seeing someone from a random school in Tacoma Washington go professional, very inspirational
wow, it was really helpful to listen to your critiques, i needed this!
As a Portland Soccer player, really love that you're helping rep the city!
Incredibly useful video Matt. Highlight reels can have a huge say in the scope of recruitment a prospective athlete gets while they are in high school, so it is really important that every athlete really maximizes their 5-10 minutes of screen-time to get in front of some of the best college coaches in the US and make an impression. Keep putting out this valuable info - you're a huge resource for the community!
This is a great video. Gonna save this one for years to come. Please keep it up as long as possible. Have three sons, oldest just turned 9 and is a soccer dude. Aggressive player and kinda big for his age. He’s versatile, can dribble well and shoots well. He’s utilized more on defense cuz his aggressiveness and ability to shut down opposing teams when they attack.
But this video is a gem to develop the right kind of video for him and his little bros when they grow. Thanks for the advice/tips on developing a solid video. I see a bright future for him in soccer, he loves soccer. Thanks again!
The fact that he’s honest about everything is just great
thanks matt for all the honest feedback. take care.
Matt you have inspired me a lot and this year is my first year of high school thank you for all the tips
just an idea, you should make a video showing high school kids how to make their highlight videos better. You clearly know how to market yourself as a footballer and a lot of people could benefit from that. Great video
Couldnt have come at a better time. Been gathering some videos to create my highlight video to hopefully send out to club teams and colleges in the future, thank you Matt
Damn some of your runs you remind of Gareth Bale at Tottenham especially that game vs Inter at San siro. From a technical point of view very well made video and love the criticism you make for your videos, a solution and the reasons for both. Good luck man!
This guy deserves to be in the mls
MLS is a whole other level. I think he's doing just fine in USL.
Javier Torres there not that much better
The way he ran back in high school looks really satisfying lol Maybe it’s just me 😂
It’s funny that you mention the change in position as you grew. I started from CB to CDM to LB to LW and now I’m striker
Love pausing a become elite video to watch the newest video as soon as it uploads :)
Despite the level seemingly pretty low, you still had some pretty awesome plays in there and posted up some awesome stats. An excellent breakthrough season that kicked off you career. I really felt the late bloomer part aswell, kinda living the same situation except I’m still waiting to grow, I’m 5´2 115 at 15 😢
I love watching how I used to play and seeing how much ice improved! Dope video!!
look up clay county soccer club, you are a player that looks like he would’ve grown and played from them because your playstyle is how they imagine their players to play. one of the best clubs in florida
You still had the sauce! Great video Matt!
I started following your journey years ago, I was interested because I was also a striker who is now a right back! I think it helps that we played both cause it helps on both ends. Hopefully we can play against each other one day 🙏🏽
I remember our Croatian coach man, simpler times
I remember being a senior playing high level club in NY and we had a forward that was a monster. Decided to play D1 baseball instead of taking the offers he had from UNC or ND. Best player I’ve ever played with and I’m sure he’d have made it into a level of pro league. Reminds me a bit of your video
Man you are good at soccer, love your videos! Keep it up!
Lol my dawgggg 💪🏾 liked you better as a striker , what happened? 🤣🤣 cool vid
Anthony Legendre, I’m a fan !! You’re an insane left back ! ⚽️🙏🏽
The professional level is very different
big G
@@jaidenarias5912 Jesus is God
Every high school soccer video I see on RUclips are played on football fields. Am I the only one whose high school had an actual soccer field?
Awesome Video Matt, you are my idol. You inspire me everyday!
I have been wanting this video for like 2 years now thank you finally.
Me 16 laying on my bed while eating chips while he talks about the gym
I think you have a great platform to advocate having more diversity in American soccer. Our soccer team really embodies the underdog mentality and we have a great opportunity to encourage more Americans of color to contribute to our national team.
You should think about being a social media director/manager for a big club when you retire. OR start a company focused on helping players get recruited. Just my two cents (PS I played against you in high school!) same age as you and from NorCal
Love your vids man keep up the good work
Hi, I wanted to know how you felt when you were asked to change from being an attacking player to a defender and if you miss it. Thx
Do you want to talk/learn about God and Jesus? God and Jesus both love you and can help you with whatever you may be going through!
4 minutes in talking about how it’s important to be jam packed with clips and we haven’t seen a thing. Cmon cuhhhhh
I dont think your touch was bad! .. turf is hard to control because the ball just wants to bounce all the time.
The title: SoCcEr
Great video Matt.....watched it with my son D'Angelo #75 he is 13 he plays striker for his club Rebels.
Keep up the good work.
I thought you were an early bloomer , cus you seem bigger and stringer. I was an early bloomer and i remember how easy it was to outplay everyone: they were smaller. You are a good example of hard work and dedication.
I stopped playing for a year and ahalf, but man, in that time I learned so much about confidence and composure
It is amazing how God has led you so far in this football game, and still you can go higher
Not god,he helped himself by working hard
@@aakashgarain yes of course he himself worked for this, but god gave him great strength and determination
Who else here grinding everyday to improve like i am?
I'm personally working on the technical aspects of my game. Right now I only feel as though I'm only a physical presence bc of my height ( I'm a 5"7, 13 yo) but I rlly want to be more of a midfielder and less of a defender, so I'm trying to work on my passing and vision.
Also I really love your channel👍👍👍.
@@JDGreen-vj7wx lets get it man, as midfielders we need insane work rate and fitness, so i recommend including 5 and 10k runs in your practice too as well as hill sprints and calf work to get faster
Jamal Green yeah you’re pretty tall for your age, I’m almost 15 and I’m 5’8. Keep working on your technical abilities and you will improve.
Beckham Aiman I’m 14 and I’m 6ft 3in but remember height doesn’t mean shit
I am
It would be cool to see your old teammates where are they now or even teammates that were better than you that would be a nice vid
Love this type of video
man i was in 2nd grade when you played wilson there and now i’m going into my junior there there, i hate lincoln with all my heart but glad to see you got to the next level💯
loved it Matt!
Hey Matt! First off I want to say I’m really proud of living in the city that you play for! But I’m a 17 year old skinny boy and I see that you were very skinny too back in your teen years. Could you make a video or how to gain muscle mass and how to look like a soccer player like lean and fast but at the same time big enough to use body in soccer. Also could you make a video of like gym routines that soccer players should have? You’re an amazing player I hope we can go back to the stadium so I can see you play!!
Thank You Matt.
Amazing video
Keep up the good work
I like these types of videos 👍🏼 keep it up 💯
I love how you said you flopped on that play 😂 that’s high school soccer though
Gof matt you would have been a great winger or striker ,so fast and athletic
Thank you man a lot you help me a lot !
2:40 1855 minutes in 20 games is impossible. Even if you played 90 mins per game you'd get a max of 1800.
dont leave me'
as i was watching the video i recognized one of the fields was a high school 5 miles from my house and i just realized that matt is from portland. that’s crazy to me since i’m from portland as well
I’m joining high school and I can’t wait to play high school soccer.
How has it gone it’s been 9 months
@@kingshit3076 it’s actually really fun, I practice everyday and yea it’s sucks that I didn’t know anyone because of online school but were getting to know each other and it’s been fun
@@mrbeaner7603 that’s awesome bro keep up the good work. I was gonna join my high school team but because of covid they canceled sports. but now I have more time to practice 😂🙏
@@kingshit3076 thanks bro, lol at least you’ll have more time to prepare for highschool😅
I am so amazed at the level of excellence Matt works at, especially critiquing and explaining what he would do or could do better! Very helpful
Please do more of these vids cause I am also a high school student trying to make into college soccer. Love the vids👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Good video. You were definitely faster and stronger than those other high schoolers.
That jumping celebration 😂😂👍👍
Invaluable advice- thanks Matt
Rocking the mercurials since college
I'm from Belgium and i'm 18 and I play for the first team in the 3rd devision. College/ high school soccer in easy in the US. I reallt wish I whas born in the US cause it is so nice that you can play soccer for your school
6:20 How in the world is that a bad touch that was awesome lol
this was great video!!!
i loved it
Could you make a video of what drills you did during high school or your routine during your high school season? 😀⚽️⚽️⚽️
Can u show us what type of workouts you did throughout highschool when u first started lifting weights.
i love all your videos thank you for giving us this chance to see soccer videos i hope i can be like you
MATT SHELDON!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video and ideas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
C'mon man!!! Open the videos with the game again Southridge? Good Job Matt, that's a awesome video. Unfortunately I was the Southridge coach that night lol.
Keep up making these highlights it quite amazing you a good defender I play as an attacking midfielder
Wow.. ur hardwork til now paid off for sure.. I could see that you were far away from a talent, ur touches and technique were messy.. u make us untalented players believe that we can achieve! thank you , Matt!
Thanks for all your advice👍 which will make us viwers better players
7:34 that commentary tho 😎😂
Bob is king. Lol, he corrects so much XD
To get d3 d2 or d1 do you actually need a highlight video? Or is that just recommended?
Keep doing these kind of vids
This is awesome!
This is very helpful, thank you
