Thanks for all those great tips. We need to be extremely grateful to have advices like that for free from a true professional that you are💪⚽️🔥
Yes sir.
As someone who just joined semi pro in the uk. I’ve struggled. Every basic skill becomes complicated. I’m scared to risk passes. Make tackles. It’s just not the same so thanks Matt for saying Even pro players struggle with confidence. I hope to get out of it
You got this bro I believe in you!!!!!!
@@yllzonsylejmani6312 thank you bro👍🏻 same goes to you
One thing that I have noticed as someone trying to break into the pro game is being in the right place at the right time is key. I know guys who might not be the best players but they were in the right pace at the right time and all the circumstances lined up perfectly for them to get signed on the team.
100 percent
this made me realize how crazy it is for players like messi, ronaldo, lewangoalski and all those players at the top level performing the quality they are expected to play week in and out.
So true. People don't realize this. They have no appreciation for this.
All young players really need to take this in. I’m 25 and I really wish I had all the knowledge Sheldon gives out back when I was in highschool. I didn’t even push myself to play college for not having confidence after a horrible senior season. Regret stopping my career from moving foward
The tips are as real as it can get, love to watch content like these Matt, cause it's been helping us aspiring footballers with great deal.
The part of being injured and not having any positive distractions really hit me as it is what I’m going through now. All I have is soccer/ fútbol right now and it hurts sometimes.
Thank you for sharing matt. Always a good video
Very insightful and helpful thanks Matt, I don't take your videos for granted, truly appreciate you taking your time out dropping these insightful videos. Class content per usual.
great video... really enjoyed this and took a lot from it! Appreciate the content Matt!
So great, Matt. Thanks for making this video. Go stronger on the field yourself, I wish you all the best!!
Fantastic video Matt. Will definitely remember this as I go into my soccer career
Im eating breakfast before my game and perfect timing Matt! Always love your vids!
Couldn't be more grateful that I came across your channel. You've inspired and motivated me in the gym, on the field, and in the kitchen in so many ways. Thank you for all that you do!
Great vid.Truely needed
Q&A: What happened to Sheldon Tweedie?
I think he retired due to his injury sadly
Great vid, thanks!
What a time for him to drop this Video, I myself have been struggling through confidence issues and this was really an eye opener
Thank you for making videos like these.
Amazing content. So genuine, down to the real stuff
Fantastic advice Matt! Hope you continue to have success the rest of your career!
One of the most useful and helpful videos i've watched for you, i've learned and still learning a lot from you man, thank you very much and good luck with your current season. keep going !
Gonna watch that bit about confidence damn near every day. Thanks Matt.
Great video needed it really helpful
Very powerful video Matt , really appreciate this one🙏🏾❤️
Such a great video! It's really made me think deeply projecting all these things onto myself. Thank you, Matt!
Great video and very insightful ! I have always learned a lot and thanks for the info!
Really great information Matt ..Keep putting great content out there God bless you 🙌🏽
Yes mate, good start of the week
Im from the island of Saipan, a US territory next to Guam, and watching your videos really helped me with stretching and soccer IQ. I hope you get to come down and check our league out. My island is also a great place to vacay. 😁
You're just amazing to listen to man!
I think this is one of your best videos
Enjoyed the video. Keep it up Mat🙌🏾🔥
Hey Matt, thanks for all your influence on me, and once again a great video. I started following you when I was 14 and I got obsessed with training and improving myself over the years I was lucky enough to continue through the right paths and now at the age of 18 I am playing in Italy in Serie D, a first-team. I couldn't have gotten here without your mentorship and without the insights you gave me through your videos! Fun fact I am also playing as a right back and casually have the #13 on the back of my shirt jaja, but jokes aside thank you for helping me follow my dreams and aspirations by giving me the right guidance.
That is so cool! Im from Finland but i mainly watch Italian football, Serie A and some Serie B. Im actually coming to visit Italy in 3 weeks and go see some Serie A games. You keep going and training hard and one day you will be playing in Serie A with the best of Italia! Winners are losers who never gave up. Can i ask in what team do you play? La pratica rende perfetti
@@tarkka6145 thanks bro. Yeah I play in Breno, serie D
Hey hows it going in Italy
This is probably my favourite football video out there on RUclips. Don't think there's anyone else out there that's willing to go in depth into life as a pro footbaler like Matt does, and this is why imo he's the best football youtube channel out there 💯
I love this kind of videos, where you learn extra field things 👌🏽
I really appreciate the tips and knowing that I'm not the only one to struggle with a lack of confidence is a great comfort and motivator
Thanks Matt this really helps us I have also had up and down but I will start implementing some of these things
Great video! Would love it if you could talk some more about lesson #1. Imposter syndrome, doubt and how you tackled it?
Thank you so much for this video
Great video Matt keep it up
Matt sheldon. If someday you feel low and feel like something has hit you. Come back to this comment❤. You showed me the way to my real potential, your are an inspiration and a hero❤I'm so proud of you. And always remember that to my eyes your the best and I know you are more capable of what you think. Love and support from Mauritius❤.
Keep grinding I'm right behind you following your steps💪🏼❤. Thank you for everything you are doing.
I can’t lie what a great video 💪🏽
Great sharing! Lucky I clicked to watch. 👍
Another insightful and helpful video. But I have to compliment your lighting and color in this video. Top notch production quality.
Thank you Matt!
What a video best one ever!
Thanks appreciate all you tips hope to learn more from you!!! Im on semi professional journey in the US and I am taking your wisdom with me on this journey 🙏🏽 thanks
Thanks mate ❤️
Always amazing content here
Respect for your honesty!
Love this video
Just like Bale said. People thinking of pro footballers as robots. But Bale deals with the hatred very well and i admire him for that
Love this vid keep it up
You really made some spectacular points fr
Amazing video
I needed this
Bro as a upcoming footballer from 🇹🇹 trinidad
I love this
Everyone needs this‼️✅
Love your video
Very helpful advice
Wise words!
This may be the most knowledgeable football video to ever Grace RUclips. This is the real truth
Thank You!!!!!
One of the big lessons I’ve learnt from your channel, that you didn’t touch on here, was the ability to be give yourself honest feedback. This is something you are great at and while it is walking a fine line with imposter syndrome, it allows you to keep improving.
The exact opposite of this is someone like Sheldon Tweedie who wasn’t able to do this. He never walked the line with imposter syndrome as he finished every game and training session claiming he was the best. This was most evident when he went to the US and England, didn’t get close to signing for anyone, yet still kept claiming he was the best on the field.
Fast forward a few years, you’re a mode professional while Sheldon is running crypto scams and has retired from football.
That was amazing
Special 💎
Wish I could have seen this when I was younger especially the confidence part
I saw you play against Columba’s crew at a tourney
Hey lately ive been on a upward slope of drastic improvement, im getting a goals everytime i step on the field. I dont want to lose this progress. How do i keep and maintain this positive progression? Very helpful video! Thx for everything!!!
Hello Matt, I was wondering if you could make a good "everyday" prehab routine for a Footballer becuase recently a few of my friends have faced serious injury problems and I want to dedicate more of my time on that aspect of developing. Be it out of fear, but I am seeing so much stuff everywhere, it's very much confusing. I still do some of it, but I'm not quite sure if its enough.
Thank you for these videos, they help a lot!
Best videooooo
Any recommendations for sports science ? Can you make a video on how you read articles on the body and how you implement it?
Great videoo
Bro, come play for Singapore league and I will be your biggest supporter.
Champ!
Very important video for someone who iż seriously going to be pro
good video
Can you do more game analysis videos of pros like the one you did with busquets
noted

keeping it real
Really enjoyed your videos
Keep it up.
I have 2 questions,it will be great if u replied to these questions:
1. Where are you.
2. At what age u started playing football.
Video recommendation: tell u story from being zero to professional level
Hope for the response😄
He's in Charleston SC, and he started playing as a kid.
@@jakethewoz at what particular age?
at what age he signed a contract?
at what age he was at semi professional?
@@hrnoorr6480 there was a video of his some years ago and he said he started playing football at 12 years old although he was playing from a younger age, he wasn't as invested because he liked basketball more
@@alexj1650 already answered, but Matt has done a couple of different My Story and Path to Pro videos. If you search RUclips with those key words, you will find them.
Matt you're the difention of you made it as kids we dreamed of being and footballer or RUclipsr and having a beautiful wife , YOU GOT ALL OF THEM keept the work op man Love from The Netherlands
Hey Matt you may feel you had imposter syndrome after watching you for years I feel you just are a really humble amazing footballer and person. I rate you man!
Matt did you ever go through a long bulking phase to add muscle or did you just always train normally and try gain weight in offseason?
What do I do when my team doesn't want to release the footage of our games as they think that we will only care about ourselves and not focus on the team as a whole?
Matt Sheldon all thanks to you man cheers I am where I want to be now thanks man imma meet you one day broskis much love
This might be a really stupid question but is there any become elite merchandise or any way of a signed Matt item? Thanks for any replies guys
Hi Matt, I’m interested in studying nutrition. There’s many different companies that offer certified courses. What was the one you used out of interest?
At what age did you first get into a semi pro and also a pro team?? cheers
Number 3 reminds me of Ecclesiastes
Hey great stuff thanks for the tips.
I had a question to ask.
So u said that players are chilling most of the time but How do players like Kante go from 3rd division france to Chelsea without doing Individual training during the season?
Or how can they improve by just games and team training?
So what they do is that they will do training sessions whether it is team or individual, then they rest their muscles to go again the next day.
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean their not doing the work. Just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean they're not doing the work. Results tell the whole story. Kante is not a one season wander. it's no fluke
Upload more vids plzz😩😂😂
Please vlog now
After this,I really feel for Maguire
Is it worth trialing in Europe if your from the US ?
So if videos games are not taking over like I play video games for 2 hours but train longer its my positive distraction so its fine in limitation right?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In the last tip, you are talking about you have learned about the body, nutrition and training, but where have you learned that knoledge?💪🏼
Honestly don't think about these stuff in my opinion they put more pressure on you... Treat like your playing regular games but more serious don't let one bad game make you over think your abilities... If you keep thinking about the stuff you just said matt.. I am pretty sure from my experience you will suffer as a pro footballer
I would kill to be a professional footballer ⚽️
