Awesome stuff as always Michael. Loved getting a bit of insider information about the process- I'm sure these kinds of insights will be super beneficial especially to younger players/viewers. I wish this kind of video was readily available when I was growing up, but alas :) Keep up the work mate!
Make a video on a proper diet that a football player should follow
Surinamese
Hey Michael, loved the video. Would it be possible to make another one about agents and your experiences with them?
For sure mate 👍
@7mlc yes Please
You do an amazing job
@@7mlc yes
Thank you thank you! Perfect timing! I really appreciate it!
Always welcome!
Bro for this video there are unlimited " thank you" for you from me and us. We all just needed this video. You are just a great helper for us . Thank you so much.
You’re always welcome Naman, I’ll help wherever I can mate 👍
I am so grateful to u... this video is helping me a lot
Got tryouts Thursday been working hard everyday and I've been waiting for this moment 😅
Michael made a huge mistake
Zlatan doesn't play for LA Galaxy
La Galaxy plays for Zlatan
Lol 😆 I had to...
Great insight! I especially like your analysis on the open tryouts in the US. I recently tried out at one of these events and it was a great experience. However your point about experience and chemistry is absolutely correct! I was making give and go runs all day long and I never received the ball back after darting down the wing countless times. I hoped that the coaches would at least notice the intelligent movement and intent but it wasn't meant to be... Will try one last time next year with slightly different tactics. Maybe I'll keep hold of the ball next time. Thanks for the tips!
Giving hope and tips to the future generation, love it!
Simple and quick!
Thanks bro!
Hey 7mlc.
Thanks for the beautiful Information. It's more intense than I even thought. Thanks for sorting out all essentials of trials, my eyes are opened.
I needed to watch this and grateful that you were able to share it us.
Positivity, work rate, playing quick and simple. I've learned it tonight.
You inspire alot and thanks for all the other clips you make for us to improve our games.
Cheers 7
Happy to provide some insight for you! Here to help wherever I can 👍
Thanks for this video! There's lot of important information so I can prepare better for my trials. I'll train even more and become better football player. I have long way to go but I still hope that they choose me.

There always be people to dislike what you do, whether what you’re doing is good, bad or anywhere in between. That’s the world we live in 😄

@@iliasguenou4930 thanks buddy
Elias Senpai tell me if u make it
Love all your vids but I notice I usually have to go to a different channel to find a video that would allow me to do endurance related training in my backyard or at home.
Would be greatly appreciated! Once again love your vids !
I have been waiting soooooooo long for this......
Thanks so much!!I have my notepad 😎😁
Your content is phenomenal
You’re welcome mate!
I would love a video about getting an agent! Im signing for a UPSL team and a USL 2 team is inviting me into pre-season and would like to know when I should start getting an agent and how to get one! Great video! I'm loving the content!
Thanx mate so informative and helpful video. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Michael, would like to thank you again for helping us out again! Btw could you please do a video on agents and all the scam related, basically to differentiate between a scam and a real deal, and lastly money related prospects.
Thank you so much..
Vital information..
This video helped so much. I’m trying to get recruited for college next year. Could you possibly make a video, just for college recruiting. It would be so helpful to know what else I need to do as a player and as a student.
Thanks man i appreciate the video, will like to see a video abt agent...
This video is golden!😳💯
It was worth it bro . Thanks for that
You are the best and my inspiration too.
Humbled bro, thank you!
Amazing video bro and the song is amazing
There’s a big difference between an open tryout for a professional team and an open tryout for a youth club team, thanks for giving us an insight to it!
Also I would love to see a video of agents and how to find one to help you with contracts. Thanks!
I’ll share a video on it son mate 👍
This is the best quality video of yours man and email application was perfect man👌
Thanks for the positive feedback mate, glad it was helpful!
@@7mlc thanks for your hardwork
Very good bro. Always you make our benefit🤗👏🤗⚽⚽👍👍 i am fan of you.
Thanks for your support bro!
Thank you sir for such a good video. And thanks to reply me.You are the only one who reply to my comment.Thanks once again
Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
Bro, it was a fantastic video and please make a video on college soccer recruiting because my college is just about to start in a few weeks
Howdy mlc...
Thx for sharing crystal clear information...
I would love to see u on arsenal jersey as their striker...
They need a scorer like u...
Pls send them your cv...
U can add huge improvement to them...
Seriously...
Micheal @7mlc please write more, I love your blog. A lot sinks in when reading over and over again.
Great work with the channel too, I work on your drills (with a friend sometimes) and hit the gym with your sessions 6/7 times a week. 💪💪💪.
YES u r really right
Awesome video! Would it be possible to make another video on your experiences with agents and how the American college system works?
Also, I hope you don’t take any offence but how come you not playing at a higher level? You are the best footballer you-tuber I’ve seen so far. You’re quick, great first touch and have excellent technique. You should be playing at a higher level
Common Michael this is just one of your stuff I have gone through in while that really made me feel good about myself again. I hate praising myself as a player because I want the opportunities and my skills to do that for me. Here I’d just learnt a lot from you: really good stuff From you and I hope this will enable me to get a club faster. I will be coming back for more questions here maybe by tomorrow. Michael I will also like to be on you instagram account 🙏
I loved this video it's helping me a lot
Cheers for the info, very helpful
helpful and awesome vid mate
Good Video. I've been following your videos for the last couple of years and you did enlighten me. Thank You. I want to know how you command and communicate with the players on the field.
Thanks
God Bless you
Love ur videos bro💯. Please make a video on college recruiting
If you could make a similar video for college recruitment that would be perfect! As a U.S. high school student trying to play at the D1 college level, I’m trying to learn as much as I can and I know your videos are always quality. Keep it up Mike!
Thanks Nabil! I’ll get that video made soon mate 👍
information is really helpful thanx sir nd ur game insane 💓
Please, do the college tryout/direction video you spoke of.. thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INFORMATION SIR LOVE FROM ❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Always welcome bro!
Thank you for making this video, it is really giving an idea about the tryouts coming soon for me
Happy to provide some insight for you mate!
If possible can you give us more knowledge maybe another video
Peter Meneses What more info do you need?
I would love to know when did your journey begin and how did you know, how did you keep it going, how many clubs did it take to get you where you are, to me your a role model for us and want to follow in your footsteps.
If there's any near by tryouts in my area or near a city, I'll be sure to watch this again.
Great stuff Leo 👍
@@7mlc Thanks.
Perfect. Was waiting for a video like this!
Happy to provide it for you mate!
Great video mate💯💯but can you make one for college trials? This year I want to play for college but I want to know what I’m getting into or what’s required to play at college level
Wooow it's a lot more easy todo get a semi professional team in the US than in Mexico, where i'm from, In my experience lots of mexican teams look up for the money instead of the player, that's really sad, however i has the oportunity to played at a semi pro level and it's really awsome, I think i would had a longer carrer if i would go to the US, great video bro!!!
Great video! Keep up the good work !
Thank you Tan!
your videos are indeed wonderful and it's has improve my overall performance in the league. Thank you so much for it. one more thing I will love to come for a trial there in USA and I want you to connect me with an agent. Am a professional footballer in Nigeria.
Bro love your videos. Please make a video on college soccer recruiting
Thank you bro! I’ll have that video ready soon 👍
Please hurry Michael
Thanks bro! Thanks fr sharing ur knowledge
Always my pleasure mate!
Thank you i was needed this
Happy to help Hisham!
Hi Michael, love your videos and explanation! I'd love to see a video talking about college and how you can get recruited and maybe get a scholarship. Btw, i'm not from the US so if you can talk about this too i'll appreciate that a lot!
@7mlc any answer bro?
Awesome Video.
Really helpful mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy to help!
Tnx Brother for this I have some tryouts in this month I have prepare for it......
Play simple and quickly no pressure.
Best wishes for your trials mate!
I watch all your video and use all your advice. Now I have a full scholarship
Congratulations on being offered a scholarship, that’s fantastic!
Ok am I the only one who doesn’t play soccer but just loves the vlogs🤷🏽♂️💯 I just found this channel and Im loving it lol
Better Tomorrow if that’s the case then that sucks🤷🏽♂️ great content💯
Better Tomorrow exactly 💯
Absolute legend
Appreciate it bro!
Brilliant
I myself have actually tried out for two different pro teams. The Atlanta United 2 & the Birmingham legion. Both who play in the USL. Both tryouts were a 3 day trial & I made it to the last day for both of them. Exactly like Michael said in the video, in an open trial there's ppl of all skill level in attendance. When I went to try out for the legion, on the first day it was about 95 ppl at the tryout. 30 were college players while the rest were amateurs players. And by amateurs I mean someone who isn't currently playing college, semi pro or professional, which is what I was & still am. It seems even though I'm an "amateur" player I was better than the majority of the ppl trying out. As I was able to make it to the third & final day. On the third day, that number got cut drastically from 95 down to 14. It was me & 13 other college players. Now the majority of the college players on the third day were D2 with some being D1. And as far as I know, not one of us got signed to the Legion. Even though in my opinion, everyone on the third day was without a doubt a skilled player. But once again as Michael said or even as become elite said these teams holding the open tryouts don't actually have to sign anyone. And truthfully I'm sure plenty of teams do it as a way just to make extra money. Open tryouts can be a very good thing for aspiring soccer players but at the same time there definitely not without cons.
Love this video
Glad it was helpful mate!
Thanks 👍
Great informative video. I will pass this on to a couple of recruits that were drop recently.
Good one
Thank you!
A video on college tryouts would be great !
Coming soon mate!
thank youuuuuu coach thanks mate!!
Always welcome!
Hi sir. Just wanted to ask for tips on how to go pro,if you could make a video about that
Helpful , keep the vids up
Happy to help!
great vid,
college video is very good idea, can you also look at it from the aspect of an international person for example from england trying to go to us?
Yes mate, I’m from England and came to the US so that is the main angle I would approach it from 👍
Great vid. thanks again
Always welcome Anthony!
Thank you bro
Hi, I appreciate you for making these videos. I use a lot of your training videos to train my son, it has helped him alot.
I have a question. My is 13, he plays club soccer, but he is going to high school next year. His grades are great, but the high school his going to attend doesn't have a good soccer team. We don't what's better, to remain playing for the club or search for another high school with better team. Nonetheless, he wants keep building up on his soccer and hopefully play professional one day. Any help is appreciated it.
Jim
Great vedio mate !!
Thanks Muhammed!
Big thanks bro
Always welcome bro!
Thanks for this video .. I got a trial in a Portuguese pro club to play for their academy .. Can u do a video like this but for pro academy level, please .
Hi michael your videos help me and others so much please do more of these type of videos (not saying your other videos are bad) personally I don’t see you as a content creator I see you as a teacher. Following on this video I was wondering what is the best way to find these semi pro clubs e.g certain websites or Facebook pages baring in mind I am from the UK. Thank you for all the useful information you put out for us aspiring players
Glad it’s helpful mate, I don’t consider myself a content creator either, I’ve been helping players improve and now have the opportunity to use RUclips as a platform to reach more players 👍
My advice would be to look up teams in your area using google, and most club websites will have an email address on their site. That’s had good results for me in the past 👍
Thank you for the fast reply that was really quick😂. And thanks for the information I hope I see you when your in the UK do a session you never know.
Definitely interested in a video about agents.. Their role, fees etc Thanks
Will talk about that in a future video 👍
Had gone for tryouts as a right back for a league on turf yesterday:
Lessons learnt:
1: Be composed and relaxed. Do not put pressure on yourself
2: I had not got turf shoes. So had to wear spare shoes which the ground staff provided. The shoes were almost flat so I was like skating. Carry your own shoes, clothes, etc. which you are comfortable in with or without the ball.
3: I am decent at dribbling but did not dribble even once yesterday. I should have tried out to dribble atleast once.
4: Decide a position you will be playing and take control of that position.
5: I did not play tough. Play tough but not rough.
6: I should have played and practiced with the ball on the tryout turf more before the tryouts.
7: I let the opposite teams player too much freedom and was too casual in one play. This allowed him to take a shot. Do not underestimate the opposite player.
8: I ensured that I keeper an arms length from the player rather than commit because catching up would be difficult.
9: I should have tried to read the game, look around without the ball to see my teams players and other teams players. So I know what action to take once I get the ball
10: I did not go in open spaces to ask for the ball.
11: Be confident that you are a good player.
thanks alot build my confidence i was really nervous before i read your comment
@@williamlangat2257 Glad it helps.
Can you do another video, but in England's trial system and etc cause that's my turf
Same But in England after a trial you can something tell if you got in or not
Hi its me again thank you so much now im confident that i can make the school team btw im in school lol
Best wishes man, hope you make your school team!
Which grade you in?
Hey great video man!
I Just wanted to ask if there is a way to balance soccer training and working on sprinting/ running/ and gym working out because I feel lost on how to balance all 3 and sometimes tire myself out when I do 1 or 2 of them
Better Tomorrow The problem is I am skinny and need to improve my overall physique because during high school tryouts, everyone likes to play physical and need to figure a way out to incorporate speed, skills, and gym.
Awesome video and on 3:10 is that Omar.
Yes it is 👍
pls add a video,I have a college selection trials next week
Thanks for the information. What's workrate? The third point you talked about. I'm grateful.
Work rate is the effort you are putting in 👍
Hi! Great video I really enjoyed it! I have a question, I can’t play on Sundays because of my religion(LDS, you might of heard of them) so I struggle getting into academy’s. I’ve been scouted but they asked me to go to a tournament in Tottenham but it was on Sunday. Any tips or advice? Thanks
