To be honest all you need for football is your foot and a ball, everything else comes after

Hey man, just played against you. Im #90 on the New York Red Bulls 2. Great game from you bro, if we hadn’t lost that bad I would’ve been in a better mood to ask for a picture with you bro lol 🙌🏻

Love this brother . I think the sklz goal shot is great. For me, hitting into an empty net is a pet hate. Just my personal preference. Goals keepers are the way forward though 🤣 totally agree with cones & cheap balls. Nail on the head there

I did not grow up playing football but my son found a love for it at a young age. He is now 12 and over the years I have 'wasted' more money than I care to admit to support his passion and agree with this list (and could add to it). I'm a minimalist at heart and would love to see a video on your essentials (match day, training, recovery, etc). I would also love to hear your opinion on Leg Compression Sleeves as a recovery tool. They are pretty pricey and not something I am prepared to just purchase on a whim.

@BecomeElite Жыл бұрын

I actually really like using my compression boots, but they definitely aren't necessary... especially for a 12 year old. I like them pretty much the same as I like my foam roller and I'd put the benefits of them as pretty similar to a foam roller, but a foam roller is $15 and compression boots can be over $1,000.

Hey Matt… do you train cardio during the season or do you find that with all the training and matches it’s unnecessary? If so could we see your in season cardio routine? Thanks a lot

@b3an3er Жыл бұрын

Yes please

@BecomeElite Жыл бұрын

Typically, no, I don't do anything extra fitness sessions outside of team training during season if I'm regularly playing. But that changes if I go 2+ weeks without playing matches for whatever reason (get benched, red card suspension, etc.) Then I'll do add in a John Terry Cardio or some extra full field sprints at the field to maintain my match fitness.

I found with the J guards, if you play with cut socks you can just stick them in the sock and then put the sleeve over it and they stay put without any tape.

Matt would you suggest purchasing something like normatec leg recovery things. The 3.0’s drop in price with a combo of interest free payments seems like a solid buy. In my 30’s now i feel like i could use them and maybe even when i stop playing soccer (if they last that long) could even help with just day to day getting old stuff / recovery from doing a bit of training??? I know you have used them in a couple of your vids but i think they were team issued. Thanks

Agree with everything except the match ball. Match balls are expensive. They are consumables and need to replenish from time to time. You probably just need to find balls with reasonable quality and always buy the same balls.

The $40 soccer balls last about 1 to 2 years, so I have no complaints about them. The cheaper balls deflate way too quick. You should have added cheap cleats on here haha! I had some in high school while I was waiting for my nice ones to arrive, and they ripped in the middle of a game.

@lhb873 Жыл бұрын

I feel like as long as balls last it should be fine, plus you'd want more of a variety anyway because unless you're a top top level professional you're going to get the variation

@ianrevengeconnor9940 Жыл бұрын

I play and train with a GPS vest, and let me tell you. It’s not worth it. It wont improve you. It gives you information about stats (distance, topspeed, explosive moves etc.) but it won’t make you better. Yes, you can run a bit more in the next session or game, but you don’t have to own a vest for that. Although I like the positioning map/heatmap, to give you a better view on, how you are positioning in the match. I think it’s a fun tool, but not fully the credits worth

Every kid on my team wears the smallest shinguards ever, no idea why seems to be some sort of trend . The older guys including myself wear larger ones. Ive worn j-guards for a long time but about ten years ago (after a tibia injury) I bought a pair of diadoras the carbon fiber ones that were made for totti after he broke his leg. Anyway been using them with pre wrap and they are super slim super strong cant even tell they are on and i dont even feel them on.
