    On another note, I have also experienced ankle trouble in my left ankle, and I see it’s pretty popular in the comments. I would love to see some ankle mobility, focus videos with bands for strengthening.

    I love the stretching video. It’s definitely good way to spend 25 minutes the day after a competitive match. I’m 35 years old and I’m still playing second division adult league in Atlanta. Your routines are really helping me in my mobility and preventing injury on the field. I now consider myself part of the become elite cult, and I’ve shared the good news of Matt Sheldon with everyone on my team.

    I first saw you in the video that went super viral across amateur ballers, (the one starring Gucci). As a 31yo amateur footballer, the routines and exercises you do, are great for me. I'm thankful, there are plenty like me that refuse to settle the competition rhythm into a something more slow paced, and then we got destroyed after each match haha.. Anyway, I started harder with the gym, built some muscle base upper and lower body, to get athletic in exchange for the speed that clearly I've been losing with the ongoing years. Time does not forgive, if at some point you release a speed program for old dudes, I'll be into it ;)

    Just to add to the 'camera is deceiving' theme here about how fast the game is played when you're actually 20 metres from it, think about the referees. I ref and I've watched myself on camera, and at the level I do it looks glacial, and yet when you're standing in the middle of it it's 100mph. I can't imagine what it's like for a referee at the highest levels.

    Hey Matt, I love your content and I love watching your journey. Recently I broke my ankle. I am just coming back from it today and I was wondering if you could do something for ankle mobility.. You really make these stretches easier because you give good directions and advice on stretches. It would mean a lot if you could. Keep crushing it man.

  • @maxwellsdemon10
    @maxwellsdemon10 2 дні тому

    The way you described playing with pros pretty much maps exactly onto my experience with pros in Kickboxing/Muay Thai. The difference isn't that these guys are so much faster, stronger and more enduring as good amateurs (although they certainly are better conditioned). It's just that they see stuff and don't think about stuff, that you as a non-pro just have to actively think about. I didn't feel like the individual steps where something I was unable to do. A simple jab, cross high kick combo, but just the positioning, the timing, the knowledge how the opponent reacts and the speed with which they were chained together was just on a different level. It just seemed like they had more time...

    Love this stuff! I'll be implementing many of these games into my U9 training sessions. So many of the videos on UA-cam are far too complex or require high skill/touch and major setups and equipment. But most of these can be done by the average U9 kid in my club using nothing more than cones. Incredibly helpful, thanks.

  • @kakao6125
    @kakao6125 5 днів тому

    so many people neglect the importance of scanning and reading the game. Do not decide what to do when u have the ball, plan on what u want to do before making a forward movement and pass by scanning the opponents movement and before the ball gets to you, scan for opponents rushing to give pressure towards u to beat their pressure. This is significantly more important towards unathletic player when they cant abuse their strength and pace to beat the press
