Never too old to display your love for the game. All over the world there are clubs that compete in 70 and over leagues. I play with an 87 yo guy. If you can do it play on!!!
Do you guys do it as a career or recreational?
That 87 not playing for pro just for fun
@@ge394 just for fun. The way this is presented with the old guy on the preview that there is an age limit.
I'm 51 and still love to play. I play 3-4 times a week and will continue to play for long time...
Nice bro my grandpa in his 60 and plays every day hes so athletic have a nice day
Thanks for this comment sir😁🙏
And I'm here 16 thinking that im too old to play football 😂😂
@@soardfuzr4209 same here bro😅😂
Me 14 lmao
I play with people that are much better than me but they don't want to be a pro. They just rlly love it.
In Bulgaria, in the first years of this century, we had a player who started playing amateur football at 28, at 31 signed with the Slavia team, from the first league and played a good 4 seasons. Anything is possible..
I’m 16 and I started playing like a year ago I’ve been improving so much even my friends are noticing my improvement imma keep practicing because I still have a lot that I have to learn.
Pablo’s Backup keep going bro💫👍🏾
Bro I am 14 I'm indian I am training for a pro when I was 9 year old but then I get to know that in India football is treated like trash our indian team captain is begging in streets to people to watch match then I started these things at 12 like weed but now I'm 14 I am totally out of it I regained my many skills I'm training hard daily
@@saumyavardhannn , try to move to a country that respects football and you will have more oportunities I know your very young but how bad you want to be a pro, read Firaol Ahmed story here in the comments its very inspirational
what happened bro
update?
I'm 34 and started playing this year after not playing for 18 years, feels good and definitely worth while. Admittedly I've played indoor for that entire gap, but nothing compared to running outdoor. Anyway, as they say if something is available for one man, it's available to all.
Please can you help me. I also the same age an I want to play in Europe
I know a guy that went pro at age of 29. It is 4th division but he still gets paid 50.000€ per year and doing what he loves. And he is just 30 now he can go up.
Wow!
Which country?
Who
@@khadyndiaye5999 Turkey
4th division in turkey getting paid 50k euros a year?? Thats crazyy
I moved to US when i was 15 now I'm 17. Never played 11 v 11, never played club soccer. I realized I loved soccer and i put in time and now I'm one level away from playing for a professional team acedemy. You not gonna lose anything for trying. So don't doubt yourself anymore, just go out there and put in hours on your own and you will see how fast things can change
love u bro with ur Statement thanks bro
If you think that youre too old , just remember that riyad mahrez he got rejected in marseille at age of 15 and he start playing in a club at age of 17 , and now he's playing in man city .
I’ll keep that in mind as a 38 year old
@@theuncrediblehaak😂
I'm 56 and play 3x a week. Small sided-games and the odd 11s game. I've also improved loads in the last couple of years, using tips like Dave's.
Hah.
Age affects us differently. I’ve seen some in their 50s and older look great on the pitch.
Others, like me, hit a wall earlier…I’m 47 and am pretty much a trash player now, despite making significant effort to train consistently.
Before watching... I’d say it depends on the level you’re shooting for...
English premiere league, breaking in at 25 is pretty old.
MLS you can still get in, in your mid 20s.
USL you can get in, in your mid 30’s.
Most semi pro leagues, maybe late 30’s depending on where your coming from.
I recently resume playing football at age 36 years..had stop playing due to work when I was 25 years old but the passion was always there and that was what brought me back to the beautiful game
This video gave me a huge confidence boost, thanks so much for this Dave
Thanks for this valuable words ,Dave. And please make a video on how to improve acceleration and agility with some drills along too. This too Dave. Really needed.
Your videos are helping me so much in my career , love U man and thnak u so mach for all your effort trying to help football players and specially me , i wish ya all good
Love this channel
Love the Thailand kit! I myself am from Bangkok and want to pursue a pro career over there when I move back from the states, to hopefully build my skills and network and play all through Asia and potentially Europe! Played well in high school but tore my acl as I got into playing college ball and the mental strain and distractions definitely got to me... now having just turned 26 I'm hoping to get back into it because the itch to play to live has never gone away... Good luck to all who are also pursuing their dreams!
SimplySoccer you always give great advice!
You are such a good guy with great personality...all the best in what ever you doing ❤️
I am almost 27,I am in a country(Pakistan) where there is no football structute,Infact Fifa has banned our federation,I have financial crisis right now but I love this game,i ve a lot of potential ,and problems wont stop me,i am working hard,3 to 4 hrs a day,I plan to go somewhere foriegn to give trials once I save some money or will send videos to agents,I am driven and wont look back.
Mil gya koi agent ??
Love this video! Just turned 20, been playing my whole life. Just got off an ACL tear injury. I would love to play college ball. Been working everyday trying to get the best I can be! Was wondering... who is that guy who documented his profesional football journey?
I loved football always since my childhood . But all kids around me used to play cricket. I played cricket for all these years. But I always had this desire to play football. I finally started playing in a near ground 2 years ago at age of 33. Then slowly with help of youtube I learnt controlling ball in air, power shoot , fake shot and all. I am 35 year old now and want to learn new things in this beautiful game. I think any age person can start playing football if he is fit enough .
I'm 36 and play in a men's league. Not the best by far and starting to slow down compared to some of the 20 year olds I play with. Love the game and they will have to take me off the pitch in a wheel chair.
I'm 22 and Jamie Vardy's story inspire me to play pro some day..
omg stop spamming this bullshit jamie vardy was in the academy and got called up at 28, he didn't just wake up one day and sign a pro contract
@@williamfotso6454 No shit
William Fotso he played in non league u dumb fuck he didn’t get called up straight out of the academy
@@williamfotso6454 true and football ⚽️ is just too hard to break in..I came to Holland 🇳🇱 when i was 21 i hustled men was cold 🥶 for me men ! Now am 25 i couldn't make it was hard men..so hard now am playing for fun but like a prooo
@Neymars Stunt Double I've lost 15-20kg and I'm in the best shape of my life :) Just waiting for corona to calm down so I can find a team :) I still believe in myself :)
This was helpful thanks
Hiii guys, this was a video filled with so much positivity, this didn't had any binary views. Love you Dave,
My question how can we manage football training /job/business, if we are over 20 ?
U are helpful thanks😀
Thank you so much Man, there is hope after watching this...
Wonderful wonderful I completely agree brother. This is motivation in on itself. For life in general. If it's coming from fear then it will crumble. But love, dude you're right.
I’m 19 and never played in a club before because of my parents. I can say that I’m good enough to be in a team but right now I’m training hard to get to the beast level and hopefully get into a club next season
SAME HERE
Same here too
Where do you live bro? I’m 19 too but I’m too old for most clubs or academies
Same but Im 22
I'm like you can I get your instagram name to speak ?
I was anxious about that but now you gave me confidence
Thank you Dave
I’m 20 years old
Me too dude I'm 14
@@kervensdesiral2135how is it going? Are you pro?
Thanks for your great video mate, I enjoyed playing football always as a kid, but I realized it's great to have a profession or hobby, which makes you become physically stronger and has health benefits. My focus is about personal development, I want to get the best performance out of me and become a better athlete, football is a great passion and creates a drive to perform better, I'll join a local club and work on my condition, shooting skills and mindset, I'll check out your videos.
Your knees (and maybe hips) will tell you when you are too old. In my late 30s I still play regularly with people 15-25 years my junior. I also referee and played collegiate and semi pro. I'm lucky to have never had a significant injury but I'll probably need knee replacements in my 60s (knock on wood)! Covid lockdowns were the most significant hurdle to my fitness I've ever experienced. I gained 10lbs and lost fitness. I've lost the weight and spent this past 18 months trying to get back to pre pandemic fitness (90 minutes regularly) but some things go away with age. And the kids keep getting younger and faster. Being 5'10" 160lbs-ish is definitely keeping me on the pitch in the shadow of nearly 40 years on this earth.
I am 32 years old, I played football when I was in high school, and just came back to playing now(1 year) , I mostly play for fun but sometimes I join some novice/amateur tournaments 7-8/aside , it is definitely worthwhile, I'm still learning till this day the beautiful game.
Helpful
Thank you! I've been having bad luck even if people/coaches see me as a very good player. People, coaches, have told me that I'm at least Ligue 2 in Romania. Each time I was back in town because of a failure, they'd be asking "what?? how?". But anyway, I needed your pep talk so thanks!
My partner is 29 and going through the same thing right now. Do u have any advice?
Thanku so much u just made my day thanku bro
If you’re a developed player, and in you’re mid 20’s, it might not be your skill level, it might be your networking level.
Thanks man I'm 21 I want to go pro. In my crap country they help each other their bias
After this video I'm going to work extremely hard.
I too
I know this may be discouraging but there is such thing as overtraining and over playing when you are younger. It affects the joints for one thing. Another contributing factor is body weight. The more weight you carry even when you are young, the more stress your joints have to take and they don't last as long. You may feel fine when you are young, no injuries no pain, but you pay the price later. That being said, on the flip side, it's helpful to maintain an active lifestyle when you are younger. Lack of exercise in your younger years will mean your stamina, endurance and strength will also deteriorate faster in your older years. There must be balance, not too much and not too little.
this took out a lot of pressure and i actually wanna train now im 17 btw thanks a lot dave :)
Thanks alot 👍 I'm going for it.. I will turn 35. Because it will give meaning to my life. N I feel so fun.. when m on ground running. Doing my routine.. training in gym. I think i just love to put physical efforts.. it's so much better than doing desk job which m doing now n Im not satisfied because I want something more from life. Infact want to set a benchmark.. n create whole new standard 🙏👍
Thanks for this video! It Helped me!
Can you tell us who is you're all time favourite player is? Please
thank you bro
Dave I’ve always wondered who ur favorite player is of all time and currently
You said in another video that only 3% of people are getting better, and a lot more think they are but they actually aren’t. What is the best way to determine if you are actually getting better or if you just think you are?
Love you bro
Could u discuss in a video the realistic of the football palyers wage
True words
Ty
Dave could you make a video on how to eat healthy getting the right amount of protein carbs and things like that
Thank You. :)
Dave ,weight training and body weight training is a major attribute for any player. Does weight training stunt your growth?
Dave
Next video about warm ups and down,stretches,recovery and that kind of stuff
Reason I still listen to Dave is because he thinks like the best I'll reference this channel when I make it to the top league
If I’m 19 and wanted to play football just to try to get to the highest level I could where would you recommend I start?
Football until I die age don't matter👏👏👏
I play football because i wanna make it pro, but my age is already 19 now and my skill is only average non league players. I never dreamed that i must go to the top level/premier league but maybe at the national league or efl league two clubs i will play if i really go pro. It doesn't matter which club or league that i play as long as it is a professional league. I'm from indonesia btw 🤟🤟
Im 44 play hard and had two knee meniscus surgeries .. unfortunately after 38 I realize my body is broken down .. hard to explain it but you can’t turn like you need to and if you need to hyperextend to score bam your out for 3 or 4 months at least … still play, love to play but currently working on becoming a more efficient finisher after fast runs and making the transition to becoming a shooter but the young me always wants to do all himself
Im 17 and i have past experience of playing cam/st but i stopped for a while and lost control of my physicality and became a bit overweight but now im getting motivation and im working on my body and slowly getting my skills back do you think ill be able to go pro before 22? Im trying to train 3-4 hours a day.
so I haven't played for a team since 2005 or so and over the past years I have rediscovered my passion for football again and made me start playing football to work out but I feel like I wanna try out for a team or something but I dont know how to test myself how good I feel fitness wise ... I am 30 and is 5'7 230+ pounds been working on weight loss journey but I struggle with confidence now and then cause of my past due to trauma of situations back in the day.
How can I somehow get back into Football?
Iam 15 rn thx for this vid great one
I'm 41 and play in a competitive sunday league. It isn't professional by any means but I enjoy it and enjoy the competitive aspect of it. I can keep up with the 21+ year olds on most things.
I also heard him mention at one points it's realistically possible to go pro in the 40's age. Is that right?
I hope so! I'm far from that age, but I also heard him mention anything is possible, I'd be satisfied with intercollegiate or semi pro.
I’m 13 and I’m pretty good at football, but I don’t think that’s enough. So I wanna train in the morning and night before and after school. Do you think I have enough time to make it pro. FYI Turing 14 In June
I'm 22 yo and I'm good at football , some people think that I have been playing football from a young age but the thing is just that I love the game and I have been playing it for fun from a young age (but haven’t played in a club before) and I want to start with a college team in my country as a midfielder cuz thats the position that I play in a 8v8 with let’s say "friends" , and also the majority of my fav players are midfielders, then I will try to go to US but what really bothers me is the highlights and reputation that I need for cv in order to make it to pro level there , what I mean is that my football cv will not be impressive and I might even get rejected by coaches because of lack of football history , what do you guys think ?
Please what's the name of the music? The one in the beginning. Also i just turned 18 today, really want to become pro someday. Not because of anybody, but because i want to.
Trying to play for a college team or local team.
Anyway, the day I turn pro, i would come back here and comment.
i play in a amateur team in a league that has former d1 , semi pro / pro players. Do i have a chance at going semi pro? i’m 18
I am 20 years old but I have lots of talent and I want to know if I need college to be able to go semi pro ...
I’m turning 18 next month and I want to try to be a pro player at any level. I would just be starting since I only mostly did boxing from 10-16. I dunno if I’m too old to start to become a pro or not
Am 19 and I play in Division3 under19 in Belgium...... Is there any chance??
Yes there is definitely a chance. You are lucky to be at a club that is in the third division. Don’t take it for granted is all I’ll say. Good luck🙌
Yes keep working hard 💪
Do more winger videos
This man is a legend he gave me hope
Also Didier Drogba went pro at 23.
I am 18 now I really love football since I was kid . I used to play it when I was in highschool with my Fri . I am doing competitive karate now cz my parents but I don't feel like I can take it anymore I start getting annoy with it . I sometime skip going training . I feel very unmotivated .

Is it harder to get noticed as a girl? Because I am 13 nearly 14 and started playing for a local team about 1 and 1/2 years ago, but I didn’t get treated the same as I am a girl playing for a mixed team I didn’t get the ball very much and people didn’t pass
Work hard and you will get there, you will be number 1
