I've been faking it. I fake confidence all the time. I fake confidence about my injury, playing situation for next year, trials, try-outs, etc. I always am faking it because I am a firm believer that if you keep up the positive self-talk and are constantly hammering in positive thoughts about your situation, then eventually... you start to believe it. In this video, I talk about how I fake it all the time.

you'll get a team. Your work ethic is on another level man, and someone will notice it. don't worry
Bray_ 23 that’s not anything small.. that means he isn’t getting paid..
i know its his job, but he will get one. Look at his skills and work ethic. someone is gonna see it. There is no chance of him not playing in a Pro teak next season, i can guarantee it
Bray_ 23 I agree with you and your words 👌
zExotic FaNc professional footballers in american second division dont get paid a lot anyways, money has nothing to do with it
You guys need to stop telling Matt to play in a foreign country. Matt has said how hard it is to get a Visa to play
chino10ification the j and k league teams take most although the quality is getting way better
Like they pay for it all
Hey Matt. Now you can't stop. You've come Avery long way mate. We all want you to continue playing pro soccer. We all have a lot of expectations from you man. You can't disappoint us now. You have motivated us till today, now it's our turn to stop him from taking any wrong step. Don't get under pressure. Just enjoy the process. Your groin is gonna be absolutely fine. We all know that pros have recovered from more serious injuries. This is nothing compared to that. You are the best. Remember why you started it. You used to dream of playing pro and becoming the best on your team, you are just few steps away mate. You have to do it now........ ALL THE BEST. We all should start a movement now. All of us have to add this to their comment- #WEAREALLWITHYOUMATT
Sufyan Couldn't have said it better mate. #MattWeAreAllWithYou
fake it till u make it
Soccer Jr. 💯💯👌🏾
I totally agree with you bro. This soccer "dream" is damn tough... for me personally, I just tore my ACL and I'll be out for a very long time. Shits tough bro. Just keep pushing & best of luck ⚽️️ much love ❤️
shit you alwais get injury is crazy hope you will comback even stronger
Maris_ghanem 29 I will. Thanks for the support
Dream Chasers United get well soon!
Christos Hp thanks I appreciate it 🙏🏽
Don’t worry bro just keep on fighting and you’ll smash it after you recover wish you a super fast recovery💪🏽
Bro don’t give up man you got this. Your work ethic is over the flippin roof and you motivated me to work as hard as I can every time a train. People will notice you, you got this
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

But an injury is different

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
2:26-9:26 Matt 100% nailed it on the head, felt like this for the past 5 years
Same, not the best player but I hope for the best.
Same man especially as a goalkeeper you worry a lot about certain things and stress a lot
goalkeeper is even MORE stressful
Jason Mason that is true coming from an attacking mid myself who takes shots quickly, and feeds through balls to my strikers
Hands down one of my favourite videos of yours over last two years. Pure honesty and emotion felt like I could really empathise with you. Your passion and desire translates so well through the camera. Visualisation and confidence is key to living a fulfilled life and have no doubt you're going to fucking smash it next season. Keep up the good vibes Matt, you're a sick guy.
The faking that ur injury is ok is so tru tho. Especially when ur like me and I've been injured for 14 months and still am not getting any better. I have to fake to my coach all the time that I'm ok and can keep going because there are no other people on my team that can play me position on the field so I always play full games. It's tough having to convince everyone including urself that ur okay. I hope u get better Matt!
Tryouts for la galaxy 2 are in January!!!! You should register
there bullshit
how?
they are only there to make the club money.
well right now they only have 5 defenders on roster so they have some spots available.. doesn't hurt to try bro
They only sign like 1 or 2 players
Wtf what kind of league is the USL not taking care of their injured players they just kick you out like that well we don't need you anymore that's TUFF!
I wish the best for you man. Your channel is very inspiring. Stay strong.
I play left back and have been dealing with a meniscus and hip flexor injury for over 3 months. Thanks for sticking with the videos man! They help so many people out there and inspire me to not sit on my lazy ass and cry about it lol
we are as a family behind you... been there always with this platform of you tube...keep fighting ...luv u
Love the openess Matt, really really brave and honest of you.
Appreciate the honesty man. You seem like a super driven person and I’m sure you will get a team, your that American Azpilicueta lol I’ve had an ACL and two meniscus tears with two surgeries so I know the feeling. Just got to take one day at a time and stay positive!
no worries never look at all the dark, just focus on your one dream and absolutely never give it up, much love bro
I understand where you're coming from. I've been having achilles tendonitis for sometime now and I ruptured my achilles 2 years ago before I had a trial down for the Charleston Battery. I bounced back 100%, at least I thought so. It has healed but every now and again it gives me problems and I tell myself that I can get through it regardless but in reality I'm scared because what if this time it won't rupture and it actually tears and pops. I just gotta stay positive and don't think on anything negative about it or else eventually that's just going to bring me down and I'll lose my motivation. But I believe in you man and you can definitely do this, You have already made your dream come true just stay patient and trust the process.
I agree with you man. This sport is amazing but incredibly difficult as well. Keep working hard and your time will come, you're an amazing player. Don't worry.
Cheers.
Man that part about injuries and faking it was the most real and relatable thing I've ever heard any pro say. I'm going through a very similar recovery right now; had a hernia repaired and now my lower abdomen feels great but my groin gets extremely painful whenever I play/train for longer than 45 mins. It's frustrating going to surgeons and doctors and them just telling you to wait. I'm 22 and was planning on tryout for teams in Hungary over the summer but that's looking more and more unlikely. Frustration sets in and if you're not positive and have the right mind set, you end up just another failed pro soccer player. Like you said, you've gotta keep that positive mind set when everything is working against you. If you don't believe in yourself, who will right? Keep your head up man and keep working hard. Hopefully one day we'll meet on a professional pitch :)
Love the raw emotion when your talking. It's real 💯. I talked to a MLS player today who was released by his club. It doesn't get easier even in the first division. Keep doing what your doing though.
Thanks matt, i really apreciate you making this video for us. And i hope dont give up on your carreer, you have a lot of potential keep up the relentless work.
Great video, definitely gave me a new insight of the game. Thank you so much for showing this to everybody
Matt you have an insane work ethic I know you will get a contract Your great your a role model for me I practice everyday and have become one of the best players on my team it’s a grind it’s hard going to my first tryout was like this I’m on the journey people say you’ll never make it but I go outside and work you got this Matt!!,
your work ethic is on another level matt i know you gonna get a team,i know youre gonna get 100% soon good luck matt! hope everything goes on your way man i truly believe on you!
Best video ever, Matt! Very inspirational, and your honesty and patience are helpfull for me
Dont give up brother! I see that you're a really hardworking man who does the extra which some ppl dont even bother. Keep it up! Im sure times would get better💪💪
Great video Matt. I relate so much because earlier in the year I tore my MCL back to back and was out 5 months. I missed all my tryouts, had no team, and was genuinely scared, but I kept positive. I kept positive, trained as best as I could because of my injury, and now six months later I'm on a good team into semi-finals of our cup run and I am doing well in the college recruiting aspect as well. Thank you for the video, very inspirational and everything will work in the end.
Grind to shine really. Plus I think alot about Ur success is location and timing. Just keep waiting bro
Love your brutal honesty I really hope things work out for you
Great video Matt!! You're one the Most transparent people I've seen.
Thanks for keeping it real Matt.
The only thing you can do is go with the flow but stay in control
Matt, you are an amazing role model. Keep doing what you're doing, you will get there!
I feel you matt, I'm still recovering from a torn mcl from AAU and bighscool basketball. Toughest times of my life constant set backs but stay a course and believe in your self and we will get there togeather
Really appreciate your open attitude to us and to the game, Matt. It’s awesome to watch and hear this stuff right from the horses mouth. I’m confident you can get it done for 2018 man, best of luck! Keep the great videos comin!
Keep working hard and keep grinding Matt it will all pay off!!
Your channel is so honest. There is nothing like this on CZcams!
Thank you for this type of video this is really motivational and keep up the good work
Always enjoy coming back to your videos. Glad to see you are still posting and training. Excited to see what else you share. BTW which of your videos do you recommend for someone that is interested in conditioning during the off season and moving again? Wish you the best.
Brilliant video Matt thanks for this!🙏🏼
Hey,Matt ! I just want to say that I feel you 100%. This is the reality of being a football player... but you gotta keep going, quit is not an option ! I had a knee operation in mid 2016 and coming back from a serious injury is really hard. Especially when the team decides to release you, because you got injured ( I was in the same situation) . Going to trials and looking for a new team is really stressful, I have experienced this and I really understand your struggle, because you always wonder what if I don't find a team and all those thoughts ... but you have to be positive in those moments and you will make it ! I remember when I was abroad, far away from family and friends ..waiting to get a trial and find a new team. those moments are tough, but they either make you or break you .. You have to believe in yourself !!! Keep posting those REAL videos, because it shows what the reality of being a football player really is ! Wish you all the best bro 💪🏻 I believe in you !
Love your realness bro! Giving your audience a real perspective to make decisions if this is something they want to sacrifice for. Respect!
Don’t worry Matt you will find a team just keep pushing never stop!
Fake it till you make it. There is always what ifs, but what if you find a better team and a better way. People always dwell on the negative what ifs and we leave those positive what ifs alone. Those are what you need to dwell on. I have a tryout myself coming up in a month and I'm trying to get back on the pdl and pro scene after a few years away. Gotta push, and keep that positive energy.
Matt, you continue inspire me.
Keep going brother. If you keepngping and you take care of yourself phsyically anf mentally, you will eventually get there.
Go trough it, you can do it! You are MLS worthy and still growing everyday. Keep faith in yourself and you will find success again.
Looking good out there in your training. A lot more mobile with the box jumps.
See it in your mind’s eye as already been in a team, and focus on what’s working, 100 and 1 things could go wrong yes, BUT energy flows where attention goes! Best of luck to ya!
We will be supporting you each day no Matter what! Just keep going and don't let your dream die! If the US opportunities don't appear you should search in another countries like Norway as a lot of subscribers wrote in the past comments, keep it up bro!
I have Anxiety, so playing is really hard, having confidence and being able to perform without being nervous. Your video helped to think about it with a different perspective.
You're an inspiration keep working hard
Keep ur head up high believe in ur ability and keep doing what ur doing if u made it to one team ur definitely gonna make it to another
Man this is so inspiring. Not only pro soccer player, which I dreamed I could do, but also any professional, fake it like you believe it. You are amazing, keep going! I really enjoyed your video.
It will all work out. Just keep doing what’s in your control and the other stuff will fall in place if it’s meant to be. Just keep pushing!
You’ll get something Matt! I see what you are capable of and a coach will too
I can relate to everything you said about dealing with injuries. I tore my hamstring for about a year ago, and it won`t heal properly. Really frustrating to play 70% of max all the time, in fear of getting injured again . I hope you eventually will recover fully! Also, i understand how hard it is to get a VISA for playing over in Europe, but have you ever thought about playing a year in Norway? I belive you could take the level over here, although the climate is something different from what you are used to, hahah!
Dear Matt. I really enjoy following your channel, your life, your dreams, your training and your struggles as well. I have often had the thought of when you will you start to think of a life beyond football. You are 24 now, you work damn hard every single day but you have not had your real break through yet. Maybe it is not your destiny after all. It may sound hard. But life continues and contains lots of values beyond soccer.
The Power of Positive thinking bro. Keep pushing and keep on, We believe in you Bro I dont know if you are religious but I will pray for you everyday. Believe my friend, Believe.
Hey Matt you should check out Norway. For example my local team Honefoss BK is a second division team in Norway. They played in Obos ligaen ( it was called Tippeligaen back then) for 2,3 years ago. Norwegians suck at football, so we rely on people like you to help us. XD Short but true. The footballers in Norway get paid really well even though they play like shit. The division is so weak because most of the norwegians players dont work as hard as you for example.
Look at Martin Ødegaard. 15 years old he was dominating the league, ofc he was good but also because the league is shit. But still he got bought up by Real Madrid. So you get easily scouted in Norway and if you play good for a season, you may end up in a top team in Europe.
Trails in Norway is super easy. Just go to any top club, 1 division or second, for example Honefoss BK. Send them a email and they most definetly will let you play for 2 or 3 trainings. Honefoss definetly lack in defence and they need a right or a left back. I definetly think you could dominate in that position for Honefoss! Good luck in the future!
Yes SAN I am interested in actually. Could you give me more info. Maybe contact me at my email if you would like I can give it to you
Yeah me too, I'm really interested now, I'm 16, but I do have the money to travel there. I play 3 years above my age as well.
Adam Jamison link to what?
guys its not that easy....
If you're looking for a top division Norwegian team who are actively looking to get people from all walks of life in to the club, check out Stabaek
Thank you for your videos Matt
Good speech bro keep up the good work. All you have to do is have the ball at your foot. all the mental stress you have to remember you're a regular guy do regular shit. When off the pitch. I'm a college, all county and all star player with aspirations of playing pro and also an IQ of 130 and just have a ball at foot bro just keep doing what your doing bro good job. Your speech and situation inspires me to keep going too. I need to see more step overs tho bro 😂😂
Keep at it man something will definitely come up
Good luck matt
You will get a team and will make the next step
I believe in you ❤️
Nothing more real than this video.
You will definitely get a team bro . One of yours biggest fan you are an inspiration to me
I had the same shit with my groin. Pulled it really bad and got a little tear in september. But I was in great shape again in like late december - early january. It sucks but you gotta get through it homie.
That’s how I am this year I broke my foot 7 games in my sr high school season. I have no offers for scholarships rn for soccer I mean D3 and NAIA schools have offered me, but my goal is to play D1 soccer next year but I don’t know what’s going to happen. Pray for me and wish me luck. Good luck Matt!!
Very interested in this video. You’ll get there bro..but where’d you get your foam roller..?
Keep your head up man, something good will come!
For me it was the opposite, I tore my abdominal area all the way through my left groin, but the groin healed in 2 months and the abdomen didn't get better until 8 months after the initial injury. Main lesson learned here is that you need to learn to understand your body so that you can try to prevent injuries. Take more time to do stretches throughout the day (prevention). With pulled ligaments and/or tendons you need to rest and not stretch as much in these more tender areas. Always admire your motivation and hustle, big fan from Toronto.
Keep that head up Matt, you deserve more
Great video Matt
I wish you all the best in the world, we‘re all standing behind you, I believe in you!!! ❤️
Keep training! Greetings from Guatemala
I just been watching you bro I like you advice please keep going.
matt get well soon and youre gonna get back stronger and will have a team
u gonna make it bro :) :) its that kind of thing, who sort the winners from the losers
U got this matt it'll come through in the end
I can relate to your situation so much , except I let it break me , I let my self get out of shape and didn’t train everyday like I used to , got an opportunity and missed it, I train again bc life isn’t the same without , I play everyday whether it be futsal or indoor , about to start a semi pro indoor season and hopefully play spring at my college, my main hope is to get second chance , you have to be prepared for any opportunity that comes your way
Dont worry man! I tore my ACL a few weeks before a trial in europe for a big club, i know the feeling. It isnt worth coming back earlier and injuring yourself more. Head up man!
Don’t worry Matt. Right now I’m going through a knee injury and I worry that I won’t be healed by the time tryouts come.
Man I love your game and your hard work.Don't give up and I believe you'd definitely get a team for 2018.Lots of love from India buddy.
Het matt i just wanted to let you know that i'll be praying fornyounand that you'll make it to the mls and who knows when i get older maybe we'll be on the same team or maybe opponents but good luck.
success is never straight and simple, keep going.
I will pray for you mate .You will find team
Great video! Wish you all the best
you shouldn't feel like your faking anything to yourself, its your mind trying to motivate your body to push through all the negative energy in your head. You got this Matt!
Hey Matt, I don't know if you read these so I'm probably wasting my time, but if you do, I just want to thank you for making these videos and for your honesty. I was able to secure myself a tryout with an NPSL team here in the U.S. thats coming up in a couple weeks, so I can relate to the sort of limbo you must feel you're in right now. Pretty much my entire future is just hanging out in the balance, and it could all come crashing down. Best case scenario is that I make the team, have to move halfway across the country, find a place to live, find a way to actually support myself (npsl is amateur) and do all this while actually fitting in time to train and improve as a soccer player. If everything goes according to plan, counterintuitively, my life will become 1000% harder. But in the worst case scenario, everything stays the same. I stay unemployed, without a team, and without any other options. I have given up virtually everything I have in pursuit of this dream. There is so much weight on my shoulders but I've just been pretending it isn't there. It's crazy to hear you say exactly what I've been feeling, even though I've never been able to explain it to myself. Even though I'll be starting at the bottom of the barrel, a start is a start and it's a step that I have to take. I wasn't lucky enough to have been raised in a soccer family, or to have been brought up through some elite academy, or to have even been born in a country where soccer is a priority, but I still have this immense passion for the game that I developed on my own and am now in desperate need of. I have nothing else. So again, thanks again for sharing your journey with us. It gives people like myself hope that perhaps all of the all of the sacrifices are worth it. If you're interested, I'll let you know how the tryout goes. Who knows, maybe I'll run into you out on the pitch someday :)
Man i want Matt to succeed more than anyone forreal 🙏🏼
Sh*t bro, i haven't experienced half the stuff you been through, but i know about injury(i got an ankle injury and was out for a year) and these same thoughts ran through my mind, will i retire? Will i get back to my previous level? Can i still become a pro? And there's a point where you gotta say f*ck it and just live man, one day at a time, shit is rough for you and what you said is true, just keep being positive bro, it'll work out somehow👍
Yes you're right Matt, keep positive thinking on life because once you think or worrying the negatives it's really dark, and nasty , keep your mind off of negatives that probably gonna happen , just focus on what you can control , by think , talk to yourself positives , rather than think and worrying about your problem, the problem comes by the problem itself , I feel it but I rise from the darkness with positives on my life and the result is I am hungry for new failure , problem , cause I know from that I can be more positive and confidence ,
Matt wish you all the best , may God bless your injury ,problem , and keep positives , keep faking it until you make it 😉
Love you!! Keep at it!
Just keep working hard, Matt. I know I don’t need to tell you for you to do that. All of us believe in you, but that doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in yourself.
Don't worry Matt. In case anything goes wrong.. Become Elite fam is always with you no matter what. We believe in you completely. Thank you Matt! For all that you've done for us
Matt, don't worry about the future and don't bring yourself down, you will find a team. Look for team tryouts. During tryouts try to the best of your ability, Players that have the work ethic and the skill you have usually will find a team regardless if you get rejected by another. It will be hard for me im 15 and i want to go professional and i work every day on myself and my mentality, i realize how hard it is, i want to play in the top leagues like la liga, premier league, calcio a, league one, bundesliga, and make my family proud and play internationally for south korea. Matt no homo i love you man. Like you always say listen to your body. You're a right back, if a coach can't see the skill you have as a defender, the coach has been paid by other rb to make the team. Just continue to work, the moment you doubt yourself is when you fail and won't do anything. I will take the risks for myself and for my family, i play the game for my family and for the game. The beautiful game i play is what i will always play. Lots of professional players have been rejected and they never gave up which is the reason all of them have a team they play for. Matt you got this.
I recently had an Injury that left me out of this beautiful game for 4 months, Im still recovering... I had issues with my heart muscle and honestly it sucks! It sucks starting over from 0 and getting fit again. Thank You so much Matt, I can relate.
Dude I think your lucky to be where your at good luck in the real world. Job market is hot.
Use this time to shine. Become better and push past your old self
