I learned a really good lesson the past few months that has drastically changed the way I play. I travel a lot and because of this, I miss training a lot, and I miss team practices that I really want to be a part of. Unfortunately though, I have to miss practice, and find a way to still become better and improve without having my team by my side.
That's when I learned that by training alone, and training on your own, not only has a ton of benefits, but I have improved a whole lot more and a whole lot faster because of these 8 reasons.
So if you're ever feeling discouraged, and need a way to become better at soccer, then watch this video!

Where are you all from??
Am from the Gambia,west Africa ❤ an thanks for that
Mexico 🇲🇽
Minnesota, btw love the vids❤
I’m from Canada 🇨🇦
Country of jordan
Gonna need this. Football is my dream and this video motivated me more. I train alone a lot as I have like no one to train with other than practice. America is hard to become a good soccer player. Thank you
You got this! I’m glad this video motivated you! It’s tough training, let alone training on your own, so I hope you keep at it and I expect to hear back from you when you’re playing in the big leagues 😏👏
If you think america is hard then come to India lol i train on concrete in a small parking lot barefoot
If America is hard then come to my country which u maybe haven't heard of. I train alone inside my small room with a ball which I have to give air everyday + I also get scolding from my Mom for playing in home when I don't get permission to go out to play/practise
@@SoccerWithMarat hey, Im in a Australia how do i get scouted from all those europe clubs in australia?
@@Zafwannabe bruh india has sunil chetrri what does nepal have?🥲
I'm here to confirm that. I was a lazy player, shy with big anxiety, not good enough technically nor physically with a feeling that i deserve more, but a piovital moment for me was 11 months ago when I had a horrific arm injury during a match. This was a reality check for me, a slap from God to wake me up and start taking responsibility for my football and self development. That was the moment when I realized that I had the potential for big things only if I'm consistent, push hard no matter what, to silence everyone who is not ok with my decision of becoming a pro footballer and start caring about myself. For 8 months now, I've been training individually every day, and I have improved massively. I can admit that now I'm far better than my past self before the injury, and I'm still recovering from my injury, and I'm not training in a team. Soon, hopefully, I will return back to the pitches, and they won't be ready for me. I'm gassed to say that😊.
Hey Im proud of you! I think I have to do that. Glad that you have done that, hopefully you cook on the pitch
@vedranzuvela Thanks, man. I really appreciate it.
@@kaloyan7836 Btw, Im looking for drills to do by myself? Can you give me examples? im 12 and looking for some drills to improve my perfomences
@@vedranzuvela Just use ur imagination and do the things that u are not good at. There's nothing really special.
@@kaloyan7836 Hmmmm ok. But I mean Like what if you have no cones or a big back yeard to train on and not a big space... Im struggling with that
Your advice came in my left ear and out the right
Something ive noticed about training on your own is that you build such a strong bond with the ball. Its almost like a relationship. Like training alone just hits different, especially whe. Youre consistent with it. Great video btw!
I love that way of thinking, it's so true! Initially the ball is annoying because you suck, but once you understand how it moves, and get into flow state, it's such a fun and enjoyable experience
Tbh I used to even sleep with my ball next to me ⚽️😴
@@realstazzidamn that hits, i used to do that too
I severely couldn't agree more! Like really and truly, work on your own strengths and weaknesses is almost everything! Well done! 🙏🏾🔥
Absolutely!
remember me when you go pro dude, i have faith in you ❤
This motivates me more than anything ive ever seen I truly hope that you make it bro

Hey marat as a young CB youve inspired me so much. Im going to my first semi pro open trial this summer, i couldn't have gotten here without your advice tysm!
YOOOO!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!! Super happy for you and I hope to keep hearing about your journey, it means the world seeing people like you crush it, and it would be an honor being able to watch and support you every step of the way
DAMN KEEP US UPDATED BRO
Always quality content!! Keep up the grind!!
Thank you! Working to make the best for you guys
Thanks for this, I've always been worried that I'm not making the most out of my solo training sessions and really hope I can get some better guidance!
You can do it!
This has seriously motivated me to train alone and training alone just hits different you know, thank you thank you for opening my mind about this method of training ❤❤❤
So happy man, stoked to see you crush it now🙏
@@SoccerWithMarat thank you for replying to me, I will crush it this year for real.
This really helped me because i am currently struggling in team practice and i realised that i don't always have to wait my team training to come around, and instead of waiting i can improve myself by training alone which would develop my skills at my own pace and eventually catch up to the team training and adjust to their style of play.
YES!! exactly!! I’m happy that you got the point🔥
@@SoccerWithMarat Thanks 💯
im sure ur an inspiration to a lot of people Marat keep it up
Thanks Joe Rogan 😂
I've been training alone all winter and I have gotten way better than I once was. I still have a lot of work to go because I don't play as well in the games as I do when I am training but I am going to keep going. Nice video
Yes!! I did the same as well, trained hard off season, came back with noticeable improvement. My lesson I learned: Train even everyone else doesn’t
@@SoccerWithMarat Yes I agree like I'm not on the top team which I think makes sense because before tryouts last year I was not as into the game I kinda just played to play but I decided I wanted to get really good and I've been working really hard all year. I hope I will do much better in tryouts next year and do much better in my game this weekend. I feel like I only played ok in the games so I am going to start training harder
Do it! Let me know how the game goes, keep crushing it 🤜
My one of the biggest dream to become a professional footballer. I am training alone everyday. And i have trust that i will be successful one day and i will be a professional footballer one day 💪⚽
You GOT this homie 🤜
i can agree with this. i go to my middle school practices everyday, but when i play by myself, i feel like i get a lot more done.
i also agree a lot with the 6th reason. sometimes i just don’t want to be embarrassed or judged so i just play to avoid mistakes, instead of to get better.
@@whinybilly523 you need to make mistakes to become better though. don't avoid tough challenges, challenges make you better not being in your comfort zone
Hey man that’s awesome, I like trying things on my own when I’m just learning so I understand you too! 😂

Wow it’s an honor to hear that
Yes!
THIS is going viral

You should make a video about whatever those vr ball drills you do and you could even make it members only😉 Im from Georgia USA
Wow! I used to play soccer in Georgia! I love that area of the US, you are in a REALLY good area Haha I love the idea, I should!
It's Better to improve with team, teamwork makes the dreamwork (Football is teamsport 11 players 11 positions 11 dreams 1 goal) !
Agreed! But you won’t be with your team every day most likely! Most people spend 3-4 days a week with their team. And each of those training sessions may only last 2 hours. So out of 168 hours a week, you’re only getting to train with them for 6. So imagine being able to train double that, or triple that, that’s what I’m referring to 😏
@@SoccerWithMarat W
Yo good video gave me some motivation to keep pushing.Any tips to stay on the wing as my coach puts me as CB when i normally play wing
Aye thanks man! Why does he play you as a CB when you typically and prefer to play wing?
@@SoccerWithMarat Im a winger but he puts me as a centre back as im better at defending and i cant finish like a winger any tips to get better at crossing and finishing
@@Footballislife961 So he sees you as a better defender. Do you enjoy playing winger more? If so, working on finishing and crossing is going to be your best friend. You can't make him guess that you may be a good winger, you need to make him so confident that you are his absolute best choice as a winger. Once that is the case, he will find a better defender, and bring you back to the position you enjoy more
Thank you
i dont play football but Ill defo keep this in mind to try to train for my sports that i play.
What sport do you play?
@@SoccerWithMarat cricket mainly, and hockey for the start of winter. Cricket is my main goal and what Im trying to go pro in.
What advantages do you think AG boots have over just turf shoes on those synthetic pitche? I'm wondering if the grip on the ball is any better. thx
I play futbol, but, i have only played for a year, I’m watching all these tutorials so I can get better. I am a short and skinny and medium pace player, I don’t have a team, all my peers do though. I hate watching my peers have teams they can play with, while I have nothing, except a goal in my backyard, but after watching this video, I have gained so much motivation. Although I practice alone, i will learn from my peers, and get better, trust me. My own family has a great passion for futbol. They are way better, I want to be just as good as them, one thing that motivates me is that I’m better than some of my relatives, (cousins) they say, “bro you have 99 pace, defending, shooting, and dribbling!” Which motivates me a lot. But, I play with my peers from school, and they are better, so much better. It makes me cry myself to sleep, asking myself, “Why am I so bad?” Now I have adapted from that. No more whining, I WILL go pro.
I’m proud of you man, you can do it! ⚽️🤜
@@SoccerWithMarat ty bro
I train alone for 1 hour every 1 or 2 days (usually). Sometimes a see a couple friends come down and it can turn into 2, 3, or even 4 hours sometimes. It can be shattering afterwards though.
It's always fun training with friends, Good stuff though man!
Quick Question Mate! I’m a right footed inverted left winger on my local team. My strong suits are pace and scanning the field if I were to focus on a few drills what would they be? Keep up the great work Bruv!!!
THANK YOU!! I feel as if you gave me the "Bruv" card and I want to use it in a video now hahaha. But yes there's a few drills that work best for inverted left wingers. Have you tried: "Cut and Shoot Drills" "1v1 to Cross Drills" and some "Inside Channel Combination Drills" ? I'll have to make a video about it because I also play on the wing and do these all the time. It's EXTREMELY helpful and effective
I need this
Please read this you need to practice alone and focus energy into your legs imagine it going to your legs and having a focus point in everything you do to learn how to properly kick and touch the ball
W vid underrated
w comment underrated
@@SoccerWithMarat absolute W advice🗿
This was a great video (prediction)😂
Try to lower that background music. Overall good video
Hi brother, which part of laces exactly you connect with for long distance and height. I cant hit like that 😞
not gonna lie, i started playing soccer about a year and a half ago (i wanted a new hobby) and get obsessed with it. i thought it was completely normal to be playing everyday and by your self it’s weird to hear it isn’t since it’s so much fun.
Man I love that you commented this, it’s a refreshing point of view! I think for people who grew up playing and training to go pro see it more as a fun version of work, but I really see it not only as a fun version of work, but like you, and like a hobby that I can play endlessly
I love your videos
I luv u
even though scrimmages are more helpful for fast improvement, you made good points
Training alone Skills: 📈 Teamwork: 📉
My son wasted so much time by going to a ''dribbling'' class 6 days a week. What a waste that was. He now only goes ones a week to this club, just to stay in touch and see how he stands in between others his age group. He also goes 2 times a week to the local FC and he is the youngest in his class but is almost always the top scorer. He practices alone or with me once a week for 90 minutes and he improved so much. Sending the ball back and forth at the some leisurely pace did nothing. I made him run. I made him run full blast with the ball. I grilled him with ladders. We passed at game pace speed. He touches the ball over 3000 times per session with me. Going to the local club 5-6-7 times a week will stunt your growth. In the end, you have to run like hell. Dribble like your life depends on it. Burn out every personal session. If you don't feel pooped or sick, you're not training hard enough. You have to love that awesome sensation of staring at the sky when you fall down from fatigue. Once a week is enough, but you have to be in love with hard training. It's all up to the player. If this is too much, just lower your goals and go to an easier club. Nothing wrong with that. You don't need to be pro. Most important is to adjust your workouts to your expectation and enjoy playing until you're 105 y.o..
I think sometimes you have to train more chill. You have to work on new things. And to work on new things you should start slow and gradually build up. But I agree you have to push yourself to the outer limits at times so you can grow. Also (my kid is only 9) but I have found that repetition (regardless of pace) is good. For example I will cross many balls to him and he will finish. This is more about getting comfortable with the setting and reading the ball coming in and understanding which foot and which part of the foot to use. Once that is done then yes maybe increase the intensity, but for kids much of this is new.
One suggestion that I’d make, is focusing less on fitness and more on technique for your kid! As a youngster, they don’t need fitness as much as older folks. But by incorporating fitness into their technical drills and training is the fastest way for them to optimize both skill and fitness! I agree with you though, sometimes it’s just about having a fun and enjoyable time, setting the goal of becoming pro may be daunting, but just having fun is the first thing that really matters 🙂
great vid but one question, how much and where did you get that bundesliga ball, every one i look at is like 130 dollars
I actually got it as a gift during Christmas, I love the ball though, it’s probably my favourite one I’ve had
Hy I'm 15 from 🇿🇦 And I seriously wanna play at the top level 😁 But I'm having trouble with my team so I quit and I wanna train alone for 1 year and get back to my team when I see improvement 🙏 So I believe you can help me alot ❤️
I believe to! As long as you work hard, you can do a lot of things
Love from Nepal sir
Nepal is so cool! 🏔️
Just go find a handball court and you're set. There's a bunch in Santa Fe Springs area
I’ve never played handball but I really want to 👀
Training alone is important but playing small sided games or training with people is far more beneficial, if you’re used to training alone you’re not gonna be used to moving defenders or opponents,also scanning moving opponents and the game will constantly be changing unlike training alone, both are important but training or playing with people is still as important or even more important
Please answer my question, respect Can I join a football team if I don't smoke and never will? Like the team I go to, I see some players who smoke and I fantasize about having to smoke to be a footballer. I'm really good at football and I'm never going to spoil my health doing something like this, do I have a chance to join the team without ever smoking?.
100% absolutely 👍 most professionals don’t actually do that, maybe it’s where you are but when you get in to the biggest clubs, they are extremely conscious about their health
I need to practice receiving the ball aka first touch I once missed a volley in front of my whole school and just thinking about it makes me grind me teeth I don't have a whole lotta space nor a friend nearby, so you have any ideas?
Play using a wall but don’t just do ground passes, pass only in the air and wall and keep the ball in the air the WHOLE time! It’s actually really challenging until you get the hang of it
Juggling
@@SoccerWithMarat I tried it a few times in the past hours but couldn't do it But I'll get the hang of it in a few days (hopefully) I'll update you on the next video :D

I’ll be reaching out to you after you fill out the form so yes!
Nice video but the background music is a bit loud
Understood, and thank you 🫡😭
Marat what are those drills that you do with a vr headset on?
Oooooo I’ve been keeping that a secret from everyone..maybe I should just let you guys know 🤔
ur vids are great tho keep up the great work
But would you have to train with your team at some point for when the match day comes?
Yes absolutely! Training alone only helps you improve dramatically faster, but training with a team helps you evaluate your improvements and progress, it’s important to do both!
If you want to go pro faster, train alone, if you want to go further and better, train together
What happened with the MLS tryouts
im in the uk and just can't find anywhere to train alone, my garden is small and concrete, the best i can do is keepy ups but can't train with goals, anyone know a way i can train on astro or any pitch?
Train wherever! You don’t need anything fancy to get more touches, don’t let manageable excuses be the reason you stop!
@@SoccerWithMarat i do keep ups in my garden and kick against a wall
What we’re you using that vr on the field for
A LOT of things! It’s been a secret that I haven’t really publicly shared or talked about because of how much it’s helped, but maybe I change that 🤔
Rn i have fever, i cant train but after this, i will be on the pitch right away after i will be okay again, remember me guys
Let’s goooo!!!
Hello I have a question how can I get strong and be able to push over the ball every time
You’ll want to learn how to shield a ball properly! Shielding is extremely important, because once you know how to shield, you can protect the ball from people way bigger than you by leveraging your body and gravity, and the only way for them to get the ball is to foul you
nnobody gonna mention the bckground music the whole video.
Are you kazak my brother?
oh boy what is the name of the background song????
I guess cold play by viva la vida
Hey Marat I’m 14, trying my very best to make it and I know this isn’t much info but is 2 hours of training everyday enough?
It’s enough if you maximise that 2 hours. But as you get older, and REALLY pushing to make it to a bigger pro league, then you’ll want to train more. But to make it to a lower level pro league, I think if you maximise your training and train consistently 2 hours a day, you’ll have a much better chance of
@@SoccerWithMarat thanks for answering, at this age, how much do u think I should be training if I’m aiming for pro
You train as much as you can with maximum intensity. When you start to lose focus, you are done for the session. You are better off with a fifteen minute session with full focus than a two hour session shooting on goals unopposed, for example.
which club are you playing for?
Bellevue Athletic FC (Semi Pro team in Washington)
Yo i need this but im in a group that prepares for a league team, i am the best player there and even mayba im better than 1 player there
Keep at it! Training alone will only make you better. If you are the best on that team though, one suggestion would be to find a team who are all better than you. It's a little secret that will force you to play and improve faster. If you don't improve, you don't play, and thats the benefit of never being the best on the team!
Bro plz help me, I decide what to do before the match and right afteri recieve the ball, i get blank
hahaha that happens to a TON of people. It just means that you need to learn how to read patterns more, and analyze how your team and their team are playing faster. Once you can do that, you will be able to make those decisions way faster and it will become more natural. Should I make a video on that?
Should I invest into a personal trainer I'm 16 wanting to play to MLS Next.
If you can afford it and you think you have the potential AND you’re willing to work harder than all your other teammates, then I think it’s worth it!
Does training alone count if my sisters give me advice
Of course haha!
Where do i train properly if i cant aford a pitch
On concrete😅 and no this isn’t a joke..honestly speaking, if you don’t have any proper pitch or field to train on, then anything that is a floor will do. Whether it’s concrete, rug, parking garage etc! You don’t need a pitch to train, you just need your willingness to work 💪
Where's the link?

Yea of course!

You train alone to be on a team bro, it's like saying apples are better than oranges. In my opinion, both are good. Playing high intensity games is best.
I'm saying to train alone ADDITIONALLY to training with your team haha, there are massive benefits to both, but most people just rely on team training!

9 reason: that feeling after doing cold shower after alone training
Cold showers in the morning and sauna at night🤧🤫
yo marat is it true that if you can't juggle a football you can't go pro? my first touch is good bro i just cant juggle
Just train
Juggling helps with awareness and concentration because it is unpredictable, just like a real match, but it does help a lot, so just juggle every day and don't give up because at the start it will feel like you will never be able to juggle, just 30 mins of juggling everyday should be fine.
Juggling is important mailny due to improving foot-eye cordination.Another way of the importance of juggling is that if you are in a team/trial and coach sees you cannot do juggling,Then it will be a big red flag as you cannot do juggling games with your teamates which reduces your chance of being pro
Think of juggling as a basic of the game every pro can do. Passing, trapping, running, basic shooting, basic crossing, basic heading, juggling. It just takes time to improve. When I first started I would spend 30-60 minutes/day out in my parents gravel driveway juggling and went from not being able to do 5, to doing close to 1,000. It is tedious, but it is a skill you never lose through life, and an essential to playing at a higher level for many reasons. The coordination it brings and particularly the benefit of being able to control the ball in many situations out of the air, benefit you a lot at higher levels. Also, it’s just fun, especially as you get into learning tricks 🎉
