How good was Usain Bolt actually? #GOAT

As a professional musician, it’s insane how often people underestimate or dismiss the sheer amount of time, work and talent it takes to be a professional at something… they see Maguire getting dribbled around by Mbappe or someone and assume they could take him to school too, without realizing that to even play in the premier league at all, much less for a top 6 club, you’re a better footballer than 99.99999999% of people…
Good comment
I was looking forward to you giving similar examples of this from your profession
Maguire got to play in epl mainly because he's english
I am forgetting what team it was …..I think it was eintracht or schalke …..one of the fans commented on their social media that he would finish that chance in his sleep or something They invited him and kept making that same pass to him and he kept missing 🤣🤣🤣
@@chigz2 I'm a musician too. I guess a good equivalent could be something like: People think that they could sing or play an instrument, but they don't realize how hard it is to memorize potentially hours of music, you have to be able to write something and improvise to really be one of the greats, and to be truly admired for your skills. Even playing, they think that just because they can hum some Christmas's tunes that they have what it takes to actually "do it" on even a simple "pop" context. Even if you can, it's not enough to do it, you have to make it be easy, you have to show up there and, unlike most other things, a serious mistake is a knife stab. On the studio the band and everyone will be on top of you if you waste a bunch of money and time. Even when it's not difficult it's never not difficult to NEVER mess up. Music is the sports of the short and delicate muscles. The more popular side of music isn't that hard to be honest, but it's still harder than most would be able to perfect, but to be a great professional jazz musician, or classical player or composer is seriously complex... It's like rocket science or being a pro soccer player. Some do it, but good luck with that.
Raw speed is useless without control and as Maradona has taught us control is everything
True never read anything more true
Matadors is ass at dribbling compared to messi
@@Leroyjenkins821why you feel the need to bring Messi in this coversation?
he sure controlled his hand in the world cup, and his drug addiction too.
@@VSMSusi The exception confirms the rule. Then, in the same game he atoned by scoring the.most unbelievable goal of all times. Plus, his drug addiction had nothing to do with performance enhancement
The problem is that he came into this with arrogance but at least he played what he enjoyed
He came with a mix of arrogance, excitement, craziness and self confidence. Self confident athletes like Bolt are crazy enough to believe they can be as great in different sports. Michael Jordan failed at Baseball too.
He wouldn't have embarrassed himself if it wasn't 2 years after his official retirement
the major problem wasnt that, the major problem was simply his lack of talent and that your comment has so many likes / as i see rn most likes here reflects unfortunatly that your / most fans, in % on the internet even more, dont actually understand the sport well. as someone who was close to joining bavarias strongest youth team at that time i know that my level was higher then anything bolt has ever played at yet i was miles, absolut miles away from ever becoming a pro. unlike what was said in the video that pace is the most crucial attribute in football its actually your brain and nothing else. how smart you are to understand the game and your mentality. so many fans make fun of pros but dont understand that even a for example non professional from the 4th league in germany would destroy you in a 1v1 .. and now imagine bolt trying to join the likes of bayern, united etc. he lacked complete knowledge for the game and thats why he didnt even make it at a small ass club. bolt was arrogant yea but he was mainly dumb. any football fan with knowledge knew that there was no shot that he would make it so no one took it serious. many wrong conclusions / explanations in the comment section and video, unfortunatly shows the state of fans.
@@michaelfellner9822 bro you really dedicated to this sport and its plausible BUT even though he lacked a lot of talent, he did play as a kid and with a bit of humility he would tried to learn from the guys from central coast and would have been able to play in league 2 .
He is black so all u guys will have a problem with him cause he is the fastest man in the world and black it hurts does it 😂😂😂😂😂
Guys as a Jamaican i can tell u this, we are very jovial and confident. We like to try and fail then laugh. We live our try to have fun all the time. Dont take this act from bolt too serious. He is a very good man, jovial, lively
bless up fambo!
As a fellow Jamaican I co-sign your comment.
Sure, but that doesn't mean you can be disrespectful, delusional and a Jackass by completely effing over an entire sport, league, club and players! He clearly has some issues, one of which is that he suffers from a severe form of Dunning-Kruger effect.
It's not the trying and failing that makes this situation look bad, it's how Bolt tried to blame his lack of talent on other things and came off as a spoilt guy after a payday
Yes, Jamaicans are jovial and that’s all fine and dandy but some of you should also think before being jovial.
The problem was he wanted to be an attacker. There is a higher chance he would have flourish if he had decided to be a Full Back since he has powerful long shot because his leg strength is insane combine with his aerial ability due to his height and speed at recovering against opposing wingers. Almost like a Prime Héctor Bellerín or Kyle Walker.
Bellerin… seriously
More than a full back, he could have been a centre back
@@BernMile5He wouldn’t have made it as a professional footballer in any position. It’s the biggest sport in the world with by far the largest talent pool. Incredibly hard to make it as a professional, so you can’t just change over from running to being a professional footballer just cos you’ve got amazing athletic ability. You need to have been playing from a young age; being coached and trained by professionals and playing against the best kids in your age group from a young age. No-one is just gonna transition into football like that, never mind how fast they are
@@westington1 This. I have a kid who has trained since 6. I am in Portugal, one of the countries with best youth coaching. People have no idea how the high the level it's going to get. To think you can come in as an aftercareer and compare to guys who have done it for 20 years and are 6 years younger than you... good luck. The tactical awareness alone takes a decade or more to hone in. But I guess he can run in a straight line so let's just give him a champions medal.
Prime Bellerin 😂😂😂😂😂
Saw him play in Australia, and he showed very, very odd glimpses when he was able to get into a full sprint. Mostly though, it was pretty poor. At the end of the day though, he put himself in the spotlight to try it even knowing that it was a huge outside chance of ever happening, especially at the age he was, and you can't help but respect that, even if you can't exactly respect the way he went about it. I want to believe there could be pathways to the professional game for people that are outside of the manufactured highway into the game we have now, where your opportunities to progress are as much about politics and who knows who as they are about pure talent and/or hard work. Probably coming in as a huge celebrity isn't the right way though.
I think he genuinely believed he could just stroll up and become a pro footballer! His talent had carried him so much as a sprinter that he had an inflated sense of his potential in another discipline. Skill sports require a decade of practice though so it was never realistic. Not sure what it's like in Australia but in many parts of the world players often come through from difficult backgrounds, street football etc.
@@JB-sf6sz Players come from difficult backgrounds, sure, but they're still by and large funneled into the same pipeline if they have any actual talent. It's in the academy pipeline that politicking is rife and genuinely talented players fall through the cracks. Anyway, I think to an extent Bolt both believed his own hype, and had a dream of playing professionally and knew that hyping himself up was the only realistic way he might achieve it. Personally I think it started out as a joke, then progressed to testing the waters, then eventually he started to believe it himself.
@@VodkaHellstorm I'm not familiar enough with the academy system but that would be a shame if talent was slipping through the cracks. Given the financial incentives to produce a good player you'd hope that all talent would be prized and nurtured. In the UK there's the occasional non league player that works their way up to the top level but that's the only example of an alternative route I can think of. Regarding Bolt, what leads me to think that he mainly believed his own hype was that he was such a global superstar that it must have been difficult to retain a sense of reality. The comparison can be made to Michael Jordan, another superstar who also attempted to switch sports to baseball late in his career, without great success. Bolt wasn't renowned as a great trainer either, rather relying on his talent in a sport where talent can carry you a long way. I could see this leading to a delusional self belief. Then the comments he made early on about wanting to play for Man Utd seemed sincere to me. It was certainly fun to see him try and in the end reassuring that even superstars meet their humanness.
@@JB-sf6sz It's obviously not a wholesale statement that applies to every pathway, for every exploitative agent or greedy coach there are genuinely good people who only want the best for the game and the people who play it. But you only need to look at the recent scandals around the USMNT to see the kind of politicking that does go on. I don't want to besmirch a current professional based on personal anecdotes, but I will share this. I had a mate who played in the sports institute system in Australia as a teenager, one of his contempories is a current Socceroo who, within that system was known to have an attitude because he already knew he had his pathway virtually secured. He was and is obviously a talented footballer, but he wasn't the most talented nor the hardest worker in that system, and he would slack off on his development as a result of knowing he had a bright future. It's hard to blame the guy for doing that when he was a kid. The issue for me is that unknowable quantity of players who could have been greats of the game, or at the very least could have eked out a respectable professional career, who missed out on that opportunity because they were given too many bad promises, saw too much money and fame too fast, didn't have the right connections or the right timing. That is what I would define as "slipping through the cracks." So many of them become disillusioned with the sport all together, which is heartbreaking. How many teenagers have we seen billed as the next big thing, only to disappear because the kind of pressure and limelight thrust upon a child is too much for them? The disillusionment for me comes from the fact that football is billed as this ultimate meritocracy, where you're only as great as the work you put in to become so. But actually it seems pretty far from the truth.
@@VodkaHellstormthat sucks to hear, it does make you wonder. Then again politics and bad eggs will always exist to some degree everywhere. I'm not sure a pure meritocracy exists in anything in life but football would be better than most. For every player that makes it there are stories of players who were better but went off the rails, got injured, or distracted etc. There is certainly a common denominator of extreme determination in those that get to the top, but they still require opportunity and coaching. It's like when they set up an academy in Ivory Coast and suddenly a string of legendary players emerge. Or when even a freak talent like Thierry Henry credits the coaching at Clairefontaine for making it as a player. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole then there's a book called Bounce, it's pretty convincing in explaining how with the right mentoring and practice regime you could be world class in many skills/sports. From that perspective the amount of lost sporting potential is much bigger than we might think.
In 2024, he actually has a shot at MU. I mean, he wouldn't stand out.
It's funny cause it's true
😂😂😂😂😂
I remember being doubtful of his chances, but also wanted him to succeed because I’m a fan of his. Football does have some interesting and different stories.
Please do the story of Puyol, thank you!
Yes please, waiting for that one still
And Inzaghi
The Catalan shark
The title "most humble captain in football history"
I second this
Daley Thompson tried to become a footballer after his athetics careers, but he did it the right way. He joined Reading reserves and tried to work his way up. But, although he had been a talented youngster and had actually had trials at several professional clubs, it was too late for him to pursue a career.
And Daley has a much better physique for football, since he trained across so many different sports. Probably faster over the first 10 yards than Bolt too. Daley ran 10.2 at his best, which was incredible for a decathlete
Not sure what's the point of this video? Lol I usually love your content but, trashing him like you did in this video is unnecessary. No one in the professional football world believed Bolt would actually be an elite footballer. He achieved everything and beyond in his sport and wanted to give his dream a shot, and why not. The guy had the fame, money and status to give it a go. Was he overconfident about it? Sure, but how is that different from his sprinting days? He was literally the most cocky/over-confident athlete on the track lol, that was no breaking news. This self-belief is what makes the greats who they are. He approached his football career in a similar way, you can't change that mindset, he's a winner. If anything, it's pretty commendable that he even gave another sport a go, especially one as hard as Football, after his immense career. Yes he wasn't successful, but it's easy to look back on others' failures and ridicule it. At least he will die happy knowing that he gave his dream a chance.
clickbait video
I hate channels like this they love making people look bad
He's fast, really fast. He's so fast, he makes fast people look not fast.
Muller modric ericson - you can win the fast medal. I am happy with my 3 points .
I'm no Olympian, but I was the second fastest runner in my region in the 100m at 16...and I couldn't handle a pass to save my life. They put me on defense and stapled me to that end of the pitch. Bolt is a legend and doesn't need more trophies.
Usain Bolt should have tried out cricket as a 2nd sport, not football. He has said in interviews, cricket was his first passion and wanted to be fast bowler growing up. And he actually has the physique and obviously the speed to be a decent fast bowler. From the little I have seen of him in charity games with professional cricketers, he has the basic skills to play cricket professionally. He even bowled out professional cricketer and fellow Jamaican Chris Gayle in a charity game once. So instead of playing in the A-League, he should have played in the Big Bash League, which was offered to him by Melbourne Stars when cricket legend Shane Warne was playing with them.
Winfred that Jamaica coach at the time was a mad man 😅😅 I'm speaking as a Jamaican who had to live through him being our national coach
oh as a Thai person I love Winni, the Thai FA board are just too dumbination thick to see his worthiness and fired him
Bloodclaat 😂😂😂
i thought Whitmore was still manager of Jamaica. i loved Whitmore and Goodison when they played for Hull city. great players
John Candy is the coach you need
Let’s be honest, current Man United could use someone like Bolt to replace one of their players or to at least improve their squad.
Come on, he couldn't play for Hastings Utd or Dover Athletic.
If speed is the most important quality a footballer can have then Theo Walcott would have won the balon dor.
yall it’s a joke calm down
bring my grandma over to the current man united and she can improve their squad. United is shit right now
Even Maguire in his worst year is better than Bolt
His running career was coming to an end and this was a great way to keep the PR machine going, and thus keep sponsorship deals in place and keep the $$ rolling in whilst still having a laugh and doing what he enjoyed. I firmly believe he knew he was never going to be a professional football player, the guy was smart and just wanted to keep himself in the media
Yeah, but he insulted some million people in the process: All those who dealt with him, and the fans too, so, not really a good person, sounds more like an asshole to me...
Seeing Mudryk on the pitch reminds me of Bolt.
ukraine bolt
I think Bolt might have been better playing defense. As much as speed is required in playing as a winger, you have to have great dribbling and ball control to he a good one. As a defender, his speed would help him beat fast attackers, and His long legs and height would help winning aerial duals and making tackles.
To be honest, he was even better than I thought he would be. He started at an age when many players are retiring.
Yeah, at least he got near to Australian Pro level. Nothing amazing, but still good for starting late and having few experience besides the schoolyard
in fairness tho he only got that far cos of his fame status, if we was evaluated based purely on his talent in football he wouldn't have got near that level@@user-kx7ls8ds9j
@@user-kx7ls8ds9j oh please they signed him to make money of his notoriety. "he almost made it to australian pro" not for the good reasons
Now he can try it again.. They will definitely select him now😂😂😂
love the vids, your my fav football channel
To be honest I think he would've had a better chance at cricket than football Edit: Bear in mind I said he'd do better I never said he'd do good he was already pretty bad in football
I mean he can take few singles, but cricket is all about shots. Perfect middle of the bat shots. He will surely struggle to even connect the ball with his bat when the bowler will bowl 150+ kmph.
Or in the dance industry as Magic Bolt
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313😂😂😂
@@desi.ai.online I think with his height and pace he can be a good bowler
Cricket is even harder . Not to play just to understad the rules. And 150+ balls are no joke. May be he can spin the ball. But the bar is too high for even a spinner. And you you need batting skills to a degree too.
Peter crouch is 2 metres tall long legged and played with the ball at his feet and scored a couple of outstanding overhead kicks played for multiple Premier league clubs including Liverpool and also turned out for England.
He didn’t start playing at 32 bro
Zlatan and Haaland are 195 cm just like Bolt. So...
Yeah, Crouchie had fantastic touch, he just didn't look elegant playing but was very, very good. We loved him at Liverpool, and not just as a cult hero - I still believe we'd have won the CL in '07 if he'd started. He's a massive exception though. Incidentally, my favourite goal of his was against Arsenal where he brought the ball out of the air with one foot, onto the other moving it sideways and then slotted it - it was a thing of beauty.
Just found your channel yesterday and I've been binge watching your videos. I watched your earlier videos and it seems your English has improved nicely since then too. Great job man.
Footballers run with a couple of things on their minds, for example, running while trying to keep the ball 'handy', or running while trying to judge the destination of a pass. Track runners like Usain Bolt only have one thing on their mind: the finish line, which affords him all the concentration he may need.
Great video. keep it up.
bro has NOT watched the whole vid in 5 mins
Sending love from Jamaica! 😅 our boy was only bored, it was a good thing to see from him. even though most of us here in Jamaica was against this lol
Love your vids please do one on Thomas muller
He had a remarkably similar story with the game of cricket. He appeared in the cricket press commentating on things, saying who his fav players were. He played charity matches and with small, local teams in Jamaica. He made some public statements, joined the Australian cricket team as a kind of athletic coach for a little while (mostly publicity I think!). He had some signing as a celebrity player for an Australian team. I think it was the Melbourne Renegades. He trained and made a few background appearances, had some marketing publicity milked from him before he was quietly let go without ever appearing on the field in a match. He said he was a fast bowler in highschool and had a lot of pace but needed to work on control.
Love your vids watching from Ghana Africa
This was such a great video. I wish I hadn’t slept on it for so long
Big fan,bro ❤❤❤❤
I knew this video must be about Usain Bolt boss who is the fastest sprinter in the world,should have been continuing his trademark sport which is sprinting in his lifetime,play football with his male friends and be an ambassador of the sprint sport,good friends!!!:-D
Good work bro.....Can you please make vidéo about Oleg blokhin ...

Without specialized training, the fastest professional football players can run the 100 meters around 11.20 seconds (with exact automatic time keeping, and from the starting blocks)!
A guy on my high school team did track on the side and ran a 22.6 200, never ran the 100 but could probably run around 11.2-11.3
He "did track" = specialized training!
I dunno why but this is my favourite video on the internet, watched it so many times but I keep watching it over again
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this video is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 man I didn't expect this at all.. I love both football and Travk and Fields, this collaboration wasn't what I expected at all 😂😂😂
I’m not sure if you have already, but can you do the story of Francisco Villanova? I think it’d be a great video thanks ❤
I remember hearing about him training with Dortmund and hoping against all hope that he made it. I think anybody who played FIFA at the time would have been eager to try him out at least for the novelty.
Bolt playing Pro football is no more embarrassing than social media "personalities" fighting in professional boxing.
This was clearly done for publicity, but I don't think there would be any shame in a professional athlete trying and failing at a different sport they love.
A video on the Motherwell Scottish Cup winning team and how some have sadly past on. Including dying on the pitch
its a genuine attempt to reach his dream, even if he can't make it its not embarassing for me. he's the fastest man on earth, people who makes fun of him will never touch him.
It makes it even more embarrassing
a Jamaica special nice😊
The KZheadr's voice sounded like German and also like Werner Herzog in boondocks cartoons. Who remember the voice?
Bro please make Video On Ruud Gullit❤️
Am waiting for that Ravel Morison and Ricardo Fuller 👍
Trying anything new should never embarrass you!
Had a friend in Curacao🇨🇼 he did track&field and looked the same as Usain Bolt he was pretty fast😅 Was some good times man👏🏿
🇨🇼 Nice man. Do you also know Churandy Martina??
He would have been a great match for Admiral-General Haffaz Aladeen.
Chasing a ball and chasing a finish line is different. Same same but different. 🎉
No one remember Bolt for such stunts. Nobody even knows he ever played football. He tried something it didn’t worked, no worries. A lot of people do that in life. When you hear the name Bolt, what comes to mind is the greater sprinter of all time. That’s his legacy✨
Hopefully you can have a content about Philip Lahm in the future.
Tbh jamaica have players now. Leon bailey is amazing, antonio is good at west ham, decordova reed at fulham, a luton player I think. They also have damarai gray from played at everton I think. I also forgot bentfords cb ethan pinnock. Thats a good team for such a poor region tbh. On paper look better than canada and maybe even mexico
Gray plays in saudi i believe
Week 1 that I ask you to do a video on Vasillis Chatzipanagis
Imma be honest,with the current state of United id take him
Lol true
Do the story of zaha and Douglas costa
Id love a Seydou Keita video!!!!
In Jamaica they practice a lot of voodoo. Bolt must have casted juju on ManU after they rejected him.
I greatly to see you talk about someone from my country
i love how the last sound of the video is a laughter, because it's exactly the sound I made at the end !!!!! Maybe he should have tried as a goal keeper !!!
Could you make a Video about Xavi Alonso and how he buillt up Bayer Leverkusen?

Well they said the same about David Bellion, but SAF signed him up to the Man Utd first team squad.
First plus always a great day when this legend uploads. Btw not saying this for likes 👍
Do the story of Adebayor please
Game understanding is by far the most important aspect in football. After that comes control, passing and then speed.
Running with ball & running without ball is different not alone control the ball when you received it when you run without ball.
14:27 “only 3 months after arriving not only was bolt leaving already…”🤣
10:01 he’s not supposed to run up to the ball during a goal kick
please make a video on inzaghi
Running on a track with sprinting shoes is different from running with boots while controlling a ball . There is no comparison .
Story of Puyol next.
I would love to see content about Paul Scholes.
I like the fact that he tried to get out of his comfort zone and do something that makes him happy

He should have tried to play as a professional goalkeeper tbh, they have more longevity and if his reflexes are good then he could have made it, I suppose it was below his ego. 🤷♂️
That would have been even worse. A 32 year old man trying to train as a goalkeeper?
I disagree, being an outfield player would be harder
😂😂😂😂 Oh man hus quotes have me in tears 😂😂😂😂
Great video. The fastest players would be much quicker than 11 seconds for 100m though. Theo Walcott ran 10.6 as a teenager and Adam Gemili around 10.2 before he switched from football to sprinting, for example
Rubbish - Walcott ran around 11.50 seconds and Gemili clocked some 11.20 s when he was only a semi-professional football player!

Wild to think someone who trained to run super fast in a straight line isnt so good at deceleration and rapid acceleration at different angles and what not
Best quality videos 8th comment
He could likely get $3m per year in the Saudi Pro League... Goalkeeper training is very different to outfield players - he already hits the height requirement, now he just has to learn how to jump and fall without injuring himself.
Would probably be do well at United now looking at their current form
he still plays some event games here and there
This video is a serious reality check to all the social media footballers and managers who think they can tell professionals..
Do Rashford
Try get someone to stop you from running past them without a ball (football rules so no tackling etc). Then do it with a ball at ur feet. Difference between bolt and someone like Messi is the way they can move with the ball at feet.
This video must be a comedy coz IM DYINGGG 😂😂😂
It's also slightly unfair on the footballers to compare Bolt's average speed to their top speed. Sprinters are training for focused 100m and 200m runs. Players are training for 90 min games, and covering 10km-14km per match. If Bolt trained for football instead, his sprint speed would reduce. If players switched to sprint training, their maximum speed would increase. There was a serious of tests comparing CR7 with an Olympic Sprinter. The Sprinters was faster in a straight line, but Ronaldo was faster through chicanes. It is not as simple as saying one type of athlete is faster than another. Their body adapts to their activities.
I wish he played in Central Coast Mariners at least for one season.
I feel part of his failure in football is because Bolt has achieved so much in running that we all expect him to go to premier league and perform at the highest level just like that. make no mistake, given his abilities Bolt would beat 95% of the world population in football, but when you put him up against the best in the world, his skill will come in short. I feel that he is a victim of his former fame, we expect so much from him even though we know this is not his forte.
