“It was obvious from day 1 meeting Mat that he is obsessed with physical development of the soccer player. Having him on staff at Cal Poly Pomona led to a drastic increase in our players speed, power, fitness, and mental toughness. I trust Mat’s expertise that he can make any player a more complete athlete and keep them in the game longer and stronger.”

“Mat has helped my athleticism for soccer so much. He is always thinking outside of the box about ways to train smarter and get better results. I have improved my speed and strength so much under his guidance. With other trainers I always seem to get some kind of injury but with Mat I have managed to stay healthy. Whenever I have a question about the body, Mat is the first person I trust.”

“Mat helped me increase my speed, power, and overall strength and fitness a huge amount in a short time. Working with Mat was unlike any other training for soccer I have encountered and it was very interesting to see the way he combined his knowledge about strength and conditioning, track and field, and soccer. We tested often and rigorously and it was nice to see my numbers constantly improve in all tests as well as witness major improvements on the field where they matter.”

“Mat is the best physical trainer I have come across in my career as a football player. I have played in many countries and I have never seen more improvements in my speed and fitness. Mat has been very helpful with my injuries and players come to him now instead of the therapists when something is bothering them. I wish I knew him at the start of my career and not the end.”

“My name is Bryan Wallace I am a former Jamaican National team player.

I am alo the Assistant Director for United Futbol Club, one of the largest youth clubs in Southern California. My Boys U17′s are the current 2009 Southern California State Champions, and we are now ranked number # 1 in the nation. Mat Herold played a huge part in being a consultant, we could not have reached such great heights without him his expertise in the area’s of soccer specific strength, conditioning, technical speed, and physical speed. Mat Herold’s expertise continues to be a guiding source in all aspects of my coaching career.”

“Mat helped me immensely with my physical preparation for the sport of soccer. He helped me develop quicker feet, run faster, and overall I became smoother with my touches on the ball. Mat’s unique way of combining skill work and strength and conditioning is very hard to find and it definitely had me at my peak fitness specific to the demands of my position as a midfielder.”
Michael Erush: Coach at Loyola Marymount University, Former player for Colorado Rapids, Chivas USA, Miami FC, Hapoel Ashkeleon, Lombard Papa, and Olimpia Balt
“I think Mat Herold is a tremendous asset for my athletes in speed, strength, fitness, and mental toughness. His consultation over the years with many professional players has always been first class. When I was playing professionally, Mat was an invaluable source of advice on how to strengthen specific muscles and important activities in order to stay healthy and improve myself when I was on the road. He has always been a positive role model to many players and coaches. I wish I could have trained with him when I was younger!”
Jose Munoz: Spanish professional player, 2nd Division, Real Murcia
“Mat helped me become more powerful in the first 20 yards which is extremely important for my position as a central midfielder. I was able to stay pain free with his training even though we were playing a lot and doing a lot of interesting plyometrics. I believe Mat has a very good knowledge of the body and how to increase performance for the footballer.”

“Over the years I have experienced training with many trainers and coaches at different levels. Mat’s knowledge about the body has been by far the best and his programs have greatly impacted my career throughout the last few years. Mat has always been fast to heal my injuries but most of all he knows what it takes to get your body to the next level. Mat and I have worked out in the gym together as well as the soccer field and his intensity is something that I value most. He is always looking to get his athletes to push to that next level and reach beyond what they thought was possible. I personally feel Mat is one of the elite trainers and can offer something to anyone who is looking to get stronger, faster, etc.”
Playing for Fresno State back in the day at 5'5 inches tall, 135 lbs
A quick story…
It was the year 2000, my first day of pre-season at Fresno State University of the Pac-12 (before the program was eventually cut in 2004 after my senior season due to Title 9). I stood 5’5″ tall on a knee with a torn meniscus that needed surgery.
Once an average club player, I made it that far on pure work ethic and determination. Nonetheless, my body was breaking down from training hours on end and I was too stubborn to listen to anyone. The athletic trainer at Fresno State said I needed an MRI and I finally got my knee fixed up. 3 seasons went by that I considered frustrating.
While I started the majority of matches, I was struggling to stay healthy and I knew deep down I had more to offer as an athlete and player. Getting beaten to the ball, knocked off of the ball, and not winning 50-50 tackles was getting really old. You see, I thought I knew it all when it came to getting faster and how to eat and train as an athlete when in reality, I was clueless.
Now what!?!?
Finally, out of desperation I gave in and decided to follow everything the strength and conditioning coaches prescribed instead of changing it and doing my own workouts. While they were far from soccer preparation geniuses, during my senior year I started every match, never got hurt, and even went on to get All Tournament Team a couple of times. The quick transformation opened my eyes to the possibilities of science-based sports training methods. My vertical jump was still a measly 22 inches and my 40 yard dash was a not-so-lightening 5.2 seconds.
Since then, in addition to hours on end studying and experimenting with my own athletes, I have traveled to clubs from around the world such as Vasco Da Gama and Sao Paulo FC (Brasil), Ajax , Feyenoord, and Sparta FC (Holland), Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin (Germany), America and Chivas (Mexico) and LA Galaxy and Chivas USA (USA) to study how they prepare their players physically.
Fast forward to today…
Today, at age 30 I have a 30-inch standing vertical jump and my 40yd dash hovers around 4.6. Credit goes to years of research and trial and error. I am still no genetic freak, but for an endurance-blessed individual those improvements are not small.
My name is Mat Herold. I am a speed and performance coach with a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology; if for any reason you are unsatisfied or do not get far more athletic, not only will I refund you the price of X-Factor, but I will send you a check for the same amount on top of that. Who does that? I do, because I know this stuff works.
Too many people are severely misled about physical preparation for the sport of soccer..it does not have to be you…
LET’S FACE IT: The difference between getting a scholarship, making the team, and staying healthy for the long haul (a huge factor in being a successful athlete which I believe cost me big time over the years) is not that large but it requires some extra knowledge and execution.
Some soccer players are just plain lucky and despite their lack of knowledge or a lack of quality coaching, they manage to stay healthy and are blessed with certain athletic traits. If that is you, this manual will not only give you a fighting chance, but in my opinion it will give you a damn good chance to accomplish whatever it is you want in the sport of soccer.
With the X-Factor Program you will:
-
Discover the secrets to amazing agility (hint: it is not the foot ladder)
-
Learn why all of your “speed training” is not giving you the results you want and how some small tweaks in program design will have you running faster week in and week out
-
Philosophies of thinking (and not thinking at all) that will have you playing your best when it counts
-
How to eat and train so you become as strong as possible at your leanest, and why this alone will transform your performance
-
How to favor certain muscle groups in your training specific to your body (using simple self tests I give you) that will prevent injuries and improve your movement dramatically
-
Plyometrics, medicine balls, weights, olympic lifts, kettlebells…….it can be confusing. I’ll help you pick the right tool specific to you
-
I’ll show you how to assess your mobility and address any underlying problems eliminating your “power leaks”
-
You will get access to an off-season manual that will have your coaches in awe at your speed, fitness level, and work rate
-
I provide you with multiple training templates for different times of the year that will help you prevent over-training and optimize your athletic development
That is just some of it…but the bottom line is:
This is NOT your average cookie cutter soccer training guide. It is a guide designed to transform your game and in turn, your life. All you have to do is learn the principles and apply them with hard work.
