 Where the hell have I been? What's going on with progressive soccer? COVID-19, coronavirus, how to get better at home? All of that in this video. What's up everybody? Dillon Tubi, progressive soccer. Remember the face. Remember the name. It's been a while since I've done a video. Hopefully I can figure out how to do this. But I hope you're doing well. I know this is a weird time right now, COVID-19, coronavirus. What the hell is going on with the world? What is going on with your ability to play soccer to train to improve? So I want to talk about it in this video. Just give you an update. What's been going on with me? Where the hell have I been? What's going on with the future of progressive soccer and this COVID corona? How to take advantage of this opportunity? Because it can be a blessing in disguise. And obviously, this is very serious. There are people dying. There are people sick all around the world. We need to take it seriously. But you need to understand that you can't control the government. You can't control what people say and what people are telling you to do as far as stay in your house, stay away from other people, keep your social distancing. All soccer is canceled. You can't control that stuff. The only thing that you can control is yourself, your own actions and your own thoughts. So I want to talk about that. But let's give you an update. What is this place that I'm in? What is going on with me? Where have I been? Well, if you've been following me for a while, soccer essentials, way back, progressive soccer, we've been around for a few years. You know that I'm very consistent with my content, but this last year I have not been consistent. Why is that? Well, truthfully speaking, it was the most difficult year of my life. Emotionally, physically, mentally, financially, I went through a divorce and it was tough on me. It was tough on me emotionally. And I don't want you to think that I'm a Superman when I do these videos and I always tell you, hey, go out there and be strong and do these things. I'm a real person just like you. I have real struggles and that last year was the most difficult year of my life. So it was very tough for me to get on camera and motivate people to improve themselves when I wasn't even motivated myself. I wasn't doing the things that I needed to be doing. My lifestyle was poor. My actions were poor. My mentality was poor. But through those hard times, I'm back and I feel good. I'm in a good place right now. So whatever you're going through right now, if you're having mental struggles, I want you to realize that you do have the strength inside of you to come out of it. You just have to be optimistic and believe in your ability to overcome. So this last year, or sorry, the last part of this year, it has been good. I'm back on track. My health is back. I'm playing lots of soccer. I'm feeling good mentally, emotionally. My ambition's back. And although I haven't been releasing a lot of videos, soccer training videos, I'm still living a soccer life. So what the hell is this place? Where am I? How come you're locked at home and I'm in this amazing soccer facility all by myself? Well, I'm actually doing some event marketing and event promotion and internet marketing for this facility. This is the Calgary North Soccer Center. It's a new facility just opened last year, but I'm helping them grow their brand, grow their audience, get more people in here for different activities. For example, I've done some 3v3 tournaments for the kids. I've done some soccer camps, helping promote all different sports here as well. As far as soccer training and soccer camps and all different soccer academies, as you can see, and all the soccer teams come and train here, they're also doing other things like ultimate Frisbee football training, rugby, spike ball. What else do they have? They have a Nerf war in here. So lots of fun stuff and this is a great facility and I've been helping them and that's taking some of my time. On top of that, if you look up on this wall right here, this club right here, Calgary Caledonians, is the longest standing men's club in Calgary. I've actually, in this last year, I became the head coach of the top team for that club. That's a men's club. So I'm coaching for that. I'm doing all the training for the major, the premier, the div one, and the youth club. We actually merged with this youth club. Where are you? Right here. Calgary West. Any Calgary West players watching this video? Shout out to Calgary West Soccer Club. We merged with them so their youth players trained with us as well. So I'm doing all the training. I'm coaching the ABA team, the futsal team, and the indoor team, as well as playing on all those teams. So that's taking up a lot of my time and if you just want to see up here, where are you? Where are you? Progressive Soccer is represented in the building. So that's taking up a lot of my time. I'm also doing some small group training in this facility. Come and check out this awesome facility here. I know this is harsh. You guys are locked up at home. You're stuck in your bedroom with a little mini-bowl and I have access to this amazing facility. But I just want to talk about this because I'm going to tell you a little bit more about how I'm going to take advantage. But I have been doing some small group training here. So as you can see, a lot of my time is taking up doing soccer stuff. Now on top of that, I have two young kids and being a single dad is definitely a full-time job. Two little dogs, it all takes up time. So where is the time to actually film videos, edit videos, upload videos, engage with audience, answer emails, run an online business? It takes up a lot of time. So the reason I'm saying this is because I'm looking at COVID-19 coronavirus as an opportunity. An opportunity because everything else is shut down. This is an opportunity for me to get my online business back on track. So whatever you are, whatever situation you're in right now, I know you're depressed. You want to be out there, you want to be making things happen. Let me just flick the lights on here. You want to be out here making things happen, but you're stuck at home. Now a lot of players are going to come back from this. Worse, they're going to be fatter. They're going to be lazier. They're going to be slower. They're going to lose skill. They're going to lose ambition. Don't let that be you. Okay. Use this to your advantage. So how are you going to do that? Well, if you need to go to my channel, I have tons of at-home training. Okay. As I said, you can't control the government. You can't control that here, wherever you live, Canada soccer shut down all soccer activities. You can't control that. You can feel bad about it. You can be upset. You can get frustrated. But guess what? That's not making you better. So use this as an opportunity. If you need, go to my channel, go in the search bar type at home and you'll probably get a hundred videos of at-home training, improve all the different skills, physical fitness, all things that you can do at home with a small ball and a small space. So while I have this little break, I'm going to use it as an opportunity to film a whole bunch of videos. If I could get a year's worth of content done in one month, that would be amazing. And that would actually allow me to keep releasing content while still living this busy soccer life that I'm already living. So I'm going to use it to film lots of videos, film and create some new courses, some new training programs, make a lot of posts. I want to start a podcast. So you can look at this as a bad thing. Oh, I can't do anything I want. Or it's an opportunity to do all the things that you couldn't have done before. On top of that, if you are serious, you should take this time to educate yourself. So although you can't play, you can still watch. You can still learn. You can still study the game. Don't use it as an excuse. It's so easy to sit at home and just play video games all day. They use this as an opportunity. When everyone else comes back from this break, you're going to be faster. You're going to be smarter. You're going to be better. You're going to be at a next level and they will be way back in the dust. So use this as an opportunity. Check out my courses on my website, ProgressiveSoccerTraining.com, backslash courses. On there, there are some great tools that you can use to improve yourself. Instead of just watching random YouTube videos, use a structured system that'll actually develop you faster, help you get the best results in the shortest period of time. Now, the one that I would recommend the most for this specific situation is my latest program. It is trained to dominate because in that training program, I actually have at home alternatives for all the workouts, the training sessions and the routines. So the technical sessions, there's an at home alternative, the physical strength training at home alternative recovery at home alternative. So now that you're stuck at home, if you need, obviously go and use all the free videos on my YouTube channel. But if you want that structured system that's really going to get you the best results in this specific situation, I would recommend trained to dominate. So stay motivated. Use this as an opportunity. It can be a blessing in disguise. Stay safe, stay healthy, take care of yourself. But realize one day this is going to be done and will this be a major setback for you or a major opportunity to take yourself forward. So stay motivated, check all those courses, check out the at home training videos on my YouTube channel and stay tuned for more progressive soccer coming real soon.
