I need some tips for football. I'm in 8th grade goin to 9th and started playing school football. Got any tips?

Question

This was my first year of playing organized school football and i was a 3rd string wide reciver and a first string free saftey. i do weight lifting (i bench 125)and i think the my db/ wide recivercoach didnt know what he was talking about because he sucks and that affected me and some of the guys on team, so i want to know some tips to become a better 1st string saftey or wide reciver for next season and not from my db/wide reciver coach. and i also do track and i run long distance 800m and 4 by 100 relay. how do i balance football and track and be good in both? because im good at both and i need help with that issue too.

Answer 1

First of all, hit the weight room. Do bench press, squat, and dead lift. Look into the Bigger, Faster, Stronger weightlifting program.



Second, work on speed and agility drills. Alternate training between long stride type runs and quick sprints. Use speed ladders, parachutes, and shuttle runs to build speed and endurance.



Finally, STUDY! Coverages and passing routes, know all of them and practice them. Study film.



Remember being a good football player takes lots of work, but it is well worth it. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 2

look to become better wide reciver you have to be tall to push off with arms and you have to explode form the line by doing a 4 by 1 you need to explode so stick to any runs you in track will need it im a 4 year wide out in my high school i got to be first string as a freshmen by runin track in middle school i did 4 by 1 and you might wanna run hurdles it helps big time

Answer 3

A WR doesn't need to be hulking like a linebacker. He should be quite fast, so he can get to where he needs to be before your QB gets sacked. Just run more, and try to get a little stronger.

Answer 4

Arm and leg stregnth, proper footwork, as well as reading defenses/offenses. Anticipation is what puts greats like Troy Polamalu at the top of any list. SPEED is what will compliment your resume also.

Answer 5

play basketball.

Answer 6
