9 Tips for Players New to Football 

Patrick Guerra thanks man i want to play but i am scared! 😀

No no you know what hurts worse having a line that can't block.

Ha ha ha Memes lol true but it’s true you if you’re scared your nerves weaken causing you to prolly break a bone for a weak hit

Patrick Guerra hits are fun

Patrick Guerra facts...

GoDz Rewind That sucks dude

GoDz Rewind lmao. One time some big backup lineman wasn't paying attention and had to run around the foeld 8 times. That coach got fired cause his mom complained

GoDz Rewind sameeeee except they made us do 2 at the start and 2 at the end (it was soooo much fun tackling her kid😏)

Fucking moms

Sounds like something my coaches would do 😂

NOLO I saw you on Riley Cooper video

Also don’t think. You should know what to do. Most plays last only six seconds, from my experience.

Melvin Plays Gaming and Airsoft I have a question I’m 6ft 178lbs and a freshman in high school and I have no experience in football and a lot of people tell me I should be on the team well it be to late if join as a sophomore with no game experience at all?

Brian Rivera It’s up to you to decide. If you play hard and give 100% effort then coaches will notice you. It’s not the size of the player that matters it’s the size of his heart. It doesn’t matter which year you join. If you show that you wanna be coached, then coaches will want you to play.

I’m a sophomore and I’m playing my second year of experience ever in the game.

literally me but Im 3rd string O and D

Nice im a frehman this year to

I’m freshman rn playing and never have played before its my 2nd day practicing tmr is my third and I have legit no clue what to do what plays there are etc any help?

Crazy Hawk kid on my team got gold cams but he so trash he says he's the best but he can't do a 3 point 😂

It's Yaritza i have friends that trash on me cause I don't have great ball skills but I'm used in almost every shotgun and I form play as fullback, I'm good at what I do and u just do what u need to do not critisize people who are doin fine

It's Yaritza it's the opposite for me, I am so big people expect me to be good even though I have never played. I constantly get questions about how much I lift, how much I weigh, and how tall I am. It is pretty annoying.

I Want to be a TE but they put me at DL because im tall

me too when i tryout i hope they put me on defense lol

+Bye Poseidon I just don't know enough about you sorry

Do it, I did it and its my second year. Im 6'1 160 pounds and Im pretty big for a junior

HailzGaming you need your weight up, however idk what state you are in but I'm down south in Florida so I need my weight up 6ft 215lbs, I'm am still not as big as what I should be

HailzGaming yeah I plan on playing again. I'm about 6ft and 230 but I'll be working out until my season starts.

Yeah you guys weigh a lot, Im down here in Canada. Im very light but someone Im getting good hits and tackles I guess because Im taller then everyone. For highschool TDSB we are the best in our division. So happy :)

well. i assume now your in college, I'm freshman rn and wanna do football sophmore year, but im FAT, 170 lbs at 5'8 - so once I loose the weight I might start, I alr signed up for track too, do you have any overall recomendations for just HS athletics or just go with the flow type stuff?

@@ironicrbx My main recommendation would just to focus on having fun above all else! Play sports you genuinely want to play and if you don’t like it don’t be afraid to just walk away. My dad wanted me to play football back in Highschool so I pressured myself into doing it and had an awful time for two seasons. On the fitness side of things however, remember to do your cardio! It sucks to do but being able to be light on your feet and have a high endurance is critical to most team sports. That and practice sucks less if you’re in good shape; and when it comes to body weight focus less on that and more on your endurance like I mentioned earlier. I was/still am a big dude (weighing 250 now) but I can still knock out an 8 minute mile. In football especially having weight is not a bad thing, it gives you more stopping force and power. But yeah anyways! Just have a good time and make good memories. Highschool goes by much too fast, enjoy it while you can Edit: also if you’re throwing in track remember to not just train your upper body! Momentum throws like slide throws and spins use a lot of leg power and the stronger your legs the farther you can throw

@@superIBM1231 Thank you bro, Appreciate that all, Enjoy life.

6’2 145 about to go into freshman year. I’m a tight end and defensive end (defensive end in my defensive scheme includes dropping me into coverage since I’m a great pass protector) How do you juggle multiple things academically and otherwise? I do choir, theater, football, I’m trying to be an academic weapon. How did you do in that factor?

ur fat? im 190 at 5'8 skill issue@@ironicrbx

Honestly lol i figured that out playing for a few weeks i was "bro this trying asf" but i would think to myself "man you gotta push through it dont even worry about it pain is temporary but quieting last forever" and honestly it helps so much to take your mind off the pain.... until i get home 😂

Honestly you don’t need to watch the game to enjoy it. But I will guess if you really get into the sport you’ll naturally start watching it. If you’re coaches are doing a good you won’t need to watch

@Verdestar227 I wouldn't say there is even such a thing as too much, as long as you aren't going around bragging about all your fancy gear you're fine

P

Keenan Johnson looks are about preference

Yo I'm a linebacker and if you want to be one prepare for big hits and getting the ball carrier because if you don't the whole team and coach will be mad

I wanted to be a wide receiver but I got put as a z back. I never knew what the hell that position was but now that I've played as a z back for a while I'm really good at it and I think its it's fun.

Bro my mom said the same thing, the difference is I’m 17 and I’m playing my first college year as a DB (position kinda between cornerback and linebacker I’m Canadian). My advice to you is it’s never too late who cares about what comp you’re stacked against, you get what you give so give it your all when you’re practicing and you’ll get that spot right back.

I’m offensive left tackle and defensive tackle

In 2019 I was orgianlly a RB (Running Backs) but later my coach but me as a lineman for Denfense. Only reason why I was put there be ause I was replaced.

Think I’ll be fine lol? Im going in as a freshman and really wanna play. Im really small but I know I got potential in 5’3 100 lb rn and I know my stuff when it comes to schemes and reading coverages I jus gotta bulk up a little this summer and get taller I’m so pumped

@@parkerknoche2709 You’ll be fine, just work hard and never give up. Goes for every thing in life, I’m sure you will be okay. Just pay attention and make sure to know your stuff, which I’m sure you do. I’m also like 100lb but if you want to bulk, eat foods with more calories, but not necessarily junk food. It’s not okay to eat it everyday, but okay at some point. Eat like foods that are rich in protein and fat. Otherwise, you’re all good.

@X35022 i decided to do powderpuff flag football in hs instead. but this year im in wrestling rn!

No im not the coach's kid or was benched until they saw me in practice and I intercepted 7 times and 1 pick six and threw it for 85 yards and three touchdowns

Eden H. I'm DE,DT,LB

@@edenh.2576 this aint madden lmao

ricegums son ahahahaha

Go for it bro. Rn is the time to try anything new so don’t be afraid bro

I’m in the exact position as you in right now. Is it going well for you?

Honestly not really I’m terrible with footwork and so un knowledge with the game and to go to practice everyday after school just to look dumb af on the field isn’t even worth it the reality is there’s just too many people that have been playing this game their whole life and I’m not one of them but I hope you can make it work it’s such a fun sport.

Scott, I was in the exact same position as you a few years ago- kinda. I started football in 5th grade and played as a d-lineman. I wasn't necessarily the biggest guy, but boy was I fast, and I loved playing the position of d-line. I started d-line up until 10th grade, when I was bumped to second string. Slowly but surely through those years, the offensive linemen grew bigger and bigger to the point that my speed couldn't play into the mass difference between myself and them. Junior year comes around and I know I have to switch positions. I end up playing corner. I felt like I was starting the sport all over again. The two positions are soooo different, and my knowledge of d-line did not apply at all. Yeah, I got shafted to 3rd string, as every other corner had so much more experience than me in the game. And maybe I should mention this, but my school is usually in the top 25 in the nation for high school football. Junior year ends, I finish wrestling for Junior year (which I love the sport of wrestling so so much and I recommend it) and then Senior year comes. This story... doesn't exactly get better. You see, my Junior year there was only 1 Senior corner, which meant that now there are still 5 corners in my age group that have been playing the position since 2nd grade. I signed up for extra training, studied extra film, worked super hard, but I still was 3rd string. As a senior. And it totally stunk. I probably had a total of 20-25 plays in the entire season. Mind you, I wasn't super terrible- everyone was just a lot better. I could've transferred schools to get more playtime, probably start too, but those schools always lost to the school I was attending. Had I been playing for the playing time, I would've had a very unsuccessful high school career. So this is what I recommend to you if things don't go your way- ask yourself what you are playing for. For me, I finally had to remember that I was there for the fun of the sport. Getting a good hit in feels good! Don't let the stakes of competition bog you down. Go out there for fun and you'll perform a lot better, too! Another tip of advice: know your role. My head coach was one of the best men I have ever known. He understood that the football team was a *team*. Every component of the team mattered. Whether you were starting backer, or a second string receiver, or even the kicker: everyone had a role and was equally important to the team. Maybe your coaches don't believe in that, but whether or not they do, it is true. Find your role on the team, and be the best at it. For me, I had to find my role in playing the scout team quite often. But when I did, I played the best I could to get our offense in shape for the game. Sometimes it hurt to see the starting defense on the other side of the field running defensive schemes while I was just playing the team of the week's defense, but I learned that it was my role and I was going to do the best I could at it. Oh and get this- at the end of the year banquet, I received one of the few awards handed out. And that award was the Scout MVP award. For others it may have been a meh award, maybe even laughable, but to me it meant so much because it showed that the coaches knew I was playing my role the best I could. My Senior season ended with a bang- we won the state championship against a team that had gone undefeated for almost 3 seasons straight. Sure it feels good to have the title of a state champ, and to wear a state ring, but titles eventually fade away, and that ring will corrode too. What sticks with me now is my pride in knowing that I stuck with it, that I didn't give up, and that I always gave my best, even if I hardly got the chance to play. I performed honorably. Sorry if this is too long, but I wish you the best in the football season. You got this.
