Answer 3

Dude eat salads, and fruit, and drink water.

It may suck at first, but you get used to it and your gonna need it.

Dont eat big meals before football unless your williing to spit it back up somewhere.

Also, if you live anywhere near a painted football field, try crab walking,[Run bent over and its like crawling without your knees moving on the ground.]

Here are somethings you can do to get better.[Practice.]

Before the practice do 30 jumping jacks, 15 leg stretches left, 15 right, 20 down the middle.Then do 20 pushups, 20 breakdowns, [Run in place then breakdown.[Bend over put hands out and roll over]]At the end get on your back and lift your feet up without moving and keep them in the air for 30 secs.

[We do this in practice.]

Also do laps around the field and keep running 40s back and forth, u can time yourself with a cooking timer or whatever.

Answer 4

learn to love the game, watch it, observe it, love it...no matter how talented you are...if you dont love football dont play...once you have that covered...workout...

Answer 5
