I'm playing middle linebacker in hs football. New to the position, any tips

Question

This is my second year of football and I'm trying to find out which position is right for me and my coach is trying me at middle lb. I don't really know much about the position so anybody that has any experience could drop some tips on reading plays, just things that will help, etc.

Answer 1

to tell the truth LB is not an easy position. Depending on if u r a natural athlete or not majority of people have trouble at LB when they first start i know i did. do not get frustrated if u don't start good. never be afraid of contact is my 1st tip. my 2nd iz all wayz stay aware of each play(even if youre on the sideline). 3rd, when there is a lead blocker coming at u  and the ball carrier is behind him take out the blocker 1ST! also dont let ant blocker come to you go to it.4th and final tip read the line, most of the time they will tell u the play by there stance. i know this is a lot but at LB when you play U got  be a Hal man Half Beast on the field. u r the main 1 on defense. Alwayz Dominate every play and dont be scared. thx
