Playing a new sport?

Question

I've been thinging about playing basketball. I am a juinor, and am a Varsity Football Player.I've been a football player for about 4, going 5 years, and have been lifting weights even longer. I currently play fullback, but have played everything on the offensive line, everything on the defensive line, tight end, inside linebacker, outside linebacker, tailback and even a little bit of strong safety. I'm a decent over all athlete. I played a little lacrosse, and did good for never even picking up a stick. I use to play basketball with friends on a regular basis. Sometimes I play soccer and do okay. But I noticed whenever I play a sport besides football, I tend to do better a the defensive side of things.

If you are a natural athlete, which it sounds like you are, then you should try basketball.  You could be a good post player because you're tall enough and definitely have the strength to hold your own down low.  Just work on learning some post moves, get your pivots down.  Work on finishing around the basket.  You will probably be alright on defense, just be careful not to push people around too much with your size.  Work on your shot mostly.
