Answer 1

even if you dont play well its a great way to make new friends

Answer 2

I think you should go for it! If you are fast then you would be an awesome running back.You just have to work out first and try your best to add on a few pounds.Maybe jog around the block to improve your running skills.You have to gain a few because if you do become a running back you have to break from tackles but primarily you have to be fast.

Maybe get one of these training drills to improve your speed and agility-

I believe you have what it takes to become a 2nd string running back and then work your way up to a 1st string.Good Luck!

Answer 3

If you have passion for the game, then go for it. See what you can do and if you don't make the team, you will at least know what you need to do to make the team next year. If you don't try you will never know what you can do or what you need to do. either way make it a positive experience by learning from it. Your young and you will learn from the experience and make you more confident to pursue your goals. Good Luck, keep the faith and you'll do fine.
