What do you think about me playing freshman ball?

Question

Ok well I was one of the starting running backs in football in 7th grade until I broke my femur (and boy did it hurt). Then when I played in 8th grade I was put on B team the second team behind the real game. I was put on A team defense (corner to be exact) because I hit really hard! I would say I'm pretty fast but the reason I'm asking is because I'm only 5'1'' and 100 pounds. I was looking up on here what people were when they played freshman year and it just makes me not want to play because they all seem big compared to me.

You can say whatever I won't feel offended or anything. Please any advice because I really don't want to go out anymore. I've played football my whole life and this is the first time I don't really wanna play.

I mostly want to try out for RB, CB, or SS.

I've also always started in city ball against guys a lot older than me and bigger so I'm not afraid to get hit or to hit!

I love the game with all my heart I just don't know if I wanna play because I don't want to be like 7th string in freshman football! Thanks to all that answer!

Answer 2

d**n dude, 5'1 ;p.. I'd say your best bet is running back, but try to bulk up.. you say you're fast, but keep your speed up & get faster .. You should weigh at least 150 by sometime, & you'll prolly grow a few more inches.. Don't try defense unless you've got an amazing vertical.  Stick with running back , you'll be hard to tackle :) Just run hard . good luck;

Answer 4

i say u start lifting but dont over do it rb is great and eat alot of spaghetti(idk if spelled correct) and lifting doesnt effect ur growth and thats been proven but u have 2 have alot of heart

Answer 5

Because of your height, people may over look you. So your going to have to start from the bottom up. Try not to lift too much weight because it can affect your growth, more push ups and pull ups. I say 5' 7" or 5' 8" range and 190 lbs muscle is good for a a RB.

Answer 6

football is a great sport and it whips you into shape so stick with it and nothing comes easy so if you are not good at first keep going
