1.) Do plyometrics (box jumping, etc.)\n2.) Do sprints\n3.) Start lifting\n4.) Go endurance running\n\nI'm not going to give you a detailed work out plan, because it would be a waste of both our times. If your coach is any good at all, then he will already have a summer football league up and running for players to participate in. Start there.

Well if you were a Mlb and you hit really hard but were kinda slow and could only run the 40 in 5.6sec I think (coming from somebody who at one time used to Play as a Mlb and also Outside Linebacker as well) I think that you would have to play in Zone coverage against the passes and runs and if you were that slow you Definately Wouldn't be covering the Receivers at all cuz they are alot faster than you cuz they run the 40 in Alot faster than just 5.6 in the 40.And when I used to play as a Mlb&Outside Lb I used to run the 40 in like I believe like about around 5.2 but I Had to be able to run fast because I used to Also be a Running back on Offense and bouth Punt And Kick Returner on Special Teams, but that was Back in my Jr.High&High School days though but since then I've gotten Bigger and Much Faster!!

Your first move should be to walk into the coaches office and introduce yourself.  He will be able to help you determine where to focus...\n\nYou'll determine if you can catch, have speed and if you know how to run routes?\n\nStrength and height are meaningless if you can't catch the ball at wideout.  Also, it's not vital for you to know the plays so much as knowing the routes since the QB can tell you what to do on each play until you learn.  If you are unwilling to learn routes, maybe you need to go on on the other side of the ball.  If you can't catch or run (especially backwards!), then you can't be a cornerback since that is all you do (I played corner).  As a Defensive End, you'll be going up against some of the biggest kids on the other team AND the QB, who is usually the best athlete...if you feel you are strong enough go for it...\n\nMy advice is to start at WR...the team needs a bunch of them to run in plays, it's the easiest position since you only really need to know 10 pass routes to run and you usually go against cornerbacks who are only playing the position because they wanted to be WR's so you can beat them easily.\n\nGood luck!

You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

depending on what position you want to play you can accomplish it.\nyou said you are over weight you can use that to work towards being one of the line man. or guards\nif you want to play wide receiver or corner backs less weight helps, muscle and strength helps in being a running back or line backer or tight end position.

Well Justin\nSounds like you should be a shut down corner, you have good size and speed for your age. but if you want to a better team player you should give it your all everyday and play were your team needs you. If you haven't played before it is best to tell the coach that you will play any position that is best for the team. Oh yea and start hitting the weight room that to will help you.\n\nI hope this was some help And hope to see you in Latrobe in about 10 years with the Steelers you never know!

Legs and back.  You need to be able to spring into the tackle and run like all get out.  Work on leg thrusts with lower wights to develop quick twitch muscles and strengthen your back to take the hits.  I would also work on hand strength to help with grabbing for ankles or jerseys if you are not in position to make a solid tackle.  Speed and quickness will help you most at OLB

do a ten yard dash and time yourself. take small and fast steps steps on the tips of your feet.dont let the balls of yourfeet touch the ground.and about 6-8 yards through, put a 3 1/2 foot horizontal bar to jump over. also practice with your friends on spinning and juking.to juke step one way where the defender is and go the other way. spinning is just the same thing except you spin after the step. you can also lift weights that target your quads, thighs, main leg muscle(dont know the name)and feet.

You could run around a local schools track, or run on the tread mill. This will keep your legs fresh and "quick" when you play sports. Just try to keep you self active and always moving.

Found this article...hope it helps. I also suggest watching college football and some pro (I'm not a pro football fan) watching the receivers and seeing how they fake and spin...it takes practice and repetition.\n\nYour passing game starts with the ability of your football wide receivers to get separation from their defenders. It doesn't matter if you have the greatest quarterback in the world if his receivers can't give him a window to throw to.\n\nThe first step is to teach your wide receivers how to get off the line. If the defenders are pressing and bumping at the line, the receiver must know how to beat the pressure. Begin by teaching fakes. The most basic is the "head bob". This is where the football wide receiver moves his head to one side while getting his body moving straight or to the other side. A good shoulder fake can spice this move up.\n\nSince defensive backs will eventually pick up on a repeated fake, teach your receivers to mix things up with double-fakes (fake one way, then the other, then move beyond the defensive back).\n\nFootball wide receivers must also be taught how to use their hands to gain separation. Teach the "rip" and "swim" techniques. If cutting left, teach them to use the right arm to "rip" up through the cornerback's arms. For the "swim" technique, teach your wide receivers to bring the inside arm up and over the corner's arms to knock the arms downward.\n\nOnce off the line, good route running is obviously an important skill to develop. One way to help your football wide receivers get open is to have them run hard to a specific spot, get control (possibly use a fake here) and make the cut. Plant the foot away from the direction of the cut, make the cut and then accelerate into the cut. Teach your players the importance of getting the defensive back moving backwards and then cutting away from them.\n\nBesides the straight line charge, you can also have your football receivers use an S-shape weave to get open. Have them run quickly at the defensive back to get close, then "curve" around him to gain separation.\n\nAgainst man-to-man coverage, learning the art of good cuts and making those cuts at the right time will be extremely important to the success of your wide receivers. Against zone coverage, it's a bit different. Since the defensive backs are defending an area, the football receivers won't need to use their fakes quite as much since they just need to find the holes in the zone.\n\nOne often over-looked area where you can give your players an advantage is in your scouting of the opposition. Don't underestimate the importance of exploiting how your players match up to the other guys. Figure out how you can game-plan how to get your best or fastest receiver matched up against the opposition's weakest or slowest defensive back.\n\nTeach your football wide receivers the correct fundamentals for getting open, game-plan your match ups effectively, then sit back and feel the satisfaction of watching a beautifully executed big play win the game for your players.\n\nMatt & Dave run http://www.football-plays-and-drills.com/get-open and enjoy teaching football players and coaches more about the football plays, drills, fundamentals and tips that result in individual and team success.

If you have the strength, skill, and ability to play, go for it! If you have played HS football, this is a good idea. Some level of experience is required. If you can stand the test of time over the entire season, and have enough skill to do it, sounds good. One recommendation: it is easier to play a position like Safety or Cornerback if you have speed than it is to play any other one

sprints, lift weights if can, eat healthy, whatever stretches you did in football (if you want to).... just about anything.... just don't hurt yourself in the process.... don't work TOO hard....
