he means that you should put mor effort in it. Maybe you should sign up in a summer league to get your game up. He probably sees alot of potential in you. Good luck with basketball

Based  on your size and speed I would suggest Offensive Tackle and Defensive End.  I am 5'8" 165 and run a 5.1.  I'm a frosh and play D tackle and guard.

Hardly. I'm 5'8'' and 135 pounds and I think my weight is just right. Don't pay attention to the Mary-Kates and Lindseys of the world honey. You are probably going to grow to 5'10'' and be hot supermodel!

First and foremost, don't believe Mike M., I think he's on something.\nNow, back to your question, 35" is actually good. The problem is your height. Your vertical leap is higher than about 60% of the NBA but they are 12" taller than you. Just think about it, you can grab the rim, so that means if someone 6'8" has exactly the same vertical leap as you, they would be a foot over the rim. \nOn to question #2, no buying a jump rope will not help you jump higher. It will help you mostly with endurance and stamina, but not very much in jumping. If you wish to jump higher I would suggest steps or boxes. Up and down. Do not let the the heels of your feet touch the ground. When you jump up, land on the balls of your feet and drop back down. As soon as you hit the ground, explode back up. Make sure you use your arms. When I say explode, I mean explode, overexagerrate. Hard and with power. If you start felling it and you need to rest, you rest up on the box and not on the ground. Each time you hit the ground you jump back up, if you don't think you can do that, then don't even jump down. Do it for 30 seconds no stop, starting with about 3 sets, 3 times a week. If you lift weights, do toe raises. You can stand with the weights on you shoulders or sit with the weights on your knees, either method will work.\n...Lastly, the highest vertical leap in the NBA is Nate Robinson at 46".

It doesn't sound like you are fat to me.  It sounds like you are quite healthy despite the fact that you don't like your body type or shape.  If you want to know what your % body fat is, you should have a skin fold test done.  It is a reasonably accurate assesment of body fat.  I'd would guess based on your meassurements, that you think your legs are too big.  If you are active and play soccer, your legs and hips are probably just muscular, which gives them their shape.  Your BMI ( which is a flawed assesment of health) is 20.8, which is very healthy, and quite far from being overweight.  You may not like your body shape, and you might not have a "perfect" body by American standards, but you are not fat.

Go for it!!!  That would be pretty cool!  You may be small, but that does not mean that you are weak!

If you eat healthy and stay active that is great!  I am about 5'8 and I look pretty good at that weight!  Don't compare your weight to your shorter friends bc us tall girls weight more anyway.  Remember to feel good about yourself and be healthy and you will be beautiful.

haha ur shorter than me too...i am a flyer (5'2 1/2" ...yes, proud of that 1/2 inch!)\n\n\ni think you could be, cuz there's a girl on my squad who's, like, 120 and she's a flyer, but she's also taller, like 5'6" or so..\n\nit actually depends..if there are girls that are smaller (weight wise, not saying you're fat -- NOT AT ALL), then they will want them, since they are easier to lift ( AGAIN -- NOT SAYING YOU'RE FAT!!!) but it the flyers that were before, and they are like you...then yes, absolutely you could be!\n\nthis is my first year cheerleading, and i got stuff pretty quickly\n\ngood luck!

depends. Are you athletic? And since your still growing your body might be taking in extra pounds for growth.

Well, since you posted this in the swimming category, I'm assuming you want to be a better swimmer.  I used to swim competitively and I'm only 5'5".  Try stretching to increase your flexibility.  Along with strong kicking (which you can work on by lifting weights), you should be a good competitor.

When I was in high school, several of the best players on the varsity teams were short. My sister was one of them - she's only 5 ft 1 inch tall and she was a great player. Some of the other short players were notable for their speed and three point shots. \n\nIf I get a vote, I'd say go for it, but have a back-up plan. It's awful tough to make it as a pro-athlete, and whether or not you do, you'll still have to eat! (If you're wondering how to come up with a back-up plan, I'll tell this - the people I know who are most happy are the ones who are doing something they enjoy. Develop hobbies you love - you'll be suprised at how often they can turn into careers!)
