If you're not a professional, wait until it is completely healed and just pound the pavement for now. If you are, talk to the trainer.

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

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

My son has asthma and plays football. I have coached him for three years. He also was not fit but football was the best thing for him. Go for it and don't let anyone tell you you can't do something.

Yes you should go back out. I played for a while and then quit. If I could go back to high school and play all over again I would. Just go outside and shoot baskets and things like that. Run, jog, do suicides, shoot baskets, etc. Try to get someone to play against you like they would in the games

To those with the thinking of "he has two arms", go ahead start writing everything with your non writing hand and it better be as clear, concise and fast as you write with your normal hand. Hell, switch off and do anything with the "other" hand.  All knowing that you may never have full use of your usual hand again. Now imagine doing something like concentrating on following blockers, see openings BEFORE they open, stiff arming tacklers and also knowing if it is that bad, your career is over before it got started, and carrying the rock for your team. Certain things only happen certain ways. They worked it out, figured out that it was not a serious injury, only a pinched nerve and got him going again. I think it took great heart and determination for him to go back in at all. At some point, lose this one and live to win another day, is not a bad way to do it.\n\nThat's my take on it

Yes\n\nHe is a great player, his injury has kept him on the sidelines this year ... you should drop him and find someone for your playoff run...\n\nGood Luck

You shouldn't worry about it.  The thing you have to mainly worry about in that game is getting out.  Not getting hit.  It only stings for about 5 seconds.  It's better to not worry about it and play then just to not play.

If you play sports on a regular basis, you will want to have surgery. If you have a career or scholarship riding on it, do it. Running it's course, might lead to it not healing properly, and there goes your career.  If anyone said to me, let it go, or your chances are better having it operated on, i'd say OPERATE! I want my life to be in tact as much as it can be for as much of my life as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I coached middle school lacrosse 7th and 8th grade for 4 years and I have assisted with the lower school program.  Lacrosse can be a dangerous game, I have seen hands busted, cups cracked, collar bones broken and more but it is a safe sport.  The most important thing you can do with someone age 10 and under is find a coach that understands that the childern need to learn the basics and it is more about having fun then winning the game.  Also Make sure that you have all of the proper equipment (AND MAKE SURE THE CHILD WEARS IT!!!) I have seen children get injured because they didn't think that padding was nessasary.  I encourage childern to get started at a early age but as with any sport it is just a game to have fun.  Also some children have anger problems and this game is certainly not for them if they can not control their temper then they should NOT play the game.

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.
