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....

Yahoo registration is closed, but NFL.com might have some packages available. Last year I joined an NFL.com league week 4, but I'm not sure about this late in the year.

A tight ends basic job is to block, so you need to of course get bigger, buy whey protein and hit the cylinders. Another is recieving. During the offseason, grab a willing buddy to play catch-and-pass. You can both do different routes that your coach may run. Coaches have certain tendecies, so you should ask him what you can study to help make you a better player.

great question.  First off, as a wide receiver, you need to work on your hands.  After all, you have to be able to catch with your hands and not your body.  Best thing for this is to buy a Nerf football that's attached to a rubber band.  I think you can buy these on line or at place's like Academy.  What you do is, hook one end of the rubber band to a fence or pole.  The height should be at your shoulder's height. Then you stand and through the ball out away from you, because of the rubber band, it will come right back and really fast.  It forces you to put your hands up and catch the ball with your hands. Many NFL Wide Receiver's use this technique. \nSecondly, you need to run routes.  Get with some buddies, grab a football, go to a field and have one of your friends throw to you. You can get online and find some specific routes to run, i.e., post corner, in route etc. It would be helpful to have at least three people. One QB, one WR, and a defender. Since you're playing both WR and FS, you would want to change up and cover sometimes too.\nThird, work on your feet.  Marry a jump rope. This will educate you feet and make them quicker.  Jump rope all the time!!!!\nFourth, the weight room.  Try not to lift heavy weights.  You don't need to bulk up as a receiver.  Just light bench press, dumbell press, curls etc. Your best bet is to lift light with a lot of reps.  This will give your muscles stamina.  For your legs, squats (light), leg press, leg curls and extensions. When you're working on your legs, try to train your muscles to burst.  Meaning, on the exertion part of the lift, really burst the weight up or out. But make sure it's in a controlled way.  Don't over do it in the weight room.  As far as running two miles, that's fine, but you need to work on burts.  Meaning you need to work in some sprint work.  This is very important.  Run some 100's, 150's, 180's, and 220's.  Always stretch and warm up first and cool down and stretch afterwards.  Vary your workouts from day to day. Right down your routine for lifting and running Monday through Friday. I used to lift in the morning, and run in the evening.  Monday was heavy upper body lifting, and running day 4 400's 60 to 70 seconds for each, and 2 200 yard (sprints), 2 100 yard sprints.  Tuesday was heavy leg day, and jogging..2-3 miles, Wednesday was light upper body, short sprints..100's, 60's and 40 yard dashes.  Spend 1hr on the track.  Thursday was light lower body, and hill work or bleacher's. Try to burn your quads, yeah!!  Friday was a total body workout in the weight room (light) and some light jogging.2-3 miles at a relaxed pace. Good luck. Contact me if you need me to send you a specific routine.

The below link is to the Football Coaches Professional Growth Association. Maybe they can give you the advise you need.

Strength is important, but is not your main concern for improvement. You need to work on your backwards and lateral movement. I assume during warm ups and positional drills, your coach has you do lateral shuffles and karioka/crossover drills. You need to work on those over and over; work on imcreasing your speed and most importantly keeping your balance while doing them. Same thing goes for backward movement. You need to work on running backwards while keeping your balance and not letting your weight shift backwards. If you lean backwards and the tight end curls around quickly, you're either going to lose a step and be out of position, or end up falling. You also need to get used to watching the QB's eyes, shoulders, and movements during practice. I don't really know of any way to improve that on your own, just have to focus on it during practice time.

I won't go into specific exercises, but I will recommend a great book. Its called "Getting Stronger" by Bill Pearl.  What you would find especially useful about this book is the section called "Sports Training Programs".  In that section, they have a specific section for Ice Hockey.  That section has Off Season, Pre Season and In Season programs.  The Ice Hockey section in particular was written by Bob Bourne, former Left Wing for the New York Islanders in 1980-1983.

When I played football I was really slow. During one summer I some exercises that took over a second off my 40yrd dash.\nRun 10 40 yard dashes foreword\nRun 10 40 yards dashes backwards\nRun sprints down hill.\nThe last one did a lot of good. \nDo this at least 4 imes a week.\nThese suggestions may sound silly but I promise they worked for me.

my coaches seem to like endurance drills. they are HOOOOORRRRIBLE but they take up some time and they really are helpful.\nThe one that seems to stick the most: Sprint from first cone 2 the second one (straight line) jog to the next cone (also straight line) Sprint up the hill, then sprint down  (obviously a little distance away) and at the bottom of the hill, do 10 pushups. from there run in for a grounder, throw it back, then sprint back to the first cone. Repeat for 10 minutes, but with younger kids you should adjust the pace and difficulty or the lenghth.\n\nFor drills try 6 on 6 offense defense, put the goalie in goal, have each defender pair up with an offender and start the ball with offense, like a mini scrimage because it starts out pretty close to the crease. its fun and it also teaches cutting skills. Relays are alot of fun too, and keeping one thing in focus, like one day, cradling and ground balls, and another day just throwing, a day of just conditioning etc.\ngood luck!

That didn't happen for me, i'd maybe just do another season. The only other football game that I know of that you could try is maybe Winning Eleven.

Lift weights like a demon. Practice pass rush moves like the swim technique. Do not turn your shoulders into the hole if your tackle blocks down, slide down with him and look for the kickout block, and most of all want it more than anybody you go up against.
