BlessedDevin look bro, I’m gon fill u in from a player and a brother perspective. Not Everyone gonna be ur friend, when u step on that field for practice or scrimmage, fight like ur life depends on it. I was benched my whole freshman year no one thought I was ever good enough, prove me wrong champ and just kno, hard work IS success. I’m heading home to my junior year now and I’ve been working on the fundamentals offseason and getting stronger. Focus on football and school and don’t let nobody tell u nothing. I’m a linebacker for varsity now btw😉
KnockFire it's most likely you are putting on weight due to muscle gain, or your increased appetite from the work could be the reason you are gaining weight
I have he utmost respect for running backs. They get pounded every play and walk back like it's nothing. I'm a lineman so the contact I get their not running. Shout out to the running backs
The grind does not stop, wether you're 9 or 99! I was 5'8 as a sophomore but I earned my receiver spot by studying the game and making every rep at practice count, putting in 200% every day.
I feel but I never showed up and I was a dope player there were times I’d show out I’d get fumbles I’d get sacks I get catches there was a time I was lined up against our best corner and I was able to catch the ball over him didn’t get no Fucking recognition but thats just life
Yes! That’s the number one thing. ASK QUESTIONS! Coaches love when you ask questions because they know you want to get better, my freshmen year i was benched the whole season till I had enough, I asked my coach on what I have to do to get better, I did exactly what he told me to and got to starting linebacker, NEVER GIVE UP!!
Be confident in your skills, work extra on what you messed up on, outwork everyone at your position, don’t be afraid to compete with the starters, keep working no matter what
This video hasn’t necessarily gotten me to a starting position just yet but it has made me realize the opportunities I have let up on. I’m mentally, and physically, more prepared for my next opportunity. I must ball the f out. #dontbescaredoffailure
I appreciate you bro. I'm thinking of starting it back up again but focusing on things that we all need now that most of don't play as much anymore. What would you wanna see on my channel now?
That talk to your coaches step is KEY 🔑. This is where you can get valuable feedback on your play and a coach can give you a reason for you not playing. A lot of players never ask and the coaches feel that they don't care! Great video bro #GOATGANG
in grade 10 i didnt even play a single game but during off season and i started to workout and work alot on stance and footwork and in grade 11 i started every game and we went 9-2 that season and some local university are watching me and my friend
I was. In a similar situation in grade 10 I was on JV didn't get a lot of playing time I only got to played a little bit I wasn't a starter im doing off season workouts to get stronger and to get better and to get in shape to make varsity this year
Bro GREAT TIPS being a HS Head coach in Florida these kids need to understand that the hard work and great mindset will pay off! Thanks for what you do!!!!!!!
#2 is the hardest hitter on this list. As a coach, this is my favorite question to hear. It shows the player is hungry to learn and goes a long way in making me want to give that player a shot.
Asked coach what I needed to do to become qb1 told me what I needed to do, then told me either way I wasn’t going to win the job last three games season qb1 started blowing off practices, I was already working on what coach told me to work on, coach named me qb1 and went off in last three games threw at least 2 touchdowns (rare since our offense is super run heavy) for like 125 yards, won the last three games which were against the three toughest teams in our division. Joe Burrow like story if you ask me.
I’ve been a starter on Varsity since my Sophomore Year I play CB, WR, KR, PR nd 2nd string QB. I have also been playing since the age of 6, I’m 17 now!!!
I was a 2nd stringer last year an I only played linebacker. Now this year i might start at fullback an linebacker, this video really helped me! Thank you ikf :)
I started at DE and was a beast but got to comfortable in practice and started slacking off and lost my spot so know I gotta train all day and get that spot back.
Wonderful info!!! I'm passing this link on to my son right now! I'm always looking for ways to motivate him and sometimes I guess by me being daddy, he will turn a deaf ear to some of the things I tell him................but when someone else says the EXACT same thing, its like he's hearing it for the first time. Oh well, I guess I did the same thing to my pop when i was his age (LOL)
the most important thing for sure is to show up, and have a good attitude. in the off season if there's weight training or workouts of some kind show up. I'm a starter this year I think the biggest part has been me coming and being there. when we are in the weight room and only 15 people show up the coach will remember who is there. the coach moved the last LT to guard and put me in as LT Because I showed up and put in that little bit of extra effort
Today was my first game in football also in the season, my position is wide receiver. I never got to play today except 2 kick off plays, I made my first tackle hit today. Man it feels good.
My 13 year old son is 6'4 weighs about 280, this is his first time ever playing football...He is a starter, gets the most play time, he is a captain and plays offense and defense...he never misses practices, works out outside and during season, etc...so this man is on point on what to do to be a starter.
The learn multiple positions really helped last year I didn’t know the right slot back routs and I couldn’t play there then I learned it and I played 8 plus downs a game
I remember last season when two of my teammates were suppose to finally play from suspension and one of them was suppose to start, but they still couldn't play until the week after, opening me up to play that game. Everyone told me I played really good, but I still never got much playing time after that game despite nearly 100% attendance and alertness in practice. Now I'm in varsity, still waiting for my opportunity.
Last year I was a 3rd String Running back because there was 5 Running backs on my team but I got a chance to be a starter because I found a trainer and worked hard everyday and listen to the coach and started to understand how to be a leader on the field and off because I wanna be great ,Right now during offseason I’m working to be a linebacker
Bro thanks for the tips I've been playing football for 3 years and I'm gonna be a freshman next year and was a little nervous but thai guy helped thanks bro
This kind of helps. In Jr. High I was a monster and coaches including high school coaches were amazed. Well I was in a co-op meaning I played for a different school because the one I was in hadn't had football. Well I couldn't co-op through my 7-10th year and I'm now coming back as a sophomore and the coaches expect of me what I had in my Jr. High seasons
Thank you for the video I was in Illinois not to long ago in 6th-8th grade I was a beast I played both sides of the ball and every position except QB and TE but my position is DE and I’m in hs now in VA Jv team I’m in the 9th grade and two varsity players came down and took my DE spot and this video helped a bit I’m 2nd String and I get in the game a lot but not starting any advice
This will be my first year of football I'm excited and nervous for fall because I wanna make the team but idk if I will or not I'm just watching this to see if I can become a starter if I make the team
It depends on how good the coaches are but I came to practice everytime and got so good over time that I was a starter in my first U19 GFL game (GFL is the highest football league in germany)
Ima Saftey and a running back, and I get put in every now on then , and I never knew what to really do to get into the starters position, this video is very appropriated , thanks bro
As a DB who just started playing. I without even watching this video, can verify this. I got off the bench by being at practice and doing my job. Worrying about my guy or zone. The only thing I’d add, is respect. When coaches see you respect them, subconsciously, they respect you back and cut you a little slack when necessary
I play lineman (both sides of the ball) and I'll be a freshman in August but we haven't decided starters yet I'm hoping I get to be a starter but even if I'm not I'm okay as long as we are winning and that's all that matters to me but I will push my body to the limits to be the best lineman on the team and be a starter
I accept because yesterday my coach wanted me to play DE and I didn't know the plays for that position so I told him and miss my chance hopefully I get another chance
to add on to ur tip "ball the f out" also learn to play smart. cuz I grinded the f out EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (rest on Sunday) of the 2 years I practiced with Varsity. I out worked my starter by FAR! weights running u name it, but 1. He's a very talented athlete and 2. he played Smart, like he knew how to adjust, and react in every situation. that's why he beat me at WR. so yea
I'm going to be a freshman next year and am looking forward to playing football. I want to be a running back but I've been stuck playing lineman since my first year. What can I do to show my coach that I can be more than a lineman?
I was the starter last year but now a new center transferred from another school where he was the starter. We are about the same skill level but right now it’s a big ass battle for the spot wish me luck. I want to keep my spot but he wants it bad.
I started at the beginning of the year but I’m really really small so the coaches moved a tall linebacker to corner and I got moved to the bench for the next 4 games. We made it to the championship and the corner who was starting over me couldn’t play, so I got to start. I had 8 tackles and a big pass break up on a long pass with 30 seconds left and we won 13-12!!!! Edit: I started on punt, kickoff, and kick return the whole season
when I played DT on my high school football team I was a backup which I was cool with just in case the starter ( which was also a friend of mine.) needed some recovery time the coach put me in. of course the coach didn't call me a backup he called me a secret weapon.
I was a back up middle line backer, but during drills I dislocated one of the starters sholders, the next game after he was healed I was a backup again 😔
I’m second sting running back and corner and I really wanna get off the damn bench and start I’ve been working my ass off but still can’t get it, I hope this video works
I did not even have to do this stuff I am a QB and the starter QB was injured and then I went in and I did amazing and now I have been a starter ever since
Спорт
lol i asked my coach what i needed to do he said " All you need to do is sit yo ass right back on that bench" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yall my coach mean asf
😂😂😂😂
Yo I feel bad for u
Keshawn Holton idc if u a bench player u don’t say that to ur players
Bro my coach nice he made everybody on the bench sub in for somebody else
Lol jokingly. If not, I want to meet ur coach 😂 😂
This works for everybody
**except my backup**
aye that comment was hella smooth
sucks when yo coach is biased for his kid. especially when your faster and stronger
Logan Glancy I feel you bro this happened my senior year
Logan Glancy Never happened to me for football, but happened in other sports. It sucks
sometimes it isn’t even they lif
kid*
Happened to me in 5th grade he got the rb spot and we only one 2 games
I've been a coach, at every level, from youth to pro, and I can't find anything wrong with what he said here. Sounds good to me.
CrookitLetta thanks!
I start football next year (freshman year) got any tips?
BlessedDevin look bro, I’m gon fill u in from a player and a brother perspective. Not Everyone gonna be ur friend, when u step on that field for practice or scrimmage, fight like ur life depends on it. I was benched my whole freshman year no one thought I was ever good enough, prove me wrong champ and just kno, hard work IS success. I’m heading home to my junior year now and I’ve been working on the fundamentals offseason and getting stronger. Focus on football and school and don’t let nobody tell u nothing. I’m a linebacker for varsity now btw😉
Gonna do weight training next Tuesday, I want to be as healthy as possible to be a good corner, any tips?
Simp
I'm a starter for the bench
Ayy same bro
😂😂😂😂
🤣🙏🤣
Not to brag but I was a second string bench warmer😏
Fr
Jedi mind trick your head coach
what if you are a young skywalker and don't know the force
Definitely works
Obi-Wan Kenobi Seems like a good idea to me
Thanos Car re position and use the force to your advantage
Obi-Wan Kenobi bruh
do the next 1 on football diets and how to prepare over the summer
Great idea
Emperor CJ yeah cus idk why I put on weight during football season
agreed
KnockFire it's most likely you are putting on weight due to muscle gain, or your increased appetite from the work could be the reason you are gaining weight
Emperor CJ true
I have he utmost respect for running backs. They get pounded every play and walk back like it's nothing. I'm a lineman so the contact I get their not running. Shout out to the running backs
Saucey J D line or O line? And AYE LINEMAN WE OUT HERE IN THE TRENCHES
Bay Area Trappuh lineman gang where it's at 🚀🚀
Everybody who wants to keep there position fights through pain, the line on both sides is the most important position
Saucey J thanks
Saucey J fax’s my team don’t even realize this and i got a trashy line and we run an i but i got a trashy fullback
The grind does not stop, wether you're 9 or 99! I was 5'8 as a sophomore but I earned my receiver spot by studying the game and making every rep at practice count, putting in 200% every day.
I'm a starter but I love this guy so I'm going to drop a like and watch
Sal Morales Thanks bro!
who else a starter and just wanna see this video
ZayZay D :)
Maui I made varisty my freshman year I did not start but I still got play time all through the playoffs
My parents want me to play and I'm trying not to make the team
Am I the only one who looked up tips on starting the play football???
Me
I remember getting a sack when I was put in but right after that he took me out and I didn't play the rest of the game
Jeffrey Campbell lol why
Jeffrey Campbell same
DarthJake 1-9? Do you live in Sc by any chance?
Don’t hate on Sc. We’re in the playoffs right now so.....
I feel but I never showed up and I was a dope player there were times I’d show out I’d get fumbles I’d get sacks I get catches there was a time I was lined up against our best corner and I was able to catch the ball over him didn’t get no Fucking recognition but thats just life
Thanks man I might be waterboy now I've been second string waterboy for 12 years 😤😤
Yes! That’s the number one thing. ASK QUESTIONS! Coaches love when you ask questions because they know you want to get better, my freshmen year i was benched the whole season till I had enough, I asked my coach on what I have to do to get better, I did exactly what he told me to and got to starting linebacker, NEVER GIVE UP!!
I wish coaches were like this
Starters be ready
alex youno i gotta watch my ass now 😂
alex youno crap 😂😂
Be confident in your skills, work extra on what you messed up on, outwork everyone at your position, don’t be afraid to compete with the starters, keep working no matter what
Thanks
this is facts asf I got my chance and I ran with it. now I'm the starting running back for my school as a freshman.
King Fredo you're school must suck ass If a freshmen is starting on varsity
Eloy Escamilla JR yeah unless the freshman is known/ranked
did Hami yeah but a freshmen on varsity he would be in a clear disadvantage as he is 4 years younger
not really we just won the district championship and went to the state semifinal
King Fredo that's a lie
This video hasn’t necessarily gotten me to a starting position just yet but it has made me realize the opportunities I have let up on. I’m mentally, and physically, more prepared for my next opportunity. I must ball the f out.
#dontbescaredoffailure
I used to watch these videos so much when I played football in highschool back in 2016-2017 so many good memories and good tips
I appreciate you bro. I'm thinking of starting it back up again but focusing on things that we all need now that most of don't play as much anymore. What would you wanna see on my channel now?

hey I'm subbed to u and ur videos really help me
@@cj2kstokes i'm happy you like the videos bro
in grade 10 i didnt even play a single game but during off season and i started to workout and work alot on stance and footwork and in grade 11 i started every game and we went 9-2 that season and some local university are watching me and my friend
shawn max I’m going into my first high school game in 11th grade but i have been working out and training every day any tips?
shawn max 🔥🔥
I was. In a similar situation in grade 10 I was on JV didn't get a lot of playing time I only got to played a little bit I wasn't a starter im doing off season workouts to get stronger and to get better and to get in shape to make varsity this year
All y'all saying " I've been a starter for 4 years " but it's nothing to be a starter on a shitty team
MVPJT_24 I was a starter my first year and the only game we lost was last playoff game to get to the little bowl
MVPJT_24 lolllll! Definitely my school but that just makes you feel shittier for being benched 😐
And being a starter on any team that is below JH. Because the coaches have to put everyone in, or should.
Ayy definitely my favorite RUclipsr for football stuff u gonna help me be prepared for my first football season as high school fresh man🏈 Keep if up👍
Bro GREAT TIPS being a HS Head coach in Florida these kids need to understand that the hard work and great mindset will pay off! Thanks for what you do!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips I’m a tight end and linebacker
Great video! Thanks for yours advice received in France!

I love your content bro 💯🏈

Thank you so much this really will help me. Btw I subscribed
This kind of helps. In Jr. High I was a monster and coaches including high school coaches were amazed. Well I was in a co-op meaning I played for a different school because the one I was in hadn't had football. Well I couldn't co-op through my 7-10th year and I'm now coming back as a sophomore and the coaches expect of me what I had in my Jr. High seasons
Thank you for the video I was in Illinois not to long ago in 6th-8th grade I was a beast I played both sides of the ball and every position except QB and TE but my position is DE and I’m in hs now in VA Jv team I’m in the 9th grade and two varsity players came down and took my DE spot and this video helped a bit I’m 2nd String and I get in the game a lot but not starting any advice

It depends on how good the coaches are but I came to practice everytime and got so good over time that I was a starter in my first U19 GFL game (GFL is the highest football league in germany)
Thank you great advice!
Mannn I love your channel
I appreciate you man!
Thanks man
Any chance you can make a video on some workouts you did while you were playing football? (Offseason)
Love all of your videos man, please keep it up. I'm a starter but you never know when someone may replace you
Ima Saftey and a running back, and I get put in every now on then , and I never knew what to really do to get into the starters position, this video is very appropriated , thanks bro
StrayLight Gaming you're welcome
As a DB who just started playing. I without even watching this video, can verify this. I got off the bench by being at practice and doing my job. Worrying about my guy or zone. The only thing I’d add, is respect. When coaches see you respect them, subconsciously, they respect you back and cut you a little slack when necessary
Even as a starter many of these tips are useful
I play lineman (both sides of the ball) and I'll be a freshman in August but we haven't decided starters yet I'm hoping I get to be a starter but even if I'm not I'm okay as long as we are winning and that's all that matters to me but I will push my body to the limits to be the best lineman on the team and be a starter
Thank you, I'm a freshman this year so it's gonna be hard to start but I think I can, thank you for the advice
yo its 4 years later lol how did it go
I accept because yesterday my coach wanted me to play DE and I didn't know the plays for that position so I told him and miss my chance hopefully I get another chance
I was a starter but we got a new player I have been to every game and every practice
to add on to ur tip "ball the f out" also learn to play smart. cuz I grinded the f out EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (rest on Sunday) of the 2 years I practiced with Varsity. I out worked my starter by FAR! weights running u name it, but 1. He's a very talented athlete and 2. he played Smart, like he knew how to adjust, and react in every situation. that's why he beat me at WR. so yea
Bench Gang We Lit🔥
I’m re-classing and transferring to a nationally ranked private school so hopefully this will help🙏🏽
Yea this will help me a lot!
Thx for the advice bro ur lit🔥🔥🔥
You stand up
I was a starter but I fractured my knee and now I'm 9th string for Varsity. I'm a running back, and I can't wait to get my title back
good advice bro appreciate it😉
I'm going to be a freshman next year and am looking forward to playing football. I want to be a running back but I've been stuck playing lineman since my first year. What can I do to show my coach that I can be more than a lineman?
thanks I needed that
@iknowfootball what are the best cleats for a LB/RB?
5 things to do in summer ball tryouts? Please going to try out and need advice
I was the starter last year but now a new center transferred from another school where he was the starter. We are about the same skill level but right now it’s a big ass battle for the spot wish me luck. I want to keep my spot but he wants it bad.
Did you get the spot?
I started at the beginning of the year but I’m really really small so the coaches moved a tall linebacker to corner and I got moved to the bench for the next 4 games. We made it to the championship and the corner who was starting over me couldn’t play, so I got to start. I had 8 tackles and a big pass break up on a long pass with 30 seconds left and we won 13-12!!!! Edit: I started on punt, kickoff, and kick return the whole season
it would be awesome on doing a video about diet and training off season
when I played DT on my high school football team I was a backup which I was cool with just in case the starter ( which was also a friend of mine.) needed some recovery time the coach put me in. of course the coach didn't call me a backup he called me a secret weapon.
I was a back up middle line backer, but during drills I dislocated one of the starters sholders, the next game after he was healed I was a backup again 😔
I’m second sting running back and corner and I really wanna get off the damn bench and start I’ve been working my ass off but still can’t get it, I hope this video works
Shoutout to all the 3rd string bench players
Yes this really helped thc man
im a starter but this really helped me
Dang bro I'm a freshman but have to play in varsity since the school is small. It's gonna be hard to start
I did not even have to do this stuff I am a QB and the starter QB was injured and then I went in and I did amazing and now I have been a starter ever since
i start outside line backer and WR , but those are the only positions i know , so i will practice other positions like safety and RB
