How to become...the best NFL player
Written by: Camden Maas
Introduction
Early Goals
One early goal for football is to have a good eligibility { getting good grades in school.} It will show to coach that you are a kid that takes his time on school. Because I know that school comes before football. Also another early goal is to start at an early age to start with flag football. So then you can move up to tackle football because if you go right away you might not know what to do so you have to start with flag football where you play and you learn for later years. Finally another one is that you can practice for later years here are some ways you can practice
Know what position you want to be.
Practice hard and daily.
Exercise hard, but take breaks.
Join groups or organizations to get a feel for what a team is.
Listen carefully to what your coach says.
- Watch football games or re-runs.
- Finally, be fearless.
Day to day life as a football player
One thing you have to do as a football player is to put your gear on like your shoulder pads how you put those on is to put your head in over the top and push your arms through the two arm holes. One arm goes through first. Your left arm through second and down over your head. Make sure the shoulder pads fit nicely over your shoulders and then you will strap and tie them and then you are ready.Next another thing on a day to day base is to work your legs to get stronger leg muscles. Some ways you can do that is…
Climb a Ladder
Step Ups
Go Climbing
Run laps
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
PUTT PADS ON CORRECTLY!
DO GOOD WARM UPS TO GET YOU READY!
