      100% my coaches valued blocking a lot and although I wast the best on are team at being a reviver I was by far the best blocker and I started over some kids who were beter receivers

    Bro I really needed this. My brother convinced me to start playing football so I signed up for it and everything. But I have barely any experience. My brother and I have been practicing different routes for hours, and learning how to effectively catch a football from close and from a far. I have 5 routes down so far. But I start my first practice in tomorrow and I want to look dumb so I am learning everything before then. And one thing I have been struggling with is getting past the DB. I have never played any very physical sports before so I don’t feel comfortable using my full force to push some out of the way. And even when I did I felt like it created bad tension between me and the DB. I am going to try the first 2 ideas that you put but if those don’t work then I guess I will do the last one

  • @Buddaman12
    @Buddaman12 Před rokem +2

    Don't forget WR'S always dont to have to go deep they should go for more of the short route because it helps more for yardage and first downs. And also dont put alot of pressure on yourself just feel free WR Is a hard Position to get use to espically if a good db is covering it takes alot of practice and when you practice you can nail the position i started getting better when i was 11 and i been playing since i was 5 so patience is key to being a good WR.

    @smoothasmr8392 Před 2 lety

    Should I stay low the entire route? Because if I start coming up then the db will now I’m about to cut or break. But I won’t be able to run full speed (to sell the fade) if I’m low. Or should I stay low (the whole route) for short plays (10 yards or under)?

    • @firstdowntraining
      @firstdowntraining  Před 2 lety +1

      So it’s like that area in between- you want to keep a “consistent” pad level rather than a low pad level- as long as you’re not like leaning back or raising up you won’t have any indicators and that’s what we want to focus on

      Honestly you just kind of have to not think about that stuff- you’re definitely big enough at your age to be successful but everyone has these worries their first year. Just don’t be afraid of the contact-it’s honestly not that bad. Just focus on doing your job each play, how you can take care of the ball and then when the play is over move onto the next
