And even then you need masses of natural ability. -- Posted by esofad at 5:16 pm on Feb. 28, 2007 Quote: from esofad at 5:10 pm on Feb. 28, 2007 i dont play sports t so im asking you guys that do  my bro is 15 years old and he wants to play football  he is pretty much in shape but for more like basketball tho  but he is a fast a$$ runner and bowl legged and all he do at school is play ball but his school dont have a team its just like a few pals of his that play.  so what type of work outs should he do  o yea he wants to be a runner back  so what type of stuff should he do  is it good for him to work out alot on saturdays (he lays down playing da game all the time) i tell him if he wants to be sucessful in life he gotta put work in to it. so help me out...im a music person not sports i meant running back -- Posted by ychennay at 12:11 am on May 30, 2007 Esofad, if he wants to play in college, he's got to get some experienced playing organized football(and not casual games with friends). -- Posted by Fraser Stewart at 3:55 am on Aug. 14, 2007 He needs plenty of speed. -- Posted by MichiganFootball at 6:11 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Do lunge laps, straight leg deadlift, squats(3x10), and do some agility stuff. Thats what kind of I do.. and It helps out alot -- Posted by dreamweaver at 12:56 pm on Aug. 21, 2007 Try talking to the coach about it and see if he can help your brother out by suggesting some work outs. I know a lot of basketball players that also play football, so the workouts aren't that different except of course, football is based more on strength and basketball is on speed. -- Posted by DESKPOWER at 8:11 am on Aug. 23, 2007 Quote: from dreamweaver at 12:56 pm on Aug. 21, 2007 Try talking to the coach about it and see if he can help your brother out by suggesting some work outs.
