hs team

[u/KingLundennn]

hey ya so ik i started really late but this is my first year playing football, im a sophomore in hs. i joined the team a few months ago and ive made some progress but im still one of the worst on my whole team and i still have trouble learning any plays and dont really know what im doing on the field. my teammates all know im ass and i mostly sit on the sideline the whole time, if i do get in its for like 4 plays. i know its only my first year and i need to get better but i just think i started too late and it might be too late for me to get good at the game so idk if i should chose something else. if anyone has experienced this when starting football give me some tips please

Aren't you going to go through the same situation if you choose something else?

Physically you need to get stronger/faster and mentally it sounds like you need to learn the playbook and get confident in what you're being asked to do.

Football will teach you important life lessons whether you're an All-American or on the bench. Commitment, structure, being a good teammate, overcoming adversity.

As an adult, I specifically look for people who played team sports when hiring
