Go to a sports bar and pick the big fat guy sitting with other men talking sports.  Date him.  On dates you will end up on his couch watching old football tapes on espn and listening to him talk about football.  You may not find love...but you'll learn football

While there are strategies on and off the field to learn, this is a people business.  Knowing how to communicate to people to motivate them to achieve their best is what you want to focus on.\nDo your homework by finding out where the current and recent past coaches came from.  Find the name of every coach for every team in the NFL over the last 10 years.  Find out what their backgrounds were.  Did they start as players?  Coach college first?  Find the coach(es) that you want to embrace as role models, not for their winning record, but for their ability to get the job.  A background you can relate to and emulate.  Start with coaching right now.  City league football or YMCA or HS asst. coach.  Try private schools since they're not a govt. agency they may be easier to get started with.  There's nothing like doing it to learn to do it.  You have to be able to asst. coach HS before you can asst coach college ball.  You have to understudy a good college head coach before you can be a College Head Coach.  If you can't with a college team, you won't be going to the NFL.  You have to prove yourself so you might as well get started.  Degrees and resume qualifications won't get you the job.\n\nThis is a relationship based business.  Start placing yourself in correct environment to initiate, build and nurture those relationships.  Look on the sidelines and find out who's there and who they work for.  Relentlessly pursue the job that puts you on the sidelines.  Read "The 21 Indisputable Laws of Leadership" by John Maxwell.  Get a hold of the team chaplin and volunteer to help him with anything, making copies, running errands, anything.  Don't take "no" for an answer.  Don't be annoying, be persistant.  Did I mention to refine your people skills?\n\nGo for it!

Always try to find the open space. Pay attention to the off side rules. Learn to kick the ball in a way that the ball ends up were you want to send it..  The same heading the ball. Practice until you can do that. The ball is the tool of the game.

You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

Oh boy - about a 1000 things come to mind in less than a second.  Here are a few thoughts to get you started:\n\nFirst, there are no magic answers and there are no guarantees.  You can do everythign you can to prepare in the offseason, but you may flat get beat by someone better than you.\n\nSecond - HS is 4 year program; be patient if you are a freshman.\n\nThird - be a team player; if the coach needs you somewnere else, accept that.\n\nStarters and stars are not made during the season; they are made in the offseason.  Physcial and mental preparation are king.  Don't expect to go into camp and be built into a starter.  I guarantee your competition is working in the offseason and so you must.\n\nIn the offseason:\n\npractice your skills seems the obvious answer, but just going out and throwing the football around isn't going to help you a whole lot.  You must practice with intent; you must practice with effort - one thing I tell my team is "You play like you practice".  Go ahead and write that down and tape it on your bedroom door and anywhere else you will see it every day.  \n\nThe first thing you need to do is open your mind and accept coaching.  That may seem simple, but if you have been doing something a certain way for a while and your coach wants to tweak or change it, you need to try.  For example, if you are throwing with a low release point (e.g. side aremed) the coach may try to get you to throw more over the top.  Don't fight him, listen to him.  There is a reason he is adjusting your throwing motion even if you have had past success your way.\n\nYou need to break the physical skills into the major components and practice those until you can do them in your sleep and then 'rep' them some more.  (In a triple option attack it takes the QB a good 300 to 400 repetions to get the two option reads down pat alone much less the pitches and the passing part of the game).  \n\nSome of the physical skills you need to break down and practice are: \n- taking the snap from center and push off from center\n- footwork for a 3 step drop, a 5 step drop and possibly a 7 step (if your system uses them) \n- your footwork for giving a handoff and misdirection plays that require you to change direction.  Much effort and emphasis is put onto passing and not enough on sound skills in the running game.  Passing is the single hardest thing to do in football even for the pro's.  In HS, I would venture to guess that the vast majority of your offense is predicated on the running game.  If you don't knwo the running game or can't make the handoffs, pitches, fakes, and misdirections quickly, you won't play. \n- Work on your play action fakes and learn to hide the ball on play action passes.  \n- Work on your throwing motion and accuracy.  (you can improve accuracy by thowing at targets such as hula hoops raised up to a reciever level or trash cans - don't accept aythign less than a bullseye).  \n- Work on opening your hips correctly when you come out from under center.  \n- Work on your footwork and your hips in yoru throwing motion.  \n\nWhen practicing a skill - for example, footwork coming out from under center.  Start with the first step (both to the left and to the right) and do it slowly every day in short sessions of about 25 reps each - get four sessions a day.  Demand perfection in yourself.  For example, Put tape on the floor to mark where you toe should hit every time on your first step.  Hit it everytime.  When you hit it everytime (about a 100 times in a row without missing), pick up the speed.  Rep it.  Add the next step - slow at first, then pick up the speed.  Form and muscle memory are more important than speed.  If the motioni is burned into your mind and body at slow speed, it will happen correctly at full speed.\n\n- Have someone film some of your practices and watch yourself to find errors.\n\n- Go to QB camps.\n\n-Do speed training.\n-Lift weights.\n-Get out with several rece

Watch the nfl network, go to nfl.com, play madden or tape the games during the season and when your football jones gets too bad pop in a tape. you usually already know who won the game but at least there is some football on.

Considering that you placed this question in the Football Category, you could probably do something in Football. Be a player, or do something concerning the sport.

football is not boring, football is really fun to watch. if you knew more about the game, maybe you would like it more. you should watch a game with a football expert and ask him questions.

First you need to understand all the rules of the game being played or it will just look like weird anarchy interrupted by officials stopping the flow for mysterious reasons. Then all the terminology and jargon associated with the sport. Then the history of each sport to provide context as the commentators are always referencing this or that last season or 20 years ago. Then the players and on and on. But start with the rules or all the rest will not mean anything.
