Do you know why Peyton Manning wins?  Because he's a student of the game.  He has great mental abilities.  Tom Brady wins because he has heart and can come through in the clutch.  If you put those two together and surround them with a pretty good offense and a defense that doesn't allow too many points.  You're gonna have a great team.  You can talk about stats all you want, but all you need is the win.

Get down on all fours and alternately thrust your legs straight back, kinda like a mule kick. Go for the burn!

Without seeing you play, or perform even drills it is impossible for anybody on this board to tell you what position that you would be best suited to play. Alot would also depend on the type of defense your team plays. I you in an even front (4-3, 4-4, or even 6-2) or do you play an odd front (3-4, 5-2, or even 5-3). Does your team play an attacking 1 gap style or a more read and react 2 ga pstyle. \n\nWe don't know how strong or quick you are. We don't know the leve lof competion or size of the players in your league and team. On all but the biggest of HS football programs, 6 ft , 230 lbs is large enough to play Defensive line, OL or LB. \n\nBe aggressive, continue to work out, and havew faith that your coaching staff will put you in the best position to succeed and have your team succeed.

At only 13 you have a variety of things to try. Corner and WR being most obvious. Don't listen to the "you are too short" stuff. You will grow and the experience you get now will help in the future. Where do YOU feel comfortable playing? Talk to the coach and ask for an honest assessment of your skills. Hell, try out for LineBacker if you have the heart for it.

well maybe your a little light but your young and you can always hit the gym....and 100 yard in 11 seconds is damn good man........thats like 12 or 13 seconds in 100m....the world record is like 9.87 or something.....now either way my friend if you play football your gonna need that ability to take a hit because your definetly gonna get hurt.....its the name of the game\n\nbut to figure out what you wanna do then you have to ask yourself what you wanna really do.......do you wanna tackle ppl and make interceptions or do you wanna score and have glory\n\nnow the higher level of competition you get the more the coaches dont try you out in different positions and you have to pick yourself....i had to do that and didnt like it becasue i got cut lol....i probably had more talent at running back but i tried out for defensive back and wide receiver.....learn from my mistake.....dont worry about getting cut or force yourself to do a position you dont truly love.....do the position that you feel most comfotably in unless the coach says otherwise\n\nnow the different positons are:\n\nquarterback: throws the ball and manages the offense....usually the team leader\n\nrunning back is divided in two....fullback and half back...fullback usually really big and is the lead blocker for the half back who is usually the main runner of the team...the running game and also both running backs catch short passes\n\nthe receivers are the usually the fastest players who run routs and catch all sorts or passes\n\nthe tight end is usually a big guy who is half wide receiver half offensive lineman.....they sometimes help out and block but most of the time they catch intermediate distance passes in the middle of the field\n\nnow the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman are the biggest on the field.....offensive blocks the defensive lineman when their trying to rush the quarterback\n\nthe linebackers are in the middle of the defense and usually stop the run or cover receiver in short yard situations \n\nand the defensive backs are divided in two....safeties are the last line of defense and stay back in coverage....the free safety covers the deep passes and the wide receivers and the strong safety stay closer to the linebackers for run support or cover the tight ends........of course there are exceptions and its not always like this..........and finally the cornerbacks cover the receiver directly and usually follow them everywhere on the field\n\ni would suggest with your size and speed and you say your small that you play corner but i never liked it because you have to backpedal a lot and you have to be quick to react and not just fast because you dont know where the receivers going\n\nsafety might be too hard for you the first year because you have to know all the receivers routes and stuff more and know the passing tree\n\nand if you wanna be on offense then you might wanna be a half back because you run and if your quick then you could be like the next barry sanders or you could shake the defenders easily\n\nor you could be wide receiver because most of them are really tall but there are shorter receivers that are quick as hell but make it.....like joey galloway or steve smith.....but you have to be able to catch and run precise routes\n\nfinal thouht get buff work out at the gym and find out what you love and what positon you would like but when working out at the gym dont lose any speed because speed is very useful and speed kills\n\ngood luck

The coaches will be looking for fundementals.  Make sure that you do everything the right way and make good throws.  If you need to, overexaggerate things like catching flyballs with two hands, and fielding groundballs in front of you.

All you have to do to get a moderately good one easy is to answer personallity questions well and score a 100 on the I.Q. test.  After you do well during the season, try to win the Superbowl and the Maddel Bowl and your popularity will increase immensly.

Your still growing..  DE a good position, but here is more to being a good footbal player that size and muscle.. Speed, quickness, football smarts and being aggressive have to be there too..  \n\nwithout the desire, dedication and discipline you will never be a great DE..

Work on Your speed and strength. Start lifting weights on a regular basis and eat healthy. A great speed drill is to get parachutes that go on your back. do series of wind sprints with them on your back. they work great and your speed will improve. remember in football today speed is the most important thing you can take to the table.

Look confident, and hustle. Act like you belong, know what you do best and try to take advantage of your strengths, whether its dribbling, passing, jumping or shooting the rock. By all means don't try to be something you are not, you will just look stupid, play within yourself and you will be alright...Good Luck.

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.

Where I live  the backs will average between a 4.4 and 4.8. A five flat wouldn't get an opportunity unless he was a good blocking fullback. If you have an opportunity go for it good fullbacks are hard to find.

Play hard, Play with heart, Play smart. Try your hardest and never quit. Focus on your basics. Good kicks, good traps, good runs. Believe in yourself and you will do well.

It all depends on you.  Football is a game of speed and strength.  If you want to be good at it you have to be bigger and faster than everyone else on the field.  Weights are important for about an hour or so a day, but don't forget about speed.  Find a gradual incline in a road or sidewalk or park somewhere, measure off 40 or 50 yards and sprint up the hill.  Do that about 10 times or so with a short break in between each rep.  I did this, ran distance the other 3 days a week (took sundays off) going into my Junior year.  I dropped 0.30 sec off my 40 time.  Good luck!
