Most Scouts or Front Office people of Major league sports, are usually former athletes themselves.  As for a Major any business related theme, or sports management ( if offered).\n\nI would suggest taking classes in Psychology and sociology as well.\n\nSome colleges do offer sports themed majors.  \n\nThe main thing about getting a position for a Major league team is more of WHO you know than WHAT You Know.\n\nLook for internships, see if you can volunteer during the summer or offer help, just to get your foot in the door while still in college.\n\nSee if you can work with you College Athletic department, they do have student volunteers and the experience and networking with professional will help you in your long term goal.\n\nGood LUCK!!!!

Be a top 50 player at your position coming out of college.  If they rate you there then you will get invited.

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.

Depends how good you are in football. I think the California State University system would gladly take you if you're good, but you'll have to do community college before because you have a GED.

join a good football team. I'm a scout and go 5 matches a day. then try to apply for the Gary Neville school of soccer it has many scouts looking for talent. Blackburn has the best opportunities!

Get an agent and be darn good if you do not belong to a College team as a first string.

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

Play football. Actually, declare for some really obscure degree, then change when you get there.

Well if you have speed go for football. If you can catch offense if you can't then defense. Hope this helped

well first off, you better be in some sort of sports management or sports law program.  and you better send your resume to every single team at least once.  some mlb teams get close to 1000 apps for every internship

Sports agents deal with people all the time, so taking some kind of public speaking, communications, or speech class could help you with your preferred career choice. Agents are always on the phone talking to clients, owners, and many, many other people. They need good people skills. Make sure you develop those skills early so you can be successful.

A good coach is first of all a good teacher. Ability to communicate, especially with the appropriate age group is important. Understanding of the game, beyond fascination from the fan perspective is important. Playing experience is usually a huge plus. In college, understanding of recruiting is huge.

Scouts for each team look at college players and the best ones go to the draft. Some may not get chosen though

Hey Malu,\nContact the coaches at the schools you are interested in going to and someone there will tell you what you need to do. Usually they want a highlights tape and one game tape. If they are impressed with what they see they will send a scout out to you or you will be asked to try out at the school. If that doesn't work out you can always try to walk on... this means you try out for the team and if you make it you won't be on scholarship your first year but possibly starting your sophomore year.
