My first time.
Question
Hello Coach Louis, this is my first time joining a football team, but I have been playing football since a little kid, I am trying to join a team to be a wide reciever but I am skinny and I weigh about 155 pounds. Do you think I could become a wide reciever and if so, what is your advice towards me?
Thank you.
Answer
Dear Kwenton,
There is a great book on the market that can help you become a wide receiver. "Play Football The NFL Way: Position-by-Position Techniques and Drills for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams" by Tom Bass. Give this book a try. You will learn the proper technique needed to play wide receiver, if that is what you want to do? Another thing you can do is get into the weight room and start working out.
I know that you think you are too thin, however, do not put on weight just to put on weight, let it come natural do not rush it and hurt your health. Eat right, get lots of sleep, hit the weights, and you will get to where you want to go in a safe way.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Your friend, Louis
