Answer
Jeremmy, hello!

You need to continue to work hard, stay on a healthy diet and learn the rules of football.  You will improve over these coming years.  Do not take any kind of enhancement drugs.  Do not lift more than the recommended weight amounts.  Take the advice of the athletic trainers in your school.  They know the schedules you should remain on.  Your time will come.

Take care,

Thom Brooks
