I will not dignify rude or disparaging comments with a response. I also will not entertain questions that use profanity. Football officials don't seek to “screw” any team Such an insinuation is ridiculous and ludicrous.

Question i am 16 5'10 sophomore i wanna play running back what can i do to get faster stronger and bigger before next season
Answer Thomas,
Hit the weight room and start running and conditioning. Weight lifting is very important to build the muscle strength and mass you need. Equally important is your muscle memory, endurance and ability to power run. Talk to your school's strength coach or your football coach for a workout program. Also your school's track coach can help you with your speed and running. You need to run at least 4 times a week and do speed drills and sprints 2-3 times a week if you are not running track. You size will come with your natural growth and weight training.
Best of luck,
