10 MISTAKES First Time Football Players Make

[@brokendreamer4577]

Davante Adam’s actually never played football until his junior year in high school that goes to show that you can always pick up on it and be great

[@firstdowntraining]

No doubt! Appreciate you sharing that

[@DeezerWeezer20]

u gave me confidence thank u

I’m starting as a freshman, pray for me

[@richardfleming5152]

I always think of Ziggy Ansah when people say it’s too late to play football.

[@ismell_oli]

Never played football in my life and I'm playing for my first time this yr and its tackle still got no idea what I'm gonna play but this was super useful

[@firstdowntraining]

Awesome to hear man! Thank you for watching- glad this could give you some value

Going into my first season as a Semi Pro Wr, not sure if I'm too old but I'd definitely be interested in going to one of your camps next year

[@firstdowntraining]

Definitely not too old! We have guys your age attend every camp- here is the sign up info www.firstdowntraining.com/book-online

[@lilcapgotu4843]

Coach! I love your videos and I want to know if you can make anything on Tight ends. I try and look up things for tight ends but the videos are a lot older, and not really that useful, and you make things a lot easier to understand and teach in a way I can learn, so if you think you can make a video or something like that Covering the tight end position, that would be great! Blocking, running out for a pass, catching, route running, All of that.

[@firstdowntraining]

I got you- I’ll make some content. Thank you very much for the feedback! And giving a clear description of the video that you want. A lot of guys just go “give me a TE video” and don’t really give me much to go off

[@JoshuaVacek]

Yes, my son is a smaller "Y" receiver/tight end in 8 man foot ball. Would love to see a video on that

[@13devdev]

This is going to be my first time playing football because I'm from jamaica and we play mostly soccer there andbecause im a smaller guy I will be playing kicker but my coach also put me at running back

[@firstdowntraining]

Yessir, hope this video was able to help! Thank you for watching

[@shutup1999]

honestly my football coach makes us do oklahama drills with no leg pads, and in fact there is helmets cracking and popping and people getting the breath knocked out of them. but im not saying you are wrong abt anything because my team does need to get better at tackling. i think i actually got a broken rib the first day of padded practice

[@firstdowntraining]

Yeah I think the Oklahomas can get way out of hand. It’s good if proper technique is taught

[@shanekabo8684]

Coach! I love your videos and I want to know if you can make anything on conditioning for football especially for the summer conditioning We have during football workouts.

[@firstdowntraining]

Yes absolutely can, thank you for the feedback!

[@pugbentleypug5476]

Our coaches have us run Oklahoma most days and if it a no pad walkthrough then we still have to do a pop

[@firstdowntraining]

Gotcha- that’s not a bad thing I’d say

[@yousifshashati3614]

I’m 21 and jus wanna play walk on bc I jus fell in love with the game and been studying it like crazy I learned every single type of coverages the differences between them the strengths and the weaknesses of each coverage and I also learned the best time ti scramble depending on the coverage what positions to throw to in each coverage that have the highest % receiving it so due the mental aspect I’ve feel like I’m very knowledgeable but I’ve never acc played and I wanna be a Qb jus wondering if u think it’s too late or should still make a Strive for it

[@firstdowntraining]

I understand what you said about still practicing during the season but what if you can’t afford a private coach or anything

[@firstdowntraining]

Watch this channel! We post a ton of drills you can do on your own!

[@youngprince6296]

Hey coach it’s my first year playing football in general. I missed spring ball and will be the last to get my pads. We have a camp in two weeks and we will be going to pads. Should I ask my dad to buy some or should I wait just in case I get some decent ones?

[@firstdowntraining]

I would get some cheap ones so you can practice in them. If you want to spend money I would use those at school- it’s likely that the school pads may not be the best quality

[@wigglyhalo7496]

My team fcked up so hard during the season we got a second hell week 😂
