I'd like some advice on getting freshmen started with strength training

[@mcinco__]

Invaluable information, thanks Carl. I wanted to know, would you be interested in breaking down some film for us so we can better understand different coverages and why a player did what they did to make a play?

[@carlbradford_]

Thank you for your feedback. I'm always interested in sharing knowledge of the game.

[@ignaciosaavedra5166]

Hi, I'm from Chile. American football is played here, not as professional as in the US, but we are making progress on that. I'm starting as a Linebacker, but I still have a lot to improve, especially in aggressiveness. Any tips to be more aggressive as LB?? PS: excuse my english.

[@carlbradford_]

The more you do film study and understand lineman blocks, the better you'll become as playing aggressive towards the line of scrimmage

[@Ohadjei-xp5gx]

Thank you.

Thanks, from a Packer fan. Can I still become a great linebacker -- for the Pack, preferably -- at 5'10", 170 lbs, 67 years old, and with an arthritic hip? 😁

Put the work in young man! 😂

What type of schedule should I do casue I’m in school and it starts at like 8 but ends at 6

[@carlbradford_]

Id recommend training at least 2x a week and the rest focus on football skill work. example is football practice during in season

[@JamesA.GGorrie]

Hey I'm only just starting to play football and still looking for my position, do you think I can play linebacker as a 6"2 181 lbs 14 year old with a good 40 time and quick feet/reflexes

[@not_yu]

As long as u can show the coaches that u a dawg because they gonna try to put u at corner

[@Mrdarksouls_]

Not at fourteen most likely but in highschool yeah just bulk

[@4hunnid_k]

Hey man you think I can play linebacker at 160-170 pounds ?. I’m in high school and I never played football before (Junior).

[@ilovemygirlfr1326]

depends, if u play in like small school thenits an ok weight, but if u okay for a mid or a high division school, u gotta be like 205-230

[@ilovemygirlfr1326]

good size for a corner back, linebacker u needa add more weight

[@johnfitch4057]

How would you teach a 10 year old to play inside linebacker?

[@carlbradford_]

It all starts with the stance and start. Id focus on that before anything
