Question

im gonna b reciever 4 my team next year. plz list all the basics of being a great reciever!!! if u played reciever once name ur best catch.

Answer 1

Remember your routes
Patrice with you QB on and off the field
Work on your leg muscle

Drink allot of water - and Gatorade
Get out when your nephews and let them try to catch learn them moves like Barry Sander's had even though he was a RB .

Don't be afraid of the ball let it break a knuckle are two Brett Frave broke all Freeman's knuckles have good hands the good hands will put you in college and than the NFL.

Work weights more on the legs and Ab's, Jog everyday its not raining.
Take a tennis ball and hit the ground pop the wall a catch harder and harder to get faster and faster the ball will get out of control you make sure you catch it how ever it come off the wall.
This well keep you flexible!!! ( Have someone help you on this )

Mine would be the Hail Marry in a game against are schools rival only because I'm tall on that catch it may have been luck but everyone loved it in school that following Monday they said my name over the intercom and the girl's like it too:~)

Stay with your dream i stoped and chase girls most do or get burned out focus and make it only this best do and if you want to play with the best you got to be as good as the best or better!!

Answer 2

Ok being a reciever mean first being able to catch the ball with your hands away from your body and at the highest point. Next learning the routes each route has a number even numbers go toward the inside odd numbers to the outside. 1 is a hitch 2 is a inside hitch 3 is a fade 4 is a slant 5 is a 5 yard up and out 6 is a inside curl 7 is a deep fade 8 is a post and a 9 is run straight down the field route. Also you need to be able to use your hands to fight off bump and run coverage and have speed to beat corners.

Answer 3

the first thing to be a good reciever is obviously being able to catch the ball, and hold onto it after being hit, the second would be learning your routes, you should be able to do your route without even thinking about it, thirdly being able to adjust your route according to how the defender(s) is defending you. the most important thing is what you do when the play called is not directed at you, reading the qb so to speak, say the play called is for u to do a 10 and out, and the other reciever to do a hitch, and the ball is supposed to be thrown to the hitch reciever, say the defender reads the play and doesn't allow him to do his hitch, and at the same time the qb gets flushed out of the pocket, and has to scramble to your side of the field, you recognize this and instead of doing the 10 and out u break the route at 5 yds and cut out, the qb sees u, and throws it to you instead... the moral of the story. not all pass plays are designed for one reciever, usually there is a main target, and the other recievers are given patterns also , because of the situation i described above...

now as far as great moments and memories, in high school (1984) i was given a play were i was to run a 5 yd and in pattern the defense ran an all out blitz, right at the snap, i quickly recognized this and did a quick slant right from the line, the qb saw me at the last second, right before getting hit and managed to get the ball to me, i caught it , and broke 1 tackle(the only one on the defense that was there)ended up going the distance(65yds) for the score.. now i wasn't even the 3rd fastest reciever on the team, but was probably the only one paying attention to things, and used it for the advantage(coaches love this more then speed) i know i now coach that team, and would take that over speed anyday........

Answer 4

it depends on what level youre playing at. If it is high school the most important thing is to learn the fundamentals. Learn the rules, the differnt routes, where to line up and stuff like that. Next I would get in good with the coaches and teammates. Go to all off season events and practices. It helps build team unity. Then I would get in good shape, running and stuff and work on keeping toned at least in the gym. Play catch as much as you can to make your hands softer.

Answer 5

Basics you need:
1. Good speed and good acceleration, along with the ability to not telegraph your pattern or when you're going to cut.
2. Soft hands.
3. Lack of fear in going over the middle.
4. Ability to take a hit and hold onto the ball, as well as ability to avoid tackles once you've caught the ball.
5. Ability to block.

Answer 6

Run precise routes and catch with your hands.

Answer 7

To be able to catch the ball, speed, and learing that you have to catch the ball before you begin to run with it. (Alot harder than it sounds)

Answer 8

speed, good hands, agility, alertness, good route running abilities, good fake moves, and good blocking skills, and the ability to hang on to the ball when you get popped

Answer 9

Answer 10
