Answer 1

probbly not get some more muscle cuz ull get knocked around

Answer 2

okay ur 5 foot one hundred pounds. i think we'll both agree right off the bat that ur not going to be the running back who's running over guys and moving piles. ur fast. Being fast is good for a running back but believe me in football you'll never run forty yards straight through unless you're going in for a touchdown. More important that speed for running backs is acceleration and agility. It's good that ur fast but can you switch speeds quickly? If you have the acceleration to jog behind a teammate for a second then burst up the field as fast as you can in the blink of an eye and do you have the agility to make good cuts in the field? if you can do that i don't think your size will really matter.

Very interesting question. One major part of being a running back is manueverability and another is being able to take a hit. Yet another is ability to catch the ball at high speed. There's a good chance you have two of these 3 abilities and can make up for the missing one by using the other two well...

Remember momentum = mass * velocity, meaning it is determined by both speed AND mass.
So if you are travelling at a given speed 13 mph the mass 100 your momentum is 13mph * 100 = 1300 momentum. Meanwhile someone weighing 170lbs. but who can not pick up speed as quickly may be running at 8mph * 170 = 1360 momentum. So if you are really a good deal faster you can equal or beat their weight with your speed and ability to accelerate very quickly.

Since you are 100lbs. it means you're probability going to have a lot of pain tolerance to deal with larger players who hit you as you manuever through but, on the other hand, if you are fast enough so they can barely touch you then it should not be too much of a problem.

But, be prepared to be bombarded by your coach about questions involving "safety concerns" for your playing against much larger kids. A good strategy would be to train yourself against larger kids (preferably friends not on the team you already play football with) and then, if the coach starts giving you warnings, simply answer "I'll gladly play a practice with you so you can see my skill before you single me out" and then back it up by playing well against larger players.

The other solution, of course, is to bulk up. Using mass weight gainers (IE stepping up to a 4000-5000 calorie a day diet) and working with high weights in low rep sets (IE 6 or less repetitions per set) should help you bulk up.

Remember there are always exceptions to the "rules". Spud Webb was over a foot shorter than nearly all of his competitors and still made his fame in the NBA without gaining size or height. Don't count yourself out unless your performance itself singles you out.

Best luck.
