Hello everyone...I am a sophomore and I have been told by a couple coaches that I have the potential to play division 1 College ball. I was wondering if anyone could help give me some tips, advice, anything really, to help me reach that goal...as of now, I play Wide Receiver, Safety, and Punt Returner...My stats so far (2 games played) are 3 TD's, 7 catches for 98 yards, 2 punt returns for 54 yards
Stats...
Age - 15 (birthday april 17)
40- 5.00
Bench Max - 170
Squat Max - 275
GPA - 3.00

Bench 150% of body weight
Squat 250% of body weight
40 yd. 4.6 and below
Vertical 36"
G.P.A. 3.00 or above

Well if you arent already playing varsity football, being a starter on varsity as a junior will definitley help you. I dont what part of the country or how big a school you are playing at, but you have a lot higher chance of getting recruited if you are playing for one of the top teams in your state (preferably a big time high school football state like Texas or California). I would say that one thing that you probably need to improve on is your 40. Everything else seems fine and if you keep on putting up great numbers you will get recruited but if you are gonna be a wide receiver, defensive back, or punt returner at the college level you are gonna need a 40 that is between 4.4-4.8.

Simply this- bust your ***. Sorry I dont have a step by step guide on what to do, but thats the jist.
Sorry to say but if you're fast and have hands you can play wideout, everybody knows that. You're 40 is average, you need to work a lot on your squats and leg power- for burst, jumping, and much needed speed. Eat right and stay in shape, and more importantly stay focused. Dont think sports will be your life, focus on academics as well, that'll help you stand out more than just another meathead. Speak with the V coaches on things they think you can improve on before next season when you want to try out for V if not already on the team. But if you are on, ask things you can just improve on all around. Think about attending an offseason camp.
Depends on your height, obviously taller is better and well weight should average between 170-205.
Your location is very important as well. You're going to want to be on the map obvoously to be noticed. I fortunately grew up in the DFW metroplex area so I've had to play against schools and seen schools such as Euless Trinty, Cedar Hill, Plano, Fossile Ridge, Denton Ryan, Keller, and well last 3 years #1 HS in nation SOUTH LAKE CARROLL... whom has won three consecutive state championships, four in the last five years, and is 79-1 since first competing in Class 5A in 2002. They rejected offers by MTV for filming of their football team for TWO-A-Days (they just snapped a 49 game win streak on 9/15/2007 against now #1 in the nation Miami... but prior they lost in the last regular season to my HS, Fort Worth Boswell- my freshmen year. wha what!)

5.00 in the 40. u do realize thats slow. and if u play wide receiver or punt returner you are going to have to improve your 40 time a lot. your bench and squat max are way too low, but you are 15 you just have to work out a lot during the offseason on condition. besides i think the coach tells everybody they have potential so he doesnt hurt players feelings.

How bad do you want it?
You gotta have heart. If you have heart you will work hard enough to get there.
Work on your strength and speed, but do it with heart.
Stay away from girls too. They'll get you in trouble. Seen it many times. You'll find the right girl someday, but leave em alone for now and focus on your goal.
One last thing, perhaps the most important, is to pray for what you desire.

Just work hard and put your mind to it. If you dont have faith then watch the movie Rudy. I dont even know you and I have faith in you.
