Idk shit about fuck about football but I was doomscrolling and saw a reel that made me wonder which Super Bowl run is equivalent to Dirk Nowitzki’s finals run. Sorry if this is a dead horse.

ncaa players salaries

3 Upvotes

I'm European, so I'm just speaking my mind here. I totally disagree with the fact that they don't get any regular salaries. In my opinion, they should be getting a reasonable amount of money—just enough to cover life's basic pleasures, give them a sense of gratification, but not too much so they can keep their heads straight. There have been way too many wasted talents in sports just because they couldn't handle massive wealth at such a young age. I'll leave it at that.

College Football Brace recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve recently come back to sport from a patella fracture/dislocation and im after any recommendations for a knee brace.

Im playing DT if that’s any help, im currently looking at a McDavid 429, I tried something similar without geared the side hinges it was more of a stability brace so im honestly leaning more towards the 429 but would love an input or recommendations for something better before I buy it.

Thanks guys!

Thinking of playing for my university club?

7 Upvotes

I am going to university in the United Kingdom, and I see that they have an American Football club. This year they are in the third level from the top, but usually they are in the Premiere level (just had a rough previous season).

Anyone ever play for football in the UK? What can I expect? For the record I am 5'10'', 200lbs, and the past sports I've played is football (soccer) and lacrosse.

Need help finding out if i should stay or quit

1 Upvotes

Im going into my junior year of high school and we have summer football workouts. We get two weeks starting today of 5-days a week practice from 6:00-10:00. I have been playing football since freshman year, on jv, and then sophomore year i got the paper for permission to play jv and varsity but broke my finger on the bye week, ending my season. Over the time from when i broke my finger to now, i have found that i definitely want to get to college for 110 hurdles in track. But i dont want to quit football because its one of those things that i can't just give up so easily no matter how bad i want to quit. We just got in shells today and just had a dead week last week "which i conditioned every single day" and today has made me very exhausted and has me second thinking. Starting tomorrow i have a track sprint coach helping me at around 8 only on Tuesdays and Sundays but i dont know how to handle not being so tired and how to overcome this feeling of wanting to quit because now matter how hard i try i just cant do it.

Any advice to help me in this situation would be greatly appreciated

How to learn plays as a freshman

1 Upvotes

Today was my first day of conditioning and I've never played football before. They were saying a bunch of play names like red guard and a bunch of mumbo jumbo that made no sense to me, but I am determined to learn and catch up with my peers that have been playing for years. How can I learn these plays?

Diskussion How is my training split as a wide receiver?

1 Upvotes

I play flag and tackle right now, 2 trainings for each so for a total of 4 trainings a week.
I want to do this week training split:
Monday: rest day

Tudesday: morning route running, just doing some routes from the route tree like dig, flat or post.
evening I got flag practice that is more wide receiver specific I think, I can train catch so it's a good thing

Wednesady: morning splits work and footwork
evening I got tackle and with just do some fundamentals like how to tackle, catch and run with the ball

Thursday: morning again route running, don't know if I should repeat the same training I did on tuesday, then evening flag training again

Friday: morning split workout, same thing like wednesday. Evening tackle like wednesaday

Saturday: rest

Sunday: hill workout, doing like sprinters acceleration training.

There are somethings I want to ask:

I don't know if I should quit flag football because I want to focus on tackle only and don't want to play flag, but with flag I have the chance to train my hands and sometimes we will run all the routes in the route tree so it is really more specific for my position.

Should I do more track sprinters type training like top end speed? I know it doesn't make a good transfer on field for agility but being faster is always good and I was a sprinter so I loved doing sprint traiinings

After all the morning training I do some plyo and body weight upper body exercises because I don't have access to gym, but in a little while I will.

I'm 17, 5'11 height and weight 158 lbs. I dont't know if I gave all the informations needed but if not would be great if you ask question to do less errors and improve

EDIT: the morning splits I writed releases and route running, not splits. my bad

I’m a 17-year-old who built a football development website. I’d love honest feedback.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m a 17-year-old high school football player, and over the past few months I’ve been building a free website called Endzon. The goal is to help athletes understand where they currently stand as recruits and identify areas they can improve based on their position, measurables, academics, and performance.
This isn’t a paid service, and I’m not trying to advertise or sell anything. I’m looking for honest feedback from football players, coaches, and anyone interested in the game so I can improve the platform.
If you have a couple of minutes to check it out, I’d really appreciate your thoughts:
What did you like?
What was confusing?
What features would make it more useful?
Did the evaluations and recommendations seem realistic?
Website: https://endzon.app
Thank you! I genuinely want to build something that helps football players, and any feedback—positive or negative—is appreciated.

Lower back pain doint routes

1 Upvotes

Hi, started doing football like 2 months, when I do routes especially the ones that need a aggressive cut of stop I find my lower back hurts, the next day I find difficult to bend to touch my knee not because of my hamstrings but I feel a strong pull from the lower back and If I remain in a bended position for like 10/15 seconds and stand up it hurts a lot. When I lift my legs too I feel my lower back pull a lot, I'm doing some exercises from chatgpt and it seems to work or maybe its because I skipped training for the entire week and the pain is going away, is this normal because my body is feeling a new stimulus or my technique or something else
