Need motivation...9 months

[Geronimo42]

Title explains some of my situation. I play football, and I'm going to be on varsity next year. Workouts start in late January, but the actual season begins in around July. My weight as of right now is between 122-123, (it fluctuates throughout the day), and I need to be between 165-185 pounds ideally. I don't care if it seems unrealistic it WILL happen. I will be doing the workouts provided by my coach as well as my own, on days I go to the gym after school, or before school. (The coach has a thing where players can be in his first hour instead of actually having a class where all we do is workout, and it's early in the morning before school). I'm pretty sure I have most of what I need, but any tips you may have to help increase my gains, maybe exercises that are important or will help me bulk up faster, etc. Please note I am mainly focused on bulking up so any tips on that are appreciated. I will provide weight gains and such daily, however I don't know if I will add pictures everyday. Maybe for when I think I make real progress, not sure yet. Any help would be great, please keep the attitude light and kind, there's no need for any demotivational comments here.

you need all kinds of surplus.

To put it simple OP, eat a lot and lift heavy. When I say eat a lot, I'm talking 3,500-4000+ calories.

Listen to this guy, he's 100 % right. Take some weight gainer to help with calorie surplus if you can't eat enough.
