    Help me get into football shape to reach my dreams.

    My dream is too make it to the NFL. Thing is i dont have any experience and my highschool dosent have a football team. My plan is to go to a community college this upcoming September and play football and get a scholarship and transfer to a D-1 FBS school. Dont tell me its impossible because MANY current NFL players have taken this route.Some who never even played football in HS like me. Michael Jordan once said "i can accept failure but i cannot accept not trying". I need to get bigger,stronger and faster. I contacted the coach at the college i want to go and told him my story and he said i can still play. So that right there is an opportunity. So can anoyone tell me how? Make me a good routine or suggest one.

    Heres my routine:

    Monday:Lower body
    Squats:5x8
    Leg Curls:4x12
    Leg Press:5x8
    Calf Raise:5x8

    Tuesday:Upper Body
    Bench Press: 3x8
    Shoulder press:3x8
    Lat Pulldown:3x8
    Lat Row:3x8
    Tricep dip:3x8
    Bicep curl:3x8

    Wednesday:cardio , football agility drills

    Thursday:Lower Body
    Friday:Upper Body

    Saturday and sunday:Cardio,football drills

    My set back is that i have no coach or anyone to help me do anything related to this. So im forced to try and buss my ass and do everything my self. I dont even know if im doing the right required exercises need to get in football shape. Another thing is that i get tired way to fast and i usually start feeling lightheaded,dizzy,nauseous. I dont know if its my cardio. Can you guys help me? Like if my routine isn't really good what is a better routine that would get me in shape.

    Im 5'11
    About 155-160
    Body fat around 18-20%

    Your routine is ok for upper body, but you might need to do some different things like: straight leg deadlifts (great for hamstrings) and definetly some power cleans if you have a place to do them.

    The most likely reason your getting tired fast is because your not eating enough. Make sure your eating alot of complex carbs about an hour or so before your workout, and alot of calories and protein 15-30 minutes after your workout

    Didn't you just make a thread about this yesterday? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=150837483

    Do not be redundant. If you really want help reaching these goals, then telling people "do not tell me I can't do it" is really not a good thing to say. You are going to be told that, because your dream is unrealistic. You've already said you didn't play football at all in high school and missed the recruiting process. Now your saying you are going to pull a Cam Newton, and make it to the NFL through a JUCO? Unless you are a freak athlete and can learn a position in a year(which is impossible when your opponents will have been played for upwards of 5-10 years) and then proceed to break multiple records at your school and state and then SOMEHOW get picked up by a University through a walk on you aren't going to get drafted or UDFA. I'm not saying this to be "mean", but you need a dose of reality. No one is saying you can't be the best athlete you can be though. I say go for it, if you've got your mind set on it. But there is literally a person everyday on this sub-section saying they want to be an NFL player. I'm seriously starting to think nobody sat you guys down and explained how the process of football and recruiting works..

    This.

    I agree that a lot of these high school kids are clueless about how football really works, how college ball works, how the nfl works and the whole process of getting recruited and noticed.

    Oh and cam newton didn't exactly make it to the nfl through junior college. Probably need a better example than that. Cam newton was a 4 star, top 15 qb in the nation coming out of high school and then signed with florida. Spent two years there and then got kicked off the team, spent 1 year at a jc, won a national title, then spent 1 year at auburn and won a national title.

    I know how this thing work. You want a better example look up Ethan Kilmer. I know its HARD to do but it ISN'T impossible.i know that statistics are against me but I'm willing to buss my ass to do this. Blood sweat and tears. Its what i want. I just need help getting on the right track and i'll take it from there. My goal isn't overoptimistic..it is realistic. I know i dont have any experience so i'll be playing catch up.But with HARD WORK,and perseverance it can be achieved. Its not like i'm sitting here not working out and saying "oh i'm gonna go play football at a CC "

    And if i don't make it then F*** it at least i tried. I'll be at a community college so if i don't get a football scholarship then regardless i'll transfer after to 2 years and pursue a degree in psychology. Its better to live life in rejection rather than regret.

    Yeah your right. I really only used Newton because the OP did himself in his other post as an example.

    @ Chevelle

    What makes you think you would be living your life in regret by NOT doing that? Even if you add up the amount of people on each team from all 150 D1 schools that still isn't that many people. I'd say a couple thousand.

    As someone who is also currently going to school for psychology I think that's a great degree to get. Do what you've got to do man. I think if you REALLY want to do something you can do it. But I felt like I just had to hit you with the reality hammer before you went off on some workout tangent got to like a 4.4 40 yd dash and gained 30 lbs and then got told no. That would feel worse to me, than "saying my time has passed", but that's just me. Regret and realism are on two different spectrums. I know I will probably never be a College QB. But I also know College QB's are to busy practicing football to do something or the things I'm privileged to be able to do with my time. etc etc It's all in how you look at it..

    your routine right now is pathetic, do a 3 day full body split for right now as you obviously have no experience in training. squat, deadlift, bench, row, military press. 5x5

    So your expecting to NOT play football in HS, play for a JUCO for two years and somehow become good enough to START at a D-1 FBS school and THEN MAKE IT TO THE NFL? Ill be the first to tell you keep trying and reaching. But I've played football for 8 years a busted my ass on a gridiron 365 days a year for 8 years and am STILL not in the door. I have had ex nfl holders tell me that my talent is on que with the current snappers in the NFL right now. But the business doesn't cater to those knocking that often, only to those that they have invited in annually. I am not saying it is IMPOSSIBLE but with the profile your trying to build you need to invest (money) in a personal coach I you want to make this a possibility. I know I sound rude and ignorant and every other word in the book but it is what it is... Odds of an athlete maki it into the NFL starting in HS is like 1-1,000,000... Which puts you behind the ball.
