Last I heard, above two-hundred pounds, and probably taller than 6'.

Well, back at the doctors they measured me at 5'5, but I'm taller than my mom who's something like 5'6 or 5'7, but the doctors said I'm going to hit a huge growth spurt, and they say I might be above 6 or 7 feet tall.

I might as well mention I have asthma, but I take 2 puffs of xopenex(Sort of a inhaler) which opens my airways and stuff, so for most if no all of the practice my chest doesn't start hurting because of no air. But I'm not exactly high school age-I'm 13, and I turned 13 in June. But I'm friends with the, what is it, QB? The guy that throws/kicks the ball, and we joke around a lot in History.

EDIT:Forgot to mention, American Football.

QB throws the ball, K kicks field goals and kickoffs, and P punts the ball if the offense doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

Have they actually lined you up on the field yet, or have you just been doing conditioning?

Uhhhh...yeah, if you're going to play offensive line, you really need to know which one is the quarterback. Cause half your job is to keep him from ending up a fine red smear on the ground.

This is true. Another thing to keep an eye on is whether or not he's a special teamer. If, say, he plays on the XP line or on the FG unit, he's going to need a somewhat different skillset. The key on those teams is to get your arms above the defender's center of gravity, to keep them from jumping to block a low kick, as opposed to controlling where they go in a horizontal manner.

He's actually the K, now that you've explained it.

Today was pretty good, I've noticed a small improvement in that I don't feel like dropping at the end of practice and I still have energy to get on the computer and stuff. It's a good sport and hobby at the very least, it's something to entertain me other than just sitting around playing computer games all day, and hell, I've found I've been more sociable as of late because of it.

I play HS football, and having a great time. I'm a defensive tackle, usually weak side.

Regular practice isn't that bad, but 4 weeks of 2-a-days was. Practice, break, practice and running at the end. I notice an improvement each practice subsuquently.

[MaximumZero]

Football is good. It's too bad I never made it very far, as I really enjoy the sport.

[x2yzh9]

We did 3 full gassers today. Now I know why they say to keep hydrated.

A gasser is when you run towards the other side of the field and back, touching the lines on both sides. That's one. Now it doesn't seem much, but when you're expected to go as fast as everyone else and at least above 4 miles an hour, everyone gets to running fast and it's hard as hell to keep up. I fucked up, though. Because I didn't keep hydrated by actively drinking out of my water bottle throughout the day, my spleen[Or lower-right abdomen) started hurting and my mouth went dry as a fuck. And I'm not joking, my tongue went dry, everything, man.

[Jackrabbit]

It's not bad when you do it in Hockey. But Football fields are big, man. I feel for you.

[x2yzh9]

I mean width-wise, not the whole length of the field, jesus christ no.

[Jackrabbit]

Oh. Well, that's not so bad. Perhaps I've just done it enough times that I don't notice.

[MaximumZero]

High school field is roughly 45-50 yds/m wide, so yeah, it's not fun.

[x2yzh9]

I'd say ours is slightly shy of that, but yeah, not fun. I have practice from 10-12 on Saturday though, first day with pads.

We better not run fucking gassers that day. Though I'm probably jinxing it.

[MaximumZero]

Once you've run gassers for the first time in practice, you'll run them every practice. Sorry, dude. :/ Think of it this way, though: Stamina.

Did they ever line you up on the field yet?

[Jackrabbit]

We call them suicide runs.

We live in Australia. It just seems appropriate.

[nuker w]

We call them shuttles. And when you play field hockey as a keeper, you just 'happen' to get out of doing them. Hah hah.

We are Broodax. We are wondering why we are all speaking in the first person plural.
