Hi James,
I too have a passion for football and at one time in my life hoped to go on to play college and possibly professional football. I am going to be 100% honest with you it is not easy. It will take a lot of hard work and a lot of long days/nights. Training is an integral part of being successful, you have to put in countless hours of lifting, cardio, and drills to become the best version of yourself. The first step in the process is getting into a good college football program. Although it isn't required going to a good college football program will help you a great deal.You have to go to camps to get seen by college coaches and create highlight tapes to market yourself. While in college you have to continue a strong work ethic to better yourself, then when given the opportunity to try out for an NFL team you have to leave it all out on the field. I hope this helped and good luck on your journey,

Hi James,
That is so great that you love football. I went to Penn State, so I love football too. In high school your goal should be to play on the varsity football team and get colleges to look at you to play at their school. Once you get into a college football program you have to work really hard to get noticed. I suggest going to a larger school, well-known school to play. Otherwise, anyone can try out for the NFL draft. Just try to be the best you can be at your position.
Good luck!
