Yeah, eat a ton of No-Doze and Ripped Fuel before every game, don't throw interceptions dude, tuck it and run, don't show up any teammates or coaches if they make mistakes, and call out your cadences like you mean'em! Good luck.

Watch Kyle Boller game-tape and pinch yourself.

Ya know, the brain will link pain to mistakes. Also, hire a sports psychiatrist.

You have to learn to develop a thick skin, and FAST. Learn to accept criticism; DO NOT, by any circumstance whatsoever, let anything get to you. AT ALL.

You won't like hearing coaches (and even parents and teammates) talk down to you, but just shut your mouth, process what you're being told, and make adjustments from there.

Even if you don't struggle your first year, you still shouldn't be so hard on yourself when you DO struggle. Just do your job and protect the football, first and foremost. Don't try to be the hero until the pressure's on and you need to make a play -- you'll instinctively know when that is.

As a freshman, you'll have plenty of opportunities in your high school career to be the hero -- for right now, fundamentals are the most important thing you can work on.

The rest of the game is mental. Learn to block out the crowd. Additionally, you never want to be too cocky, but you also want to be confident in your own abilities, even when you're down by four touchdowns and there's only three minutes left to play.

Your job is to lead, and the best way to do that is lead by example.

I was a quarterback for 3 plays (I'm usually a defensive end). I threw one interception, fumbled once, Missed on a FB screen pass by about seven yards, and accidentally stepped on our star running backs foot and he need stitches. Luckily for me I had 6 sacks that game and blocked a punt. I may not have been alive to tell the tale otherwise.

QB and kicker are the only positions where you have to show some skill.

Coaches look for potential in freshmans.

Some slow white guy might get the carries in freshman ball but he will probably switch positions or rarely play once he moves up.
