3 Ways for High School Athletes to Improve in the Off-Season

The off-season is the most important period for any football player. This is where players see the most growth physically and mentally. With High School Football coming to an end, it is important for athletes to understand how to approach their off-season in order to improve. Here is a list of things you can do to maximize your off-season:

• Identify your Weaknesses

First thing you have to do coming off a season is identify what you need to get better at. Watch film, talk to coaches, or even ask teammates to help identify what areas you need to improve on. Figuring that out will help you plan your off-season training.

• Speed Training & Lifting

Every off-season you should look to improve your speed. This can be accomplished by improving your running mechanics and leg strength. If you are old enough then it is imperative that you get inside a gym and improve your weight room numbers. Movements such as squats, bench press, and power cleans are all important lifting exercises for football players to focus on. 

• Position Training/ Leagues/ Camps

It is important for players to do position specific training to help work on their weaknesses. This training will translate the most on the field in the Fall. Players also need to find competition to test their skills. Competing in 9v9 and 7v7 leagues is a great option for football players. Attending camps is also a great way to test and improve your skills.
