Hmm...I've been playing 2 seasons but hardly got any time in my first...and I'm going off to senior next year with guys much bigger and stronger than me so that's also gonna cause problems, I did a test for Sports Anxiety and out of a stress level of 30, I got 29...and Senior football's probably just going to make it worse. I'd love to try your advice but football season's over Also, for the whole season, my coach didn't teach me the Cornerback stance, and I ended up playing with a receiver stance the whole season, yesterday I tried out the CB stance on some friends who are a lot faster while playing pickup football and it helped me a lot keeping up with them.
