Hip Flexors

[GsR]

You are playing HB and LB...arent you gonna be tired playing both sides of the ball? sorry off topic, but was curious

Power cleans, squats, deadlifts...

You are also going to need to do wind sprints and bounds. (Bounds - that's what we called it in track...where you pretty much jump off one foot as high as you can back to back...like skipping, but doing it as high as you can...works great for your vert). Doing the two of those will help with your off the line quickness too.

Strong hip flexors are good, but loose ones will help your game. Be sure to stretch these...hit those leg lifts.

Aren't you lifting with the team?

i probably will be but its not as serious as high school or anything im 13 and i practise 3 times a week 1 game a week, but i played both ways last year, just i was fb instead of hb but still i need to improve strength and quickness, so i was just wondering.
