How To Become a Better Running Back in Football.
Hi guys, making another article, this time a (American) football guide. Football is a popular sport, and many young players wish to become a player that others will envy (or fear). Become a scary running back by following these instructions:
First step: Become a faster and more powerful running back:
Always start sprints with short, choppy, and powerful strides. Focus your energy on exploding into acceleration. Work out in the gym (did I have to say that?)
second tip: Follow through on the plays. Remember to learn to trust your linemen and to expect the hole that they will undoubtedly provide. This does not mean to run into the defense just because that is what the play is meant to do. Have flexibility, if you see an opportunity to get some extra yards by going a different route, go for it, just be careful because that is not what your teammates would expect. So far the topics covered are to become a faster and more powerful running back, and to follow through on the plays.
tip #3: Eat lots of carbs. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy that your body uses. But you guys probably knew this. Become powerful, follow through, and eat carbs to become a better athlete.

How To Increase your Vertical!
This guide is going to teach you how to increase your vertical jump in the least amount of time. If you follow these strategies, you can't go wrong!
1) Running. Short sprints have been shown increase jump height. Just keep the sprints shorter than 30 yards. Vice versa: Increasing your vertical jump also improves your running speed!
2) Squats. Increase your leg strength with this powerful exercise. Just make sure you do it right (knees should be directly vertical from your feet, do not bend your knees forward. All of the power should come from the hips)
3) Calf raises. Stand on a step with heels of the foot hanging off the edge a couple inches. Extend your calves to raise to tip-toes. This strengthens the calf muscle which is an important aspect of being able to jump high.
4) Plyometrics. Jump onto a box that is elevated as much from the ground until you can barely jump onto it 15 times. Jump on this 15 times, plyometrics is probably the best method to increase your jumping. Just make sure you stay safe.
That's it! Stay safe and have fun!
