Should a First-Time Athlete Join High School Football?

Question
I'm 15 years old and I have never played any sport. I am entering the 11th grade and will be playing for my school.  I am very good with my hands and have decided to play as a wide receiver. I'm not sure if i should play this year because all my team mates have more experience than me, and i don't want to be like the new guy who doesn't do anything right.  What should I do?  Please help me.

Answer
At some point everyone is the new guy.....So I would say go for it.  Michael Jordan never player basketball until his junior year because he was too small.....Two years later he received a full scholarship at North Carolina.

Set your goals high but reachable......You may not start, but you can be on the team......If you decide to sit & watch from the stands, then you are not even on the team......Everyone can not play first string.

Be brave, set your sights high, then achieve them...one at a time.

Good luck.....Andy
