Answer
Dear Daniel:
Getting fat is not the answer. What you need to do is gain muscle not fat. What you need to do is talk to your coach at the high school you are going to play football at. He is in a better position to help you than I am. He can test you as quarterback and then tell you what he wants you to work on. And how he wants you to do it.
