I play wing back. I think Im alright, but my builld is letting me down. im almost 5ft11 and bearly 10 stone. I have very good cardio and can run all day, but my speed and strength is bad. I often get pushed off the ball and my tackles have no impact as there is no power behind them. Obviously I need to improve this but im not sure how to go about it. I was thinking of starting a weight training program but I want to make sure i do it right and not waste my time. Is it possible for me to keep some of my fitness and still gain weight? Also, how do I maintain the muscle mass I will gain when training starts again? Thanks im 17 years old and my football is more or less over for the year. I play wing back.
