RE: football
Listen to your position coach, work hard in the weight room and with developing your speed and quickness, don't take plays off, play from the snap to the echo of the whistle, work on your "take offs" (take off on movement, not sound), keep your pad level low, know where you need to align and what's your assignment, never get knocked back. These may help and on paper may look good, but since football is not played on paper, being a good defensive tackle takes years of hard work. But the payoff is worth the effort!

Playing DT is all about shooting your hands and getting them inside the guys hands blocking you and getting extension with leverage. If you can do that, you own him..lift weights!

Get strong hands,work on your quickness,work hard in the weight room,go to all the camps that have pro players working with the kids,all ways go against the best offense lineman everyday instead of going one on one when training atart go against two offense linemen against you,we use to call it in the day the bull pen,if you can afford it get a personal trainer like most of the kids are during now to work with you and don't ever take a play off if it not coming to your side go all out on every play and get some tapes of the best defense lineman you can find and study their moves,and you got to be mean when you put that uniform on.
