My shoes fit, but they're a little tight around the toes. Should I move up a size?
You’ve got a lot of good responses here, but I just wanted to add another small point.I briefly worked in the shoe section of a department store…Generally you’ll find that a half size actually affects the width and not really the length. So best idea is to try a few different sizes and see which one feels best. You may well find that a little extra width makes the difference you need.If you get a shoe that is slightly too big, just pop in an inner-sole, it should help a little. And you could get a heel-grip which sticks onto the inside of the heel and stops the shoe from slipping up and down.There’s no point in worrying too much about what size you’re wearing, as long as it is comfortable. I’m a size 10 too but in some shoes I wear an 11. Just use the size you know as a basic guide to help you find the right fit/size in the particular shoe you are trying.Hope that helps you :)(By the way, if the shoe is touching your toenail and causing a bit of pressure, you need to try a bigger size, or that can become really painful. Most shoe fitters will try to get about a thumb’s width of space in front of the toe).
My football coach hates me for no Reason?
I have Been Going to practice since spring and I had to miss a couple of Days Of weight training Due to the fact that I got an infection in my foot. Now its time to Tryout and whatnot and now HE HATES ME FOR NO REASON. I do all the Drill correctly and even do more than i'm suppose to do to try and impress him and all he dose is glare at me so since cuts are tomorrow i'm pretty sure i'm first on his list sadly. But I have no idea what i did Wrong and all of the other coach's seem impressed and always are complementing my work saying i'm doing great and are always saying "Great Hustle" But my linebacker coach just Glares and now he starting to even put me last every time we do warm ups and drills. I even help bring out the dummy's from the locker room!! Every Day!!! I don't understand what happened but i'm pretty pissed of about it and all i want to do is play ball. Theirs also this new kid that came and all of his muscles sag horribly and all my coach does is work with him and only use him during drills and stuff. I have also been to every training day except those couple of weeks I had that foot infection. and the new kid has only been here for a day and never listens to instructions he just chews on his mouth guard. I just don't understand what happened guys and I would like some opinions on what I should do about this problem. Its like i'm invisible to him. also here is my height and weight Height: 5'10 Weight: 158 40 yard dash time; 5.0 seconds Really guys I need help I will provide you guys with other information if needed.
What is a good 40 time for a sophomore lineman?
Right now, that's not to bad...it really depends on if you want to be on the Dline or the Oline. I am a Dline coach in HS and require all of my Dlinemen to be under 5.75. I know the Oline coach is only interested in making sure his guys are under 6.5. This is because on the defensive side of the ball you must always chase the ball. From an offensive lineman standpoint if your RB gets passed you and into the secondary, there is little to no chance that you are going to catch up and be able to block for him, thus no chase. Even on offensive plays that require the O linement to pull and block, they are quick hit blocks and the design of the play is to give those linemen a good long headstart before the ball carrier starts running up their back. I had a Defensive end that ran the 40 in 5.3 and he was dominant he played through college and I think he would have went pro but he had tore his ACL and PCL in a game and was never able to recover from that. By the time he was a senior in college he had a 40 time of 5.1 which was a bit slow for the NFL, but he was a bull. I think you are probably in line with what I would expect from my Dline, maybe quicken it up a little bit. For me it is not all about speed. I don't care if I have a guy that can run the 40 in 4.4...if he can only do it once ever 10 minutes. What am I getting at? Work on conditioning. Way too many players condition the wrong way. Running long distance is not going to help your football conditioning. Condition the way the game is played. So 25-30 second top speed sprinting with 20-25 second recovery times. Most plays are significantly less that 25 seconds, but the extra time helps compensate for pads and cleats, and to help simulate the strain of blocking or fighting through blocks.
