football season ended a month ago, and I've been doing regular offseason training. I'm wondering if I should gain some weight during the offseason. I'm moving up to bantom (13 and 14 year olds, Im only thirteen) next season, and the kids there are ginormous. I'm only 5-5 or 5-6 and 120 pounds, but I won the MVP award, but that was this year, when I was just as old as anyone else, but I was still small. I play running back and middle linebacker, and I keep thinking that if I gain too much weight (aside from the weight that comes from naturally growing) it will be a sacrifice to speed and I won't be as good of a running back, however, I'm still wondering if I should gain weight or not? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
