Don't fuck up next time, don't give up next time, win next time. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Don't be a pussy, work harder and just fucking win.

I guess that might have also been a problem. I do know many of them used creatine, which I only found out the year after leaving the team

Thank you anon, I'm glad you guys can give the motivation that helps. I used to think be aueof my mistakes I wasn't worthy to get big gains and that even if I did, people will like muscles gotten from football only better. I realized I'm over thinking it and that even if I do get them back on my own, I still had muscles earned from football sophomore year of high school at one point

I did play in a few games, but I left the year after. I imagine you've been playing a ll your life from at least 9 years old until college which is pretty cool. In fact I envy you'd experience since my complicated parents didn't put me in the sport until much later, where as I wanted to start earlier to get better

You sound like a huge pussy.
Once you get over yourself you'll see that you can make tons of gains at 19.
Don't be one of those 260lb+ guys that can't even bench their own bodyweight.

Train a balanced body before you get injured doing something recreationally. I regret not starting earlier

Nope, joined at 14 like you but stuck with it
There were guys younger than me who were better, and our team had a lot of really bad hazing. Unlike you though I didn't give up because people who obviously worked harder and longer were better than me. I just took the time to figure out what I needed to do and then did it. Was awarded "most improved player" and "outstanding defensive lineman" (I played D-End) two years in a row.


Your teammates didn't get their immense size through football, they got it through working out. Sports don't make you big, strong, or fast, training does. Sports are just the application of training.

You're only 19 for fuck's sake, quit being such a bitch.

you're right, also congrats on your hard work, it's good to see people that started a little later than others proving themselves. I played defensive tackle. you're right, I shouldn't be so worried about this. also I should've phrased my posts differently, that thru instead got muscles from football training

You're 19.

Wait until you're 28 to post this regret thread. Or do what you have to do to not be in a position at 28 where you even have these thoughts.

Everyone's path is different, and you torture yourself by comparisons. Focus on the task at hand. Focus on yourself. Get the job done. And in a decade you wont even remember why you felt this way.

Do not let this snowball. You have to get ahead of this as soon as possible before this line of thought consumes you. You cant allow your feelings of inadequacy become actual manifestations of inadequacy.

>how do I get over feelings of inadequacy to make gains and get big again?
by realizing you were a soft bitch and never an athlete and by watching better anime

>I was required to do the workouts
>because of that feeling of inadequacy, I stopped going
>asked my former coach junior year if there was potentially a chance for me to come back
>former high school football player
no you werent

>>42705738
Stop watching anime.
