I am about to end my freshman year at a high-ranked division 1 college. All through high school I wanted to play sports but thought I wasn't good enough. I really regret that now, and don't want to let this pass me by again. I would really love to play football or basketball, but again, having not played in high school puts me at basically the bottom of the pile. The problem is that I'm 5'8 and weigh only 160 pounds. I have recently starting lifting weights in hope to get bigger. My dad is really tall but my mom is really short, so maybe I'll keep growing taller. I am pretty athletic and pretty fast. I pick up on new things very quickly.I am pretty good at sports in general. If I worked hard enough all summer and all next year, could I be able to make a sports team by my junior or senior year? I would love to play basketball, but I'm way short. And I see kids at our gym that are way better than me and they are not on the team, so how could I be? Would they even have tryouts or would you have to be recruited after being a high-school star? I just get discouraged thinking about this, but It's my dream and I have trouble letting it die. Any advice would be appreciated.
