im 5'4 230 lbs im a offensive lineman and i doubt ill grow. i was starting right guard during my jv year, same year i got pulled up to varsity and i didnt get to play because of grades. im good at football, i just dont think ill get anywhere because of my height. people automatically assume im not good, or i cant work well against bigger people, any dumb excuse. and every time there was an doibt i showed them i could. im very fast for my size and i would say i have an average strength not super strong but not super weak, im smart and coachable, and ive faced guys way bigger athan me all my life, atleast 6'0 and up and i rarely had problems with them, any d lineman my height has never been a problem at all.
I was wondering if any other undersized athletes could tell me their stories to make me feel less alone. because all of these posts and videos of other people talking about being undersized they were all about 5'8-6'1. no where near my situation. ive played football since i was 6 and i love it more than anything, i had to work harder than everybody for my starting spot and now i just feel like im losing it, im getting put as a nose guard not that i have a problem with it, i just see it as my downfall. i doubt im gonna grow so if youre near my height at any sport any gender i ask that you share some advice or your story
