[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 294031"] If you really do want to add a bit of muscle, or just get a bit stronger, please don't start doing any weights. At your age, it'll just stunt your growth, as the energy usually used to grow taller, will be used to grow muscles. You can always grow muscles later on in life, you can never regain the height you'd loose. I'd suggest just doing some press-up's, pull-up's and sit-up's. Basically, just excercises using your own body weight as resistance. But as others have said above, your confidence will grow the more times you get tackled/make a tackle and realise that it doesn't hurt as much as you emagined. I was the same as you when I first started out. Everyone was much bigger and had been playing for years. 10 stone and 5'10" isn't small at 14 years old, I was nowhere neer that at your age, more like 5'5" and 7st. [/QUOTE]
