I am currently 16 years old 6'0, 193lbs. My coach was talking to me about a possible football scholarship, and he says I have a chance to get one for long snapping. He says all I have to do is gain about 25-35lbs before my seniot year in High School, and I have a chance to get a football scholarship. On the other hand, I have swimming. I am currently about 2 seconds away from making state championships, and I would probably lose about 30lbs before november in order to get there. I also have a chance to get a swimming scholarship too. I know that I should probably pick one or the other because I know it isn't exactly healthy to go from 225lbs to 160lbs in a couple of months. So was hoping that maybe some people on this board have some experience with this topic and could give me some advice.
