overtraining?

[MuscleScience]

I am on a division 1 football team i am devoting my life to anything and everything possible to make it to the NFL. I am a slot receiver so i would rather speed than strength but i am pretty small for a D1 player (5'10 170) my speed is really all i have right now so I'm looking deeper into strength training now more than ever. I want to sprint as well as lift because i think i will make more progress and be faster than i would if i waited till later to start sprinting. So what exactly do you think i should be doing?

Do you have access to a strength coach at school?

There's a bit of a disconnect here. If you're D-1, then why isn't this all done through them - and if this is your life goal, hire a qualified trainer to get you to that level. You should have a training plan arranged from today until you show up for the combines ; it should be that detailed and extensive.

You can build size and still maintain speed, but your workouts are primarily going to be snatches, cleans, deads, squats, presses and then mixing in a little additional work with arms.

Sure you can still run/sprint, but now you are looking at how much that will take away from the recovery of your heavy lifts, in periodization there is a time & a place for everything.

Why was it that you're missing this season, if you don't mind, that is. Was it an injury, if so, what is it?

I transferred to a D-1 college and found out after camp that i wasn't eligible to play due to credits, so i asked the coach if i can take off and start training intensely and focus on getting my grades up instead of going to practice, workouts, and meetings etc. so i am not allowed to have access to anything on the football team because technically I'm not on the team right now. Trainers are very expensive but i will most likely hire one. If i don't have a trainer and i definitely do want to start speed training as well as lifting do you think this schedule is best suited for what i want as well as good enough recovery time?

i can't seem to edit that last post but i was going to add: I want to do the most i can possibly do and push my body to its limit if theres any more that you think i can add to that schedule please let me know.
