Full Contact Semi Pro Football?

[Joel 126]

Well, I am thinking about going semi pro football this coming 2012 season. My doctor told me I would be 100% ok to do this. What are your thoughts? Safe?

Howdy I played Pro womens football about 9 months post op, Never had one problem. Played oline would take hits in my stomach, never had any issues..

Awesome, ya, most people i have spoken with tell me the same. I plan on wearing a Kevlar rib protector just to help aid in the hits as well.

I play o-line as well, great to hear you haven't had any problems! My surgeon said he had never had a football player before so he didn't know but thought I'd be ok. How soon did the season start after you had your surgery? I just had mine last week and we start back practice in jan. but prob wont be hitting until march/april.

Comfortably do Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and MMA fighting without any problems (or padding ect) - football would be fine.

I took the season off cause I had my band placed middle season My doc told me 6 months.. but i think i would have been ok like 2 month post op.. I wont Practice if i was you.. Gym and football are two different things.. Be careful
