Do some basic strength work and factor in some high intensity conditioning. Improving flexability is always a plus for any sport as well.

your question doesn't sound stupid.

THe only advice I can offer is that at your age and for what you are looking for (specific sports performance)....try and find a strength coach in your area to work with. Someone to assess where you are at and someone that can write a full program to help you develop over an extended period of time.

Indeed. However, in the meantime you can certainly do a basic well-rounded strength training program using the guidelines laid out in our stickies.
