    My parents won't let me quit basketball because I told them I wasn't able to deal with the pressure the coach put me in. I am just not enjoying the sport anymore. I really don't know how to convince them that it's not for me anymore. My dad is also involved in my sport and told me that I could not quit because he is involved. I use to love basketball, but now I have pressure from everyone around me and I get hurt every time my parents wave away my opinion on the issue.

    I've been playing basketball since first grade and I'm a sophomore now. High school basketball just isn't what I thought it was gonna be. I'm always nervous and freak out before every game and practice. It's not fun anymore and there are other things I want to do. Every since I picked up guitar I've realized that that's my true passion and that I'm done being someone I'm not for my parents. My mom completely understands and supports me but my dad is a huge sports fan and won't accept me quitting. Is there anything I can say or do to make him more understanding? I'm tired of being a disappointment. UPDATE: Almost 2 years later and I just wanted to say that I did it. About a year ago I quit sports and I can finally be myself and do what makes me happy. I hope this encourages someone else to stand up for their happiness :)

      Yea I know how you feel the coaches act like its the major leagues. They are so worried about the stats and getting the damn trophy that they act like we’re paid athletes. Like my sport is baseball and I just wanna play the game and have fun with it. They act like we all want to get scholarships to some college and make the sport become our career.

      I want to quit hockey too but I’ve played it for 8 years and my dad says that i should play it until im 18 cause right now im going trough puberty so i shouldn’t quit is what he says but i just cant stand it anymore. I’ve started to hate everything about it, its like i want to play hockey for fun sometimes but i can’t cause every other teenager who plays hockey is trying to get to some league and make a career out of it.
      But thats not what i want to do for the rest of my life but my dad just doesn’t understand.
      He also has threatened to take away my computer and phone if i don’t start playing hockey again.
      Can someone tell me what i should tell him to make him understand me?

And now since I’ve been in it for too long all my parents think is SCHOLARSHIP, SCHOLARSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS. It’s not like don’t care about me, it’s just the fact that they don’t care about what makes me happy.

    I’m 10 years old. My dad makes me train everyday, making me join new teams. I’m in about 4 teams now, and I just don’t like basketball anymore. Basketball has broken my family a bit, my dad is always overreacting even if I miss one shot. I’m being controlled so if I quit basketball, I’d be a mistake. I would ask my parents, but I’m just too scared. What do I do? Tell them or show this video to them. I just want to have a normal life and focus on my studies.
    GOOD NEWS!
    my dad is letting me start on focusing on volleyball, he promised me if I am bored with my current sport, I can play volleyball!

    I've been playing sports until I was in 3rd grade. I've always felt a love for it but the older I got, the more I realized how much pressure it's gotten. To me sports have gotten to be a feeling I dont have anymore. The more I think about basketball the more I cry and get anxiety. It's the whole thought of being perfect and living to my family's standards. They want the best for me and that being college, but I know for sure they dont want me to quit after putting so much time and effort into me. I feel like such a failure.

    I was good at sport at school but loathed sport with a passion. I was pushed into being on teams so pushed back the best way I could...I never gave more than 70%. This used to frustrate the hell out of my coaches especially when scouts where watching when I made a point of performing particularly badly. I only ever wanted to be a lawyer which is what I became.

    This isn’t the typical post, but I quit soccer when I was 13. I was on the top team in the state and even had college coaches talking to me AT 13! When I joined the top team, it killed my love of the game. My teammates spited me and would even target me in practice because of jealousy. I focused more on soccer than school too. Had no friends. It became so much, that I quit. It’s now 8 years later, and I’ve never regretted my decision more. It haunts me. I found the love for the game again, and I realize the mistake I made. Who knows where I would be in life if I continued playing. Just make sure, that when and if you quit. You are sure of the decision you are making.

    I don’t have necessarily pressure from my parents/family members for me to stay in wrestling but my dad and uncle were both state champs in wrestling and when I told them I wanted to do it they were just so proud... and my mom was very proud because it’s a very hard sport and I’d been working harder then I have in my entire life plus it makes me careful about my hygiene which impressed her even more. I know it would disappoint them immensely for me to quit wrestling because other than that, I don’t think I could play another sport. I have been playing baseball since I was a kid but lots of kids are trying out for the team in high school (I’m a freshman) and I’m not 100 percent sure I’ll make it.. I get a’s and b’s in school but my sister is getting straight a’s with ap classes and my family before me are all very successful so I know I would disappoint everyone because they are so excited to see me wrestle. But I just flat out don’t like it. I have practice 5 days a week and tournaments soon on saturdays... they’re three hour practices and I’m usually very tired out when I get home because we have conditioning with wrestling all in the same practice and that usually affects the amount of hw I do a night. Also I am not progressing like the rest of the team and it’s beginning to frustrate me and my teammates and they often get mad at me when I don’t do things the right way/mess up. So I feel like I’m putting in all this work for nothing and it usually leaves me sad/disappointed after practices... lately I’ve been trying to get out of practice as much as I can which has only slowed my development in the sport down... and also I don’t enjoy the competitiveness of the sport. I’d continue if I liked it despite how much hard work it is but I just don’t enjoy it.. throughout the school day I’m always anxious about going to practice that day and it affects my focus in school and overall makes me unhappy. I want to tell my mom all of this but I don’t know how and I’m afraid of how she’ll react. What should I do?

    I want to quit, because I have lost my passion for it, I get extreme anxiety and fear in tournaments, games, even training and get more negative things than good things from it.

    I’m 13 and I’ve been playing basketball since kindergarten. at one point I was playing three teams and it was tiring. i just don’t find it fun anymore and it seems more like a chore. my mom understands but my dad is telling me I’m gonna turn out like those girls he always told me about”quitters” I have mental issues and because of corona I’ve been off for almost 5 months now. I get mad everytime he asks me to practice and that should show him that I obviously don’t like it anymore. but he’s also my coach and my cousin and I grew up together playing, she’s working her ass off and I’m here doing nothing. he compares me to my cousin and my friends that play basketball and he barely speaks two words to me a day. unless it’s about the sport or somethin I did wrong. I don’t know what to do. It’s hard for me to say anything to my dad that will make him upset because I care about his feelings more than I do myself. it’s obviously not healthy. what can I do.

      I hope you quit . But just tell your coach. This doesnt fit your puzzle. That it was fun doing it but one can lose interest. And you dont wanna do it anymore. Stop beating around the bush and the better your outcome will be.

    When I made varsity as a freshman for baseball, I was put in such a big role as the ace pitcher and I wasn’t in joying they game anymore due to the pressure and I was putting in 4x the amount of work compared to everyone else and I talked to my mom about it and she told me that I can’t get a car if I quit

      Parents try and live through their kids so much these days. It is your sport so it’s your decision. Personally I would rather focus on good grades and the things that make me happy then a sport that i have been playing for 7 years. Baseball has been my number one sport for my whole life and pitching was my strongpoint. Until i was injured and switched to a new team. Even if you are good at the sport just think, do you want to do it on repeat for your entire career. In the MLB your playing constantly, yes your making money, but is it worth your happiness? Your mom shouldn’t be risking the chance of you getting a car for a sport you don’t have a passion for anymore.

    I struggle with anxiety from gymnastics and it stresses me out. I freak out before every practice, I get worried, and it stays in my head every day and every time I wake up. I do not find joy in the sport anymore because of what it’s done. I play floor hockey and I love that. It’s just so frustrating, because I feel like I will regret it. But I know it will be for the better. I also often find myself over working my self trying to do stuff, I constantly hurt myself on accident doing stuff in the sport. And It’s just not my passion anymore. I think i’m going to quit tonight, but that’s not it I still have hockey and I will always be apart of hockey, along with work outs and I was thinking about trying boxing.

    I was in taekwondoe from 8 to 13 and I DIDN'T want to quit. My mom made me. I loved it, from my friends there to just nostalgia. The only thing bad was the master. He didnt understand my anxiety when it came to sparring, and my asthma. My mom didnt want to pay for it anymore, too. It sounds weird, but, I feel connected to that place. The smell, the sights, my childhood is there. It saddens me that I will never be there again. Never spar again. My friends that grew up with me, they dont understand why I had to leave. I miss it so much. My mom was talking about maybe joining a different dojo, but that not the same. She was never in any sports. She was in piano when she was my age. What do I do? I want to rejoin tae kwon doe, but I dont want my mom to spend money on it if Im already a black belt.

    Every sports person needs to develop on the their own, before on the pitch. It happend to me, I remember two years ago my dad would tell the coaches to put me in a group that two years older than me (13) and you couldn't tell the difference on the pitch. But it destroyed me emotionally because of the pressure that was put on me. I am 15 now and I am so close to getting to quit. That big stress relief is nearly gone.

My mother is probably going to be mad, especially since the year is almost over and I was almost done.

I am also tired of the injuries and with the fact that they don't care if i am hurt or not. I still like the sport but I am too stressed to do it and I am also bored of doing it. I recently started downhill riding and i am really enjoying and my father sees that and he immediately wanted to clarify that downhill wouls just be a hobby and taekwondo was the serious deal. Taekwondo also pushes me away from my social life and friends since I always have to be out of town to train and I am really envious of other teens my age who can go out every Saturday and have fun while i am either training or too tired to do anything.

Besides that, even the coach of the Senior Adult Team wants him train and play for him, after he saw my sons Potential.

    I’ve been playing baseball for 8+ years and I’m sick and tired of it. My parents cuss and swear at me whenever I ask if I can quit or they simply ignore me. My anxiety is so extreme that I often think and plan out how I will fake an injury or injure myself to stop playing for a couple days.

    I do wrestling and I like wrestling but I started to get tired of it and I hate going to practice. I get anxiety about going to practice. Mostly because it’s such a hard sport and they push you really hard. My mom would be fine with it but my dad would get mad because he really wants me to do a sport and wrestling is the only school sport I’m really good at.

    No matter what chose to do sports wise, my .Dad always supported me, even if there was an activity that was becoming not fun anymore due to rude instructors and things. My Dad has said and always will believe that all sports should be fun and enjoyable and it’s the teens decision on what they want to do.

I don’t know what my parents are going to say or react because I have been swimming for 7 1/2 years. I love swimming but I don’t like how the pool is cold. I always hide in the bathroom for 15 minutes each practice.

    I’ve been doing horse back riding for a few months but I want to quit. The person who teaches me to ride is super sweet and doesn’t put much pressure on me but the lady who actually owns the barn and the horse I ride can be very mean and make me really anxious. Like if I do something wrong that she never even told me not to do before she’ll get really mad. I also don’t see much progress in my riding so that makes me really discouraged also one of the other girls can be a real bitch just cause she knows she’s better at it then me. So with all that I just don’t enjoy it anymore it feels like school, something I have to do but really don’t wanna do. So I’ve been planning to quit for a few weeks now I wasn’t to worried about telling my mom because she already caught on that I was no longer enjoying it also the only extra thing we bought for it was some nice boots. But this Christmas I got a really nice helmet for it. So I think my mom will be mad now when I tell her I don’t wanna do it anymore. Tomorrow’s have it again and then I’m going to decide if it’s at all enjoyable and if it is I’ll continue if not I’ll tell my mom. Wish me luck!!

    My dad won’t let me quit basketball because he is the coach of the team and he thinks that if I go outside and practice I’ll like it more but the truth is that they are basically FORCING me to go to play a sport I don’t want to. We can’t pay for college unless I get a scholarship for sports but I want to try swimming and see if I enjoy it more instead of basketball!

    I'm 13 and I've been playing rugby league since i was 8. I wanna quit but I don't wanna disappoint my parents.
    I quit track and field last year and they were dissapointed and kept trying to get me to not quit but I quit anyway.
    I very rarely seem happy when my dad mentions training which I thought might show him I'm not happy playing any more but it doesn't. And whenever he asked me if I still wanna play I just say yes because I don't want him to feel like he wasted his time and effort coaching me. He's also the coach of my team. So I'm never allowed to skip a training session and my standards of how I play a rfe extremely high.
    I'm scared my parents are gonna be dissapointed in me. I have panic attacks thinking about what will happen if I don't quit and it's stressful. Its just not fun any more but I don't want my parents to be dissapointed.
    So Idk if I'm gonna tell them or if I'm just gonna live my life the way they want me to and continue playing which will result to me being miserable.
    Sometimes I wish I never started playing in the first place.
