Replying to Should I quit?
I have a serious dilema. For the past 8 years of my life, I have been playing football for the sole purpose of making varsity and getting a state championship. I will be a senior next year, but unfortunatly, we just got a new coach. He is really, really hardcore about winning and shit. We have practice starting TOMMOROW, and a scrimage the day after school gets out. I should be getting wasted off my ass that day. Anyways. After that, we get 2 days off and then a week long football camp. Then lifting every day at 6 am. Another camp in the middle of july, another at the end of july and the season start on August 9. I really, really do not want to play. The only reason that I am considering it is the obligation to myself and the team I guess. That's the only reason I have to stay. My reasons for quiting: Don't want to get injured (Graduating early to ski all winter.),I HATE the kids that play. They are all arrogant assholes that are incapable of treating any person outside the team with any respect whatsoever. I need to make money for next winter when I am going to be travelling all over. With my summer so broken up, holding a good job will be near impossible. I really don't want to waste my summer on football. I want to be getting wasted with my buddies, hanging with my firlfriend and longboarding as much as possible. The thought of assholes yelling at me everyday to work harder just doesn't sound that appealing. I am just really having trouble making this decision. Any suggestions would be helpful.
