 So I want to quit lacrosse to ski more, because the team goes on trips on weekends that I could be skiing. It pisses me off because she says that I can't quit. Im pretty good at lacrosse, and she says "Skiing is just a hobby, not a sport". Thats what really pissed me off. She doesnt realize that I dont even like playing lacrosse that much and that skiing is what I want to do.

I'm assuming you're talking about your mom...

Skiing is an olympic sport (even if it's downhill), and lax is not

Yeah it was the same when I told my dad I wanted to stop AA baseball to ski more because the tryouts were interfering with the end of the ski season. It'll pass, not like she can force you playing lacross, especilly that lacross is one fuckin retarded sport.

same with my mom and hockey. She views it as just a hobby but i love it. A lot more than i do hockey. I still wanna play hockey just not in the winter but she does not care. I quit play high school varsity to ski and she was pissed. But now she wants me to go to college where I can still play hockey (not for the school) but i told her i wanna go somewhere colder. Even my dad said, whats the difference if i choose a college that has decent skiing over one I can play hockey at. She just does not understand.

all you guys clamoring for more time on the hill just need to remember you'll never grow up and take your family on a tennis/football/baseball/basketball vacation!

quit the ball sports and focus on what you really want to be doing.

slap the bitch in the face, take her gucci bag and her north face off her back, jab her if she act.

or you could politely quite lacrosse and explain to her that skiing is your passion. Parents like that word, "passion."

Isn't LAX a spring sport?  Do you have one of those coaches or moms who makes you train all year?

Your mom is probably worried that you'll have too much free time and might get into trouble.  Maybe you should get a job AND ski more?  By the way, this year halfpipe is an olympic sport too.  Now real freestyle skiing is an olympic sport and I think halfpipe is a Division 1 NCAA sport now too.  That seams pretty real to me...

who are all these parents that are forcing their kids to play sports in highschool if they don't want to?

granted it has been a few years since i was in highschool so maybe things have changed a bit, but what ever happened to parents letting their kids pick their own sports based on the fun they had playing them?

your mom is a bad parent in that regard, not to mention lame. and anyone else who forces their kids to play a sport they don't want to is the same.

highschool sports are about having fun with your friends and enjoying your youth, even if you are a scholarship quality athlete.

Sounds like your mom wants you to do well. Its nice of her, but frustrating for you.
You probably have to show her that you can attain some level of success in skiing so she'll see what kind of sport it really is. Problem is, if your mom only wants success for you, and for you to win. If so than lots of the fun could be sucked out of skiing for you. Fuck the lemons and bail.

unless you are going to choose your school based on proximity to awesome skiing and have no intention of playing lax, you shouldn't quit.  you aren't losing that much ski time in the big picture and if you like it playing d3 somewhere would be good times.  If you aren't serious about lax at all you can play club (i ran our team and loved it) but I quit in highschool too and regretted it.

My parents made me play a school sport and I decided to play tennis.  It's awesome because we have young coaches who don't really give a shit so we just practice for two hours after school and that's it, no Summer practice and no weekend practice or tournaments.  It's awesome because we do some great conditioning, we just fuck around at practice and I get out of class two times a week.  Somehow I made varsity last year (freshman year) so I got a letter and I guess that will look good for school.  The only reason I am playing school tennis is for college and it is pretty fun, mainly for college though.

if your lax team is pretty chill than you can say you just don't wanna make comitments on weekends and only during the week you would play lax.

If you really got the balz, and reallly want to quit this lax shit. then here is what you do. first just quit going to practice. if that doesn't work just don't come home for a few dayz.  I was told this strategy by a wise mexican named luis years ago.

best of luck!
