I have to put this out there and get it out of my mind...
I havent even been on summer vacation for two weeks, and I'm already thinking about soccer tryouts beginning august 26. See, soccer is super intense in my town. tons of kids play, and most are good. I'm decent at soccer, I was a starter last year on defense. but last year, I was gaurenteed a spot on the team. this year, its quite debatable. I wish I didn't have to play, but my family has put a lot of pressure on me to continue playing soccer. I hate running, yet everyday I have ran just to keep in shape so I dont die at team camp. fuck soccer, its fucking with my head. I cant stop thinking about tryouts, and when I think about it I get nervours. its making me a wreck an a half. shit

Don't let your parents live vicariously through your high school soccer career....quit if it is making you that anxious and unhappy.

hey man, you are not the only one, summer soccer started, and we dont even have any coaches, due to the varsity one getting 'fired'...

If you fail, your family won't love you anymore... worse, you'll be a failure in life and will never amount to anything. PRESSURE!

Joking. It's just a game. if you can't enjoy playing it, quit, and find something you do enjoy. If your parents care enough about a game that they're willing to sacrifice your peace of mind for it, well, they're not very good role models. Ignore them, and do what's best for you. Meanwhile, if you do enjoy it and the pressure is the only problem... just remember, no one really cares if you screw up. It's not going to change the world somehow. Just have fun.

yeah jd, I enjoy soccer but I donno. I think its just I dont want to get cut and dissapoint my family. I have three older brothers, none of them have ever played soccer all 4 years. so when I was visiting with one of my brothers, he started talking about it and he was like 'well, one out of four has to do it'. and shit I love my brother more than anything, so I really just dont want to dissapoint him. I need to get my mind off of the tryouts so I can enjoy my summer

DAMN same with me, i used to love it but then i got hurt and i had to take a year off and the coaches kept pressuring me to stay with it anyway and its like i cant get out. but i would regret it later on if i did quit though.

Fall sport in Connecticut, and at all the New England prep schools....I'm pretty sure it's fall most of the country...but who knows, I could be wrong, I'm not really much of a high school soccer fan.

Spring time around here is lacrosse time.

I know exactly how you feel. I quit soccer this year after playing for years on multiple premiere teams, etc. It was really hard for my parents to take... don't let the pressure get to you. If you want just stop playing... its easier then you think

i had to quit soccer this year bc of wrestling, yes the winter sport wrestling. We have 'non-mandatory' and i put the in quotes bc if you miss, you basically arent on the team the following year. We have those 3 days a week, adn we're expected to lift 3 days a week. We ahve 3 camps to go to this summer, which total to $2500. coaches philosophy: 'summer wrestler make winter champions...train all year, and you'll be great' I wouldnt care that much, i mean its fun to beat the shit out of kids, but not worht all of thise. It all boils down to parents expectations. I'll make it to state soon, (not making a claim, i just know with all of this, its gonna happen). I jsut dont know if all of this is worth it. Its to late to quit now, there's already to much put into it, but out of all of the things that ive been expected to do, each one has made me a better person. youre bettering yourself every day you run, and have the discipline to show up, its making you a better person.

soccer tryouts suck balls. double sessions suck and its always so fucking hot out. 9-11 then 2-4? soccer can blow me. I enjoy the soccer season but tryouts are the WORST

Tryouts for Cross Country? On my team we can barely get enough kids.

we have like all the kids who cant do any other sport who come here to get a workout. So now we have a filter to catch all the fat kids who cant run 6 miles.
