How to play football?

How should I tell my parents I don't want to play football anymore?

  • I'm a sophmore in high school and next week training for football next year starts but I don't really enjoy or like it anymore. I have played football all of my life and my parents love watching me play too. Also, I started at linebacker for varsity this year and I'm unsure as how my coach is going to take it and if he'll be pissed at me for quitting. My coach says I could easily get a scholarhsip from a D1 team if I keep playing but I really don't have fun anymore with football and it seems like I'm just getting pushed into it because I have talent in it. How should I tell my parents and coach that I don't really want to play anymore?

  • Answer:

    the best way to do this is to sit down with your dad. and tell him you have just lost interest in football, and do not care for it anymore. I am sure he will ask you questions and all that, but he will know how you feel. I am sure he will understand and want to do what you feel is best for you. and about the coach. the coach can always find someone else, to put in your place. if he gets angry, so what. he will get over it. Do what you wish with your life, you do not have to live by the ways other people tell you. remember, it is your life. do what you want, if they do not like that. well that is too bad. if one gets angry toward you about this, just tell them; you do not try and tell them how to run their life. and if you did, would they do what you want? and see what type of answer they will give. I do believe they will not have anything else to say.

Well I don't think you should quit since there's a lot of pressure on you to play, get a scholarship etc. Besides, I have LIKED most of the sports I'm GOOD in...it's just natural...

you gotta do what makes you happy mate. if football is not for you any more, just go up to them and say that you want to stop playing and that you're more interested in....(whatever it is). Are you more academic, like another sport, love playing music, painting etc? Whatever it is, follow your passion. don't ever follow the path of what your parents want if you don't like it anymore. You'll end up regretting it and resenting them for a very long time. Follow your dreams.

tell your parents and your coach that you don't like football and don't want to play football Again your parents should let you have your choice and thank god you don't like football anymore it is so dum and gay and waste of a time and money.

How's this? "Mom, Dad, I'm going to quit football. I don't want to do it any more. It's no fun and I don't enjoy it." You can say that in less than 30 seconds

Honesty is the best policy. Sit down and share exactly what you did here. Your parents want the best for you.
